Justin Steele Aims for Another Stellar Season with the Cubs

After a breakout year, Cubs' pitcher Justin Steele sets his sights on replicating his success in the upcoming season.

  • Steele, who finished fifth in the National League Cy Young Award voting last year, is focused on achieving personal goals, including surpassing 180 innings pitched.
  • Cubs manager Craig Counsell highlights the importance of adaptability and adjusting to the league's response to Steele's unique pitching style.
  • Steele's performance against the Milwaukee Brewers last season, allowing only three runs over 18 innings, underscores his effectiveness.
  • In his spring training debut, Steele pitched three innings, allowing two runs and demonstrating a mix of pitches including sinkers and changeups.
  • The Cubs are also exploring positional adjustments, with Michael Busch getting practice reps exclusively at first base during spring training.
