| Who Are The Chicago Cubs Pitchers |
The Aces (or So They Think)
Let's start with the big dogs. These guys are supposed to be the ones who strike fear into the hearts of batters. Or, at least, make them swing and miss a lot.
Tip: Make mental notes as you go.
Kyle Hendricks: The gentle giant. This guy throws the ball like it's a lazy Sunday afternoon. But don't be fooled, it's got some wicked movement that'll make batters look silly.
Justin Steele: A bit more fire in the belly compared to Hendricks. He's got a decent fastball and a slider that's as sharp as a tack.
The Relief Crew: The Unsung Heroes (Or Villains, Depending on the Day)
These guys come in when things get messy. They're like the cleanup crew after a frat party.
Tip: Stop when confused — clarity comes with patience.

Mark Leiter Jr.: He's the guy who comes in when the Cubs are up by a million or down by a million. It's hard to know what to expect from him.
Michael Fulmer: A bit more experienced than Leiter, but still, you never quite know what you're going to get.
The Rest of the Bunch
There's a whole bunch of other pitchers on the Cubs roster, but let's be honest, who can keep track of them all? They come and go like the seasons.
QuickTip: Skim for bold or italicized words.
