September call-ups are always an exciting time of the baseball season. For the Chicago Cubs, there have been several repeat customers called up to help the team down the stretch the past few years, like Dillon Maples, Taylor Davis, and James Norwood.
Call-ups have always allowed minor leaguers to get their foot in the door with an impact performance in a playoff race, or allow them to experience the majors for the first time. Terrance Gore, for example, joined the team in September last year and gave the Cubs a game-changing speed boost, racking up six stolen bases in fourteen games played.
