President of baseball operations Theo Epstein has made it known that big changes are coming. He has openly said the Chicago Cubs need to reassess the way it develops players and what they see as key metrics.
It’s no secret the Cubs need to start advancing with the times and embrace some of the new ideas and technologies that teams are using for player development. Two of the big areas that the team have struggled in are contact and velocity. Addressing these shortcomings are crucial this winter and should be the main focus of Epstein and his front office.
