    The 99th percentile outcome is happening right now for Pete Crow-Armstrong and the Chicago Cubs. Unlocking the center fielder's power potential, to go with his speed and defense, is turning him into one of the sport's most dynamic players.

    CHICAGO - Tuesday night was supposed to be about youngster Moisés Ballesteros making his MLB debut.

It's not quite to the level of Mark Prior, the No. 2 pick in the 2001 draft who made it to Wrigley Field less than a year later. But in Horton, the Cubs again, finally, see a homegrown pitcher with a wow factor. Getting Horton back onto the fast track became a team effort. For all the hype, Horton had a 2024 season to forget.

    The Chicago Cubs are summoning Cade Horton to New York from Triple-A Iowa, a league source confirmed to The Athletic, lining up their top pitching prospect to potentially make his major-league debut this weekend against the Mets in a marquee matchup at Citi Field.
