Christopher Morel #5 of the Chicago Cubs is mobbed by teammates following a walk-off three-run home run against the Chicago White Sox at Wrigley Field on August 16, 2023 in Chicago, Illinois. The Cubs defeated the White Sox 4-3.

Christopher Morel’s routine in between at-bats Wednesday night, before his three-run walk-off homer, had evolved since he first tried his hand at designated hitter.

It wasn’t natural at first. He had so much time in between at-bats to contemplate his last plate appearance, watch film on the tablets in the dugout, take swings in the batting cages.
