Horton averaged 93.4 mph (touched 94.9 mph) with his fastball in his first start for Triple-A Iowa on May 4 and averaged 93.9 mph (touched 95.5 mph) in his second start May 10 after sitting at 95-97 mph with his fastball and regularly touching 98 mph in 2023. This doesn't necessarily mean Horton is dealing with anything physically, but it's worth noting that he's not working with the same caliber stuff as was advertised during the offseason. Horton had a 1.10 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and an 18:2 K:BB in 16.1 innings across four starts in a return assignment to Double-A Tennessee before getting promoted to Triple-A at the end of April. He has given up eight earned runs on seven hits, eight walks and two home runs while striking out 11 in seven innings through his first two starts at the highest level of the minors. Since Triple-A pitch velocities are public, it's worth keeping tabs on Horton's pitch velocities over his next few outings to see if things keep trending up. This is also Horton's first experience with the automated balls and strikes system at Triple-A, so perhaps that's partly to blame for his elevated walk rate.... See More ... See Less

Cubs' Cade Horton: Missing bats at High-A
Horton has a 3.89 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and a 28.7 K-BB% in nine starts (39.1 innings) for High-A South Bend. The No. 7 overall pick in last year's draft, Horton made his first four pro starts at Single-A before quickly getting the bump to High-A in early May. With a slew of promotions and graduations, Horton has a case as one of the top five pitching prospects left in the minors. He has given up five or more earned runs in two of his nine starts at High-A, but he had a dominant seven-start run from May 17 through June 29, logging a 1.76 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 49 strikeouts in 30.2 innings. Given his age (turns 22 in August) and pedigree, Horton should soon get a promotion to Double-A Tennessee.... See More ... See Less -
Cubs' Cade Horton: Bumped to High-A
Horton will make his High-A debut Wednesday after logging a 1.26 ERA, 0.84 WHIP and 21 strikeouts in 14.1 innings across four starts for Single-A Myrtle Beach. The No. 7 overall pick in last year's draft, Horton has one of the best sliders in the minors and was overmatching Single-A hitters in his pro debut. He could feasibly climb beyond High-A this season if he stays healthy, but injuries limited him to 53.2 innings at Oklahoma, so his workload will be monitored.... See More ... See Less

Meghan Montemurro@M_Montemurro3M agoThe Cubs' 5 runs in the 10th tonight vs. MIL are their most in an inning since May 11 when they tallied 7 runs in 5th at the Pirates, who walked in six of them in that frame. In the 14 games between then, the Cubs had only four innings in which they scored more than two runs.

Meghan Montemurro@M_Montemurro25M agoDown to Brewers' last strike, Willy Adames gets enough of Héctor Neris' splitter to tie game in 9th. He's thrown out going to 2B, on to extras. Cubs' wasted opportunities with runners in scoring position loom again in a 1-1 game. Twice had bases loaded tonight and got nothing.

Meghan Montemurro@M_Montemurro1H agoSince Ben Brown allowed 6 runs in 1.2 IP in his MLB debut March 30, the Cubs rookie has allowed only 8 runs in 44.2 IP (1.61 ERA). And in that span, Brown has given up 1 run or less in 10 of his 12 outings.

Meghan Montemurro@M_Montemurro1H agoThe Cubs' combined no-hitter ends with one out in the 8th on Fralick's single up the middle just beyond a diving Swanson.

Jesse Rogers@JesseRogersESPN1H agoSpoke too soon. The Cubs have double barrel action going in the pen.
-
Meghan Montemurro@M_Montemurro1H agoMake it 6 no-hit innings for Cubs rookie Ben Brown tonight against the Brewers. He's walked two and struck out 8. His four-seam fastball has accounted for 69% of his 78 pitches thrown.
-
Jesse Rogers@JesseRogersESPN1H agoCubs rookie Ben Brown has not allowed a hit to the Brewers through 6 innings. He's only thrown 78 pitches, issuing two walks while striking out 8. His career high in pitches in 89, reached on May 2. He's been fantastic. Cubs pen is quiet.
-
Meghan Montemurro@M_Montemurro2H agoBen Brown is through 5 no-hit innings vs. Brewers on 64 pitches. Brown, who has walked two and struck out 6, has dominated with fastball-curveball as he's done all season. He's generated 14 called strikes and 6 whiffs on his fastball tonight. Cubs up 1-0 on Busch's homer in 3rd

Meghan Montemurro@M_Montemurro2H agoAs offense flounders in May, president of baseball operations Jed Hoyer expresses faith in hitters as Cubs try to avoid drawing too many conclusions 1/3 of way through season. “We have to rely on the track record and assume that this turns around soon.” https://t.co/s7GOBVt74e
