Chicago Cubs: Is Nico Hoerner actually this good?
A pleasant surprise to most fans, Nico Hoerner arrived in San Diego earlier this week ready to help the big league Cubs in a push for the playoffs. So far, he hasn’t just helped to fill in. He’s been the spark plug the team needs.
Let’s say it: Chicago Cubs Nico Hoerner is a spectacular baseball player. A lot of people knew it. Cubs’ fans hoped he would be, and even naysayers admitted he at least looked the part of a big-league ballplayer way back in spring training. At just 21 years of age, and with many big-league infielders seemingly blocking his ascendance earlier this year, few thought we would see him up with the Cubs in 2019.
