If I had written last month about the Cubs’ reigning minor league player and pitcher of the year squaring off, it would have read like fanfic. Fast forward to baseball’s early attempts to reopen and I don’t have to write about it because we’ve got video evidence. Brennen Davis plays the role of Mary Sue in this one, taking his cuts in live BP against heralded righty Cory Abbott.
Abbott left one middle-in and Davis did not miss his spot, as evidenced by the very loud noises made by the bat and the spectators. It should come as no surprise that the most vocal among the onlookers was Tyson Miller, who said “It won’t hit Twitter” shortly before he posted it to Twitter.
