Chicago Cubs’ Kyle Schwarber (12) celebrates his home run against the Arizona Diamondbacks with hitting coach John Mallee (11) and catching coach Mike Borzello, right, during the sixth inning of a baseball game Friday, Aug 11, 2017, in Phoenix.

John Mallee knows a thing or two about what it takes for a coaching staff to help lead a team to a World Series title. He served as the Cubs hitting coach for three years, through the clubs’ 2016 championship.

He’ll be returning to the Cubs’ major-league coaching staff next season, according to a report from The Athletic.
