At The Cub Reporter, Arizona Phil posted late Saturday a list of the players attending the Cubs October Instructional League. Games will begin this week. The 47 Cubs players are closely split between pitchers and hitters (22 pitchers), and I've decided to do snapshots on the players in attendance, three-ish at a time. Nonetheless, I want you to have slight snippets of the players if the development angle intrigues you. Today, I’m going with three relatively obscure names.
Porter Hodge was a 2019 13th-round selection from Cottonwood High School in Salt Lake City, Utah.
