At the end of last August, the Chicago Cubs called up one of their top pitching prospects, Jordan Wicks, to make his major league debut against the Pirates in Pittsburgh. It was an exciting moment for him and the Cubs, representing the beginning of what was to come. The Cubs have a lot of top-tier talent in their farm system. Wicks was one of the first to come up and show what he had.
Wicks took the mound on a beautiful Saturday evening at PNC Park, wearing the familiar road grey uniform.
