NEW YORK – Cubs rookie Cade Horton knew exactly what he wanted to throw to put away Mets superstar Juan Soto.
In a game the Cubs would go on to win 6-5, Horton was 3 \u2154 innings into his major-league debut, and he hadn’t yet thrown a changeup.
“That pitch is overlooked,” Horton said after the game. “I throw it so little on the scouting report, and he’d already seen a lot of breaking stuff. And so I just wanted to mix something in.”
