With Addison Russell unavailable to the Chicago Cubs for the NLCS, Quintin Berry was added to the roster to take his place. Berry is a capable outfielder if called upon, but make no mistake–Berry is on this team for his speed and ability to steal a base. The Cubs are deep–and flexible with many of their position players. Having a pinch-running specialist is a luxury not all teams will have in the postseason.
Berry is 32-for-33 in stolen base attempts, including 5-for-5 in the postseason with Detroit and Boston.
