The One and Only

In the 2018 season, 990 players had at least one plate appearance; 799 players had a pitching appearance.

Today, we’re narrowing it down to one.

Who are the Cubs who can claim to be the only player in the Majors in 2018 to accomplish something? I’m going to answer that question right here with eleven examples.

Seventy-five pitchers had at least 9 wins in 2018… only one of those seventy-five had at least 9 RBI at the plate as well.

Jon Lester. 18 Wins, 9 RBI in 2018

Sixty-two pitchers tossed at least 160 innings in 2018… one did so without throwing a wild pitch.
