A look at trends after the second round of the City Series, in which the Chicago White Sox won two of three against the Cubs at Guaranteed Rate Field. The Sox took five of six overall in this year’s City Series.
Wisdom’s power numbers understandably garner most of the attention surrounding the 30-year-old rookie. His defensive work, especially at third base, shouldn’t be overlooked, though. He made several nice plays there against the White Sox, earning praise from starting pitcher Alec Mills after Saturday’s Cubs victory for the work behind him.
While Wisdom has passed the eye test defensively, the numbers also support his steadiness in the field.
