Some crazy pitch metric numbers from Porter Hodge tonight in his 5th AAA appearance (1.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 2 K). Getting 2 ft of break on the sweeper and getting IVB up to 20 on the cutting four seam. The big league look is coming when Cubs are confident he’ll throw strikes.
Oh boy, they went and let him start creating energy. Watch out, league
Five Stars of Cub Farm, 4/19. 5. Brody McCullough and Porter Hodge. 4. Jefferson Rojas. During 8 game hit streak: 5.4 K%. 3. Pablo Aliendo. 333/441/667. 2. Matt Thompson. 1. BJ Murray. First 11 G: 348 OPS. Last 6 G: 1242 OPS.
Whatever the opposite of nibbling is, that’s the Cade Horton adjective.
Today’s episode is a fun one. @cubprospects and I dig into the 11 first picks that call the Cubs organization home… Happ Hoerner Wicks Howard Horton Shaw Taillon Swanson Madrigal Busch PCA … and discuss the development of each one of them northsidebound.com/2024/04/16/cub…

After that excellent inning by Wesneski, it’s worth remembering that Scott Effross hasn’t pitched a big league inning since 2022.
@IvyFutures @cubprospects check out the glove of future Cubs star @cadehorton14
@cubprospects Yeah, he's gotten a lot bigger a lot faster than I anticipated.
@cubprospects @mj_ernst I have a feeling we should looking more at 3B comps.
Made the drive from Columbia to Chattanooga, surviving Atlanta rush hour, and are checking out Matt Shaw and the @smokiesbaseball this evening.
Very excited about this!
Coming Soon….. @martymush X @J_Steele21 x.com/sluggingpct/st…
@OutOfTheVines @Pelicanbaseball Jack is one of the best people I’ve met playing ball. Happy to see him on the bump again!
Jose Cuas' whole use on this team was to be tough on righty hitters. And again, there's value in finding out if a player ain't it in those spots this early in the season. You can't just not use him if he's on the team.
94.0 on the dot…
Okay, I saw the numbers @cubprospects just posted for Busch last year against 95mph+ and it made it hard to jive with numbers I posted below for 94+ until you see what Busch did against 4s FB from 94.0-95.0 MPH 91 pitch sample: .471/.591/1.000(!), .630 wOBA, .529 ISO L.O.L
The smile of a man who knows there's a sportsbook attached to the stadium
Shohei Ohtani is at Wrigley Field for the first time.
@cubprospects That went well for you! Hope you’re having a wonderful trip 😊
@IvyFutures @BleacherNation @cubprospects When the fastball is 95.1 mph vs. when the fastball is 94.9 mph
@BleacherNation @cubprospects Lord help the man who throws Michael Busch a fastball at 94.3 mph
@IvyFutures @cubprospects So he wants it at EXACTLY 94.5 lol
Okay, I saw the numbers @cubprospects just posted for Busch last year against 95mph+ and it made it hard to jive with numbers I posted below for 94+ until you see what Busch did against 4s FB from 94.0-95.0 MPH 91 pitch sample: .471/.591/1.000(!), .630 wOBA, .529 ISO L.O.L
The post by @BleacherNation on whether teams are trying to attack Michael Busch with high velo four-seams got me thinking about his work in the minors. Busch vs 4s FB 94 mph+ in '23 at AAA: .298/.389/.489 (.381 wOBA), 18.5% K-rate, .191 ISO That's a curious strategy.
