Cade Horton Logs Season-High Six Innings
Cade Horton logged a season-high six innings on Tuesday. In this outing, Horton allowed just one run and struck out five en route to picking up his second victory of the campaign. In this start, he allowed just three hits and one free pass. Through his first 23 innings of the Triple-A regular season (five starts), the top pitching prospect in Chicago has held a 1.17 ERA with a 0.96 WHIP. He has struck out 28 batters and served up 12 free passes. This is an excellent sign for the former seventh overall pick, as he was limited to just 34 1/3 innings of work last season due to shoulder strain. However, Horton appears to have returned to form and is flashing elite upside. If he continues to produce well at Triple-A, he could make his MLB debut in the coming weeks.
