Cubs’ confident Ian Happ seeking to pick up where he left off in Arizona

One of the little things that was lost when baseball, and all of sports, shut things down in March: Ian Happ’s torrid spring.

The outfielder was 13-for-27 with two home runs and 11 RBI in Cactus League games when the plug was pulled on his hot bat. It’s never a good time to cool off at the plate, but that was some tough timing for a player who, at 25, was hoping for a breakout season.

He still is, though, even if it’s of the two-plus-month variety.

“I feel great, my body feels great and it’s just a matter of getting reps in,” Happ said.
