The Chicago Cubs drafted Nico Hoerner last summer with the 24th overall pick and spent just over a year in the minors, hitting .292/.349/.403 in 72 games between Rookie Level ball and Double-A Tennessee.
After the big league team lost both Javier Baez and Addison Russell to injuries earlier this month, Hoerner received the call – becoming the first player from the 2018 MLB Draft class to make his debut.
After an insane first week, where he turned heads and very much looked like he belonged, people are now asking whether or not Hoerner should open 2020 with Chicago.
