Nico Hoerner's first foray into pro ball hasn't gone exactly as planned. The Cubs shortstop didn't expect to see his debut end after 14 games and he didn't count on playing in the Arizona Fall League.
Those two developments are related. The 24th overall pick in June and the lone 2018 draftee in the Fall League, Hoerner joined the Mesa Solar Sox to make up for lost at-bats and defensive reps after straining ligaments in his left elbow while diving for a ball in mid-July.
