In 2015, the Iowa Cubs were a disparate collection of players. Some were prospects, some were AAAA players hoping for one final crack, and some were organizational players. The team went 80-64 and finished tied for second in the American North Division of the Pacific Coast League. Kris Bryant, Kyle Schwarber, and Addison Russell all spent short stints with the club before heading to Chicago.
Javy Baez led the team in batting average and Christian Villanueva paced his teammates with 18 HRs and 88 RBIs. Reliever Blake Cooper topped the pitching ranks with 50 appearances while Carlos Pimentel went 12-6 and was named the Pacific Coast League’s Pitcher of the Year.
