Cubs rookie Hayden Wesneski pitched another six impressive innings in his final start Monday, earning a bump to No. 2 in the Cubs’ 2023 Rotation Power Rankings.
“I thought I would be in Scranton, Pennsylvania, still,” he said of the Yankees’ Triple-A home. “September’s been long, but this year’s been short. I don’t know; it’s been weird. It’s just been a crazy year to be honest with you.”“I thought he threw great. Every outing he gave us a chance to win,” said manager David Ross, who has suggested Wesneski should be in the mix next spring to try to earn a starting job. “He threw strikes, had command of the zone with multiple pitches.
And, perhaps to his credit , Wesneski said he might have done better if not for a lapse in process in his final couple of games. NBC Sports Chicago has taken a closer look at in-house rotation pieces as they head into a crossroads offseason that figures to include targeting at least one significant starting pitcher in free agency.
