At 26 years old, Chicago Cubs Rowan Wick is hardly a spring chicken or Can’t-miss prospect. However, the hard-throwing right-hander has recently made the most of his opportunities riding the Iowa shuttle.
During this most recent nightmare of a road trip, Wick has been the best Cubs’ reliever with four scoreless appearances between San Francisco and Milwaukee. With the struggles of heavily-used stalwarts Pedro Strop and Steve Cishek, it couldn’t come at a better time for Wick or the team.
Wick, a Canadian by birth, has made nine appearances throughout the season for the big league Cubs this season, in several stints.
