The Chicago Cubs‘ season didn’t have a storybook ending, as they were sent home by their divisional rivals, the Milwaukee Brewers, in the NLDS. However, there were plenty of good things for the organization to get excited about moving forward.
And two players who had exceptional postseasons have landed on MLB writer Theo DeRosa’s top-20 playoff performers list.
The first player who might come to mind and who you might expect to be listed here is designated hitter Seiya Suzuki, but it wasn’t him. Instead, it was a couple of infielders who just made their postseason debuts: Michael Busch and Nico Hoerner.
