The Chicago Cubs minor league pitching rotations underwent a drastic change this spring. While Iowa and Tennessee have always had five-man rotations, the lower portions of the minors always threw six pitchers out there. This year, however, even the lower minors went down to five. As a result, Bryan Hudson was left behind in extended spring training when minor league camp broke in order to continue working and waiting for a chance. That chance came in late April and he has not looked back.
Hudson is a 6’7”, 220 pound left-handed pitcher whom the Cubs selected in the third round of the 2015 MLB Draft.
