Needing arms, the Cubs attended the showcase of Corey Kluber on Wednesday.
Longtime Indians pitcher Corey Kluber had a large presence at his showcase, with as many as 25 teams were present according to ESPN’s Jeff Passan. According to MLB Trade Rumors, former Cubs Steve Cishek and Anthony Swarzak were also present at the showcase.
Passan notes that his velocity was around 88-90 mph, which fits right in with the North Siders since none of their other starters throw harder than that. This was his first time throwing since the injury, so the velocity isn’t all the way worked up yet.
