Pitchers are set to report February 11th and going into the 2026 Campaign the Cubs strength appears to be their starting pitching. Coming off Last Season Playoff appearance and winning 92 games the Cubs came up short against the Brewers in the NLCS losing in five games. The Focus was to improve the starting rotation and build assets in the pull ben. So, in this article we will look at the projected Cubs started pitching. Leading off is Mathew Boyd he went 14 and 8 and made an all-star game appearance. Boyd is a savvy old veteran who uses a mix of off-speed pitches and focuses on the strike zone to get hitters out. He needs to repeat last season’s performance if the Cubs are going to make run at going further into the playoffs. The second pitcher in the Bubs rotation will be Cade Horton, a young power pitcher who went 11 and 4 in his Rookie season but was lost to injury for the final month of the season and the playoffs. Next up is newly acquired Edard Cabera a power pitcher who has had trouble staying healthy of Cabera can stay heathy for this season than anything he brings to the table will only add to more wins and better positioning for late innings for our bull pen.
Cubs resigned Shota Immagnga for another season. Shota needs to keep his fast ball lower and concentrate on improving on last season’s 11 and 8 record and his poor performance in the playoffs. Shota has proven when focused can ass much needed innings to the Club and help them to position themselves in key needed games. The Fifth Starter will be reliable veteran Jameson Tallieon he brings stability and a stop gap proving his worth with close games. Cubs will also have in reserve Colin Rea and Justin Steele who is expected to return by mid-May. With pitchers and catchers reporting February 11th we will kick off spring training and gage the progress of this years Cubs Team.
