Oh my, Nico and the entire team were goings berserk, jumping around deliriously after Conforto's walk off home run. Man, what a night!

Flash freeze of Nico Hoerner parallel to the ground on his diving stop. Spectacular. Not even super man can get that parallel.

This is the most glove side "stretched out" diving stop of Nico Hoerner's career. He's parallel to the ground at the lip of the grass against a scorcher. Incredible. A super slowed down and zoomed in look. (And he knows it. Look at his reaction. He knows. That's the best.)

A zoomed in and slowed down look at Moisés Ballesteros' opposite-field home run. Such a smooth and controlled swing. Can't get enough.

Slow-mo comparison of Pete Crow-Armstrong's two homers against Italy. Left home run: against a changeup—slightly out front, adjusts, stays back enough for a moon shot. Right home run: against a breaker inside. Sees it right away. Bye.

With runners on first and third in the 4th, Dansby Swanson hauled in a tough pop-up (xBA .840). If it drops, Boyd likely exits earlier, the Cubs trail by two or more, and the bullpen gets taxed. In hindsight, Dansby’s play saved the game.

The Cubs lead MLB in squared up contact in the month of May. In the last 3 weeks, they hit 94 balls in the air over 90 MPH for outs. Here's a video of all of them. If 5% of these fall for extra base hits, multiple games change in the Cubs favor. Baseball is dumb.

Moisés Ballesteros' walk with the bases loaded yesterday was the ultimate professional plate appearance. He goes down 0-2 and doesn't flinch. He spits on 3 tough pitches, fouls a tough breaker, and looks at another borderline pitch for ball 4. Very, very impressive.

Should we be worried about the Cubs 24th ranked batting average with runners in scoring position? The Cubs lead MLB in chances with RISP (579 plate appearances), and they have the 7th most base hits (113 hits, video shows all of them). Let's look deeper. Thread (1/5)

Dansby Swanson slides and whips a throw across the diamond in last year's Japanese opener. Japan has video technology that showed an angle we don't get here in the US. ✅ No. 110 of 110 defensive highlights before the first spring training game.

All 738 of Nico Hoerner's career hits clipped together in rapid succession from first game to most recent game. A 25-minute compilation...evolution from closed-stance and sort of "slappy" to a more open stance and hitting closer to the ground.

"There’s power in there," Cubs batting coach Dustin Kelly said of Nico Hoerner. "‘If you watch [him], there’s plenty of power in there." Here are all 36 of his career home runs. It’ll be fascinating to see if he starts showing a bit more pop this season.

Every career extra base hit—from first to most recent—in Pete Crow-Armstrong's young career. Congrats to PCA and the Cubs on their extension. Cubs fans have a good one.

Ian Happ has 44 batted balls over 100 MPH for outs and 76 squared/hard outs. If even a quarter fell as hits—just slightly different angles or wind—he’d be having his best season. Results matter, but frankly I didn't realize he was hitting into a lot of bad luck.

Cade Horton was dominant in the 2nd half last year— a 1.03 ERA and finishing with a 2.67 ERA overall (118 innings). Cade dominated in part because of a new changeup. He used it primarily against lefties. Another out pitch. Here's video of every changeup whiff from last year.

What’s driving Pete Crow-Armstrong’s 23 homers? A steep, launching bat path: - 15° attack angle (vs. 10° avg) - 35° bat tilt (vs. 32° avg) - 85th percentile barrel rate - 55th percentile bat speed He’s MLB’s best defender, one of its fastest runners—and swings like a slugger.
