Jed Hoyer praises Cubs rookie right-hander Cade Horton for 2025 season | Marquee Sports Network

Go Jordan and then Andy next. Hey Jed, is Kate Horton set up for a normal offseason just with where he was and then just what was it like to see after 30 odd innings last year what he did this year and to put himself in that rookie of the year race. Yeah. Um you know he he was in a good position. He was going to he was going to be on the roster if we won on Saturday. You know he would have he would have been on this next roster. He wouldn’t have been stretched out to probably pitch more than a couple innings. But I certainly that was our plan was to was to to be able to use him. His he was throwing bullpens by the end and so um the expectation is that he has a totally normal offseason. Um he may rest it a bit now to like let that rib continue to heal. Um but he was exceptional. Uh and you know he wanted to pitch so badly. I think that was one of the the hardest parts of that whole situation was that he tried. You know he really did. He tried to to push through it and we just realized there was there was no way to do it. Um he was incredible in the second half. Um I just felt like start to start, you know, watching him evolve as a pitcher. Uh he picked up new things. I mean he’s um change up was sort of a new pitch when we got him and he and he developed that really well. He started using a two seamer more. Um obviously he pounds the zone and and is super efficient. Um, yeah, his second half was was exceptional and you put himself in the, you know, in the in the conversation to be rookie of the year. Um, given how much of a competitor he is, I I was sad for him that he didn’t get a pit pitch in the postseason. Um, and I know that’s going to be his number one goal, you know, going forward. But, um, just a great development year. Great job by Kade, great job by the coaching staff with him and, uh, just excited for things going forward. And I expect he’ll have a completely normal offseason. [Applause]
