Sacramento, Ca, native Nicklaus Michael Madrigal came to the Cubs (with Cody Heuer) in the Craig Kimbrel trade. He had been the No. 4 overall pick in the first round of the 2018 Amateur Draft, out of Oregon State, chosen by the White Sox.
He has suffered injury after injury and is just now approaching numbers consistent with a full season of Major League ball, after four calendar years in The Show. His line is .291/.337/.360, with 31 bases on balls and 52 strikeouts in 156 games over which he has made 589 plate appearances.
