The Cubs’ bats were all over Mariners starter Marco Gonzales today (and most of the guys who followed him), though the Mariners’ bats weren’t too far behind. Good day for offense, I guess. Cubs win 16-12.
The Cubs’ starting catcher homered for the third straight game (Josh Phegley this time), and Albert Almora continued to scorch. I liked seeing Steven Souza smoke a couple balls, too. The Cubs added a homer from Iowa catcher/utility man P.J. Higgins:
P.J. Higgins estimated fly ball distance on pulled balls since 2016 (per @MinorGraphs)
2016 – 272 feet
2017 – 281 feet
2018 – 291 feet
2019 – 322 feet2020 – off to a good start https://t.co/Q5A8khl50d
