After Recovering from ‘Weird Injury,’ Rowan Wick Plans to Execute Simple Plan for Success

Rowan Wick has come a long way since bouncing around in the minors as a catcher and outfielder before being converted to the mound in 2015. He debuted with the Padres three years later and became a mainstay in the Cubs bullpen in 2019. Other than two rough outings last August, he may have been their best reliever in 2020.

Outside of giving up two runs on two hits in each in those back-to-back outings, Wick allowed only two total runs on 14 hits and five walks. All told, he struck out 20 against six walks and surrendered just one homer.
