2022 first-round pick Cade Horton’s connections to the Cubs include a relationship with 2020 first-round pick Ed Howard.
Horton said he and Howard, who underwent season-ending hip surgery in May, played together in high school in MLB’s PDP League, a collaboration between MLB and USA Baseball, and a couple other events. The two have kept in touch since.
Horton’s best friend and Oklahoma teammate Kendall Pettis is from Chicago and is friends with Howard. Pettis attended Brother Rice. “I was just so excited to be able to be with him,” Horton said of Howard. “I'm just ready to get to work.” Along with Howard, Horton has past relationships with Cubs prospects Pete Crow-Armstrong — whom he also has played with — and starting pitcher Kohl Franklin, who, like Horton, is from Oklahoma."I can't wait to get there, though," Horton said."It's going to be an awesome experience. I'm truly blessed to be in this position."
