Daniel Moskos and Tommy Hottovy are 2 of the best at developing pitchers internally. Despite a season filled with difficulties and injuries, the Cubs were still able to lean on unexpected heroes on the staff.

In the starting staff, fairly unexpected superb seasons from Shota Imanaga and Jameson Taillon kept this team in the playoff conversation.I sat down with Daniel Moskos to discuss how the Cubs are so good at developing pitchers internally.Get a 15% discount to Obvious Shirts.
