"The Cubs have been winning the war of attrition by outlasting their opponents. Their .353 OBP leads the league, and they've had 45 more plate appearances with runners on base than any other team in MLB."
"The Cubs are fourth in home runs (42) and slugging (.427), second in wOBA (.349) and wRC+ (121), and tied for first in fWAR (7.6)."
"If there's one area in which I'd like to see them make some improvements, it's in their baserunning. The Cubs currently rank 17th in steals (20) and BsR (-0.1) after being third in both categories last season."
The Cubs returned to Chicago with an even record after a road trip, now positioned to take first place against the Diamondbacks. Despite inconsistencies, they lead the league in on-base percentage and have significantly more plate appearances with runners on base than any other team. The Cubs have shown both persistence and power, ranking high in home runs and offensive metrics. However, their baserunning has declined, ranking 17th in steals, indicating room for improvement in that area.
