Heading into the NLCS this weekend, Chicago has done some pretty remarkable things already this postseason.
A rookie drafted just 15-plus months ago, Kyle Schwarber, went 5-for-10, including a moon-shot home run that landed on top of the new right-field video board, in the NLDS. Six different Cubs players homered in the Game 3 win, setting a new postseason record in the process.
Jorge Soler, Anthony Rizzo and Javier Baez all got in on the power show at Wrigley, as well – lighting up Cardinals’ pitching with regularity.
