Ben Brown impresses as Cubs right-hander develops new pitching arsenal

Ben Brown has shown significant improvement in his performance for the Chicago Cubs. After a challenging 2025 season with a 5.92 ERA, Brown developed a two-seam fastball during the offseason, which has enhanced his pitching effectiveness. This season, he has not allowed a home run in 57 innings pitched and maintains a lower walk rate. The changes in his pitch mix have contributed to his stronger command on the mound. Brown's success is a positive development for the Cubs as they look to bolster their starting rotation.
