MESA, Ariz. – Loop around the back of the Cubs’ main practice field, onto the spring training complex’ patio, and the view across the agility field will be far different from years past.
Where there once was just more grass, leading out to the bullpens and half field, now there stands an 18,000-square foot pitching and hitting lab.
It extends nearly the length of the agility field, emblazoned with two different Cubs logos and the team name in the middle.
“Camp’s never looked better,” Cubs chairman Tom Ricketts said earlier this spring.
