Saturday Cubs Notes: Heyward’s Leadership on Display, Pederson’s Prep, What It Takes to Become a Pitching Prospect, Helping Lost Boyz

You ever wake up and realize that your brain just doesn’t want to shift out of first gear? Regular readers may believe that’s usually the case for me, so maybe that means I’m just idling in neutral this morning. As such, I’m only going to touch briefly on a few interesting topics that have popped up recently.

The first of those is Jason Heyward’s leadership, something that has been evident from the infamous rain delay speech but that has since taken hold in more than just the clubhouse. Heyward now lives in Chicago year-round and is very active with various causes both in the community and nationwide.
