So far in this series we’ve profiled Cubs hitters from leadoff to cleanup: Nico Hoerner, Dansby Swanson, Ian Happ and Cody Bellinger. This week, we’ll bring you Trey Mancini and Eric Hosmer, and next week we’ll have Patrick Wisdom, Tucker Barnhart, and Nick Madrigal for the nicely balanced starting nine. After that, we’ll have the bench and then the starting pitchers. Eventually we’ll have capsules of the entire 40-man roster.
But now’s the time for former Baltimore Oriole, Houston Astro, and cancer survivor Joseph Anthony Mancini III (Trey) to take his bows.
