It was an eventful Spring Training debut for Yu Darvish, who introduced himself to the Cubs with the following first inning:
Walk
Wild pitch
Strikeout
Stolen base
Walk
Wild pitch
Strikeout
Strikeout
He would go on to pitch a clean second inning with another strikeout. Most importantly, his arm did not fall off at any point, so it was a successful first go. I’m going to assume he was just too nasty out there, and Willson Contreras will adjust (in terms of those wild pitches).
