The Chicago Cubs are getting elite production out of rookie starting pitcher Cade Horton, who is putting together the first rookie of the year campaign in Chicago since Kris Bryant in 2015.
After his solid start against the Colorado Rockies on Friday night, Horton's season ERA sits at a stellar 2.92 in 19 games, with 81 strikeouts over 98 2/3 innings pitched this year. Horton is also enjoying the hottest stretch of his professional career since the All-Star break, where he has a 6-1 record and a 0.86 ERA. The Cubs have also won 12 of the 18 games that Horton has started this year, showing just how valuable the rookie has been for the team.
