After a 14-7 South Bend Cubs win over the Lake County Captains last month, I had the chance to talk with Cubs pitching prospect Cory Abbott. Abbott was the Cubs second-round choice in 2017. Abbott has since been promoted to Advanced-A Myrtle Beach. Here are some of the highlights of the discussion.
TH: You picked a nice day to not be pitching today.
CA: Yeah, quite a bit of offense both ways. Nice to get the win.
TH: You’re a San Diego kid. Who did you root for growing up?
