We talked about how Nico Hoerner was having a bit of a down period as the Cubs ground their way through a 20-games-in-19-days stretch in August, and it was pretty understandable given that this is a very long year for him. Necessary for development, of course. But long.
Well, I feel like he’s heating back up to end the year, and that includes a couple hits already today, including this dinger he just donged:
Hoerner is now just one homer away from double-digits on the year, which would feel like a nice little milestone, given the skillset.
