There have been many pitchers for the Chicago Cubs organization, but probably the most unrecognized might be Jon Lieber. After nearly spend a decade and a half playing professional baseball, Lieber would shine during his 20 win performance in 2001.
Along with other Cubs, Lieber is another athlete that most of us nowadays don’t mention that often and discuss his time in the Windy City. Lieber pitching arsenal includes a fastball, a slider, and a changeup. Probably the best pitches to have in your repertory.
