2019 Chicago Cubs Affiliate Preview: South Bend Cubs Feature Several Top Draft Picks
At 64-74, the 2018 South Bend Cubs did not have one of their best years. While they had plenty of pitching, a lack of impact hitting up and down the lineup was noticeable. Still, it was a gritty team that saw Jared Young and Miguel Amaya form one of the best one-two punches in the Cubs’ system. Even with that firepower, the Cubs could not put things together.
Things look to be a little brighter when it comes to the bats in 2019. Buoyed by several top 2018 draft picks, South Bend should be well situated to improve under new manager Buddy Bailey.
Possible Daily Lineup
C – Rafelin Lorenzo
1B – Tyler Durna
2B – Delvin Zinn, Levi Jordan
SS – Andy Weber
3B – Fidel Mejia
