MESA, Ariz. – New Cubs catcher Tucker Barnhart surprised rookie Hayden Wesneski after their first bullpen together. As they went over the session, Barnhart told Wesneski it was about what the veteran backstop had expected.
Barnhart had already talked with Cubs pitching coaches and catcher Yan Gomes, who is in his second year with the club, about Wesneski’s best pitches and where to set up for each pitches to get the most out of the rookie right-hander.
