Pitchers and catchers reported yesterday for the Chicago Cubs, but they weren’t the only ones who showed up in Mesa. While the pitchers and catchers got started on some work, several of the hitters made their way to a pre-camp workout. Guys like Kyle Schwarber, Anthony Rizzo, Jason Heyward and Albert Almora Jr. were just a few to take players to take part. The Cubs are ready, and so are we.
When we look back at 2016, it all started with the pitching. The reason they were able to have such a large run differential was that the staff didn’t allow much.
