Re: General Cubs Chit-Chat
“Driveline R&D has this metric called Stuff Plus, which essentially takes every breaking ball over the last five years and gives it a number,” Uvila told me earlier this week. “It’s kind of like wRC+, where 100 is average. I think the highest one was a dude with the Cubs, named [Dillon] Maples, and his graded out at something like 240. So there’s this range of pitches, and looking at the list, I saw this theme of curveballs at 84-85 [mph]. I said, ‘Man, I need to throw this pitch harder.’”

I don't spend a lot of time imagining escaping this hellscape, but when I do, I'm thinking about Belize, and largely because of the Cub connection. (That and my wife really likes scuba diving.)

Totally expected to find Hendricks in this article, but did not expect to see Alec Mills
