The Chicago Cubs have been making headlines this season due to the impressive performances of their bottom-of-the-lineup hitters, particularly Carson Kelly and Pete Crow-Armstrong. During a recent game against the Arizona Diamondbacks, Kelly hit two home runs in a thrilling comeback win. The team's bottom three hitters are now crucial scorers, pushing the Cubs to lead MLB with an average of 6.3 runs per game, despite traditionally being overlooked in such positions. Through this effective lineup, the Cubs have emerged as a dominant offensive force early this season.
Batting eighth in the lineup, the Chicago Cubs catcher had already hit two home runs and driven in five in what would end up as a wild 13-11 comeback win over the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Chants directed toward a catcher at the bottom of the order aren't commonplace in MLB -- but then again, neither is the month the Cubs catcher is having nor the production the team is getting from the bottom of the lineup.
