MESA, Ariz. – The Cubs are going to have a new look rotation in 2021. Right-handers Jake Arrieta, Zach Davies, and Trevor Williams were all added to the staff this offseason and will be plugged into the team’s rotation.
The newest additions to the rotation provides experience to the team’s rotation, but with none of those starting pitchers lighting up the radar gun, this season provides a unique opportunity for right-hander Adbert Alzolay.
Unlike his rotation mates, Alzolay’s fastball is a weapon, and being the only power arm in the team’s rotation plans, he could be a major factor in 2021.
