Jim Deshaies never pitched for the Cubs, yet he serves as a prominent color commentator for their games since 2013, effectively connecting with fans.
Deshaies set the modern era record with eight consecutive strikeouts to start a game in 1986, a notable achievement in his MLB career.
The Yankees of the mid-80s struggled without strong pitching behind ace Ron Guidry, making Deshaies' potential noteworthy during his time in the system.
Drafted as a 21st-round pick by the Yankees, Deshaies quickly proved his worth in the minors, leading the New York-Penn League in strikeouts.
