Codi Heuer is someone to keep an eye on. He had put up some good numbers over a short stint in the big leagues before needing Tommy John. This is from an article in MLB.com last May.

The Cubs acquired Heuer from the White Sox as part of the Craig Kimbrel trade during the 2021 season. The righty fashioned a 1.52 ERA in 21 games in ’20 while averaging 97.6 mph on his fastball. In ’21, Heuer had a 4.28 ERA in 65 games between both Chicago clubs but saw his velocity fade as the season progressed.

Heuer averaged 97.3 mph in April of 2021, but that rate dropped to 94.8 mph by September. In spring of ’22, the right-hander underwent surgery and lost a full season to recovery, rehab and training.

Since starting his Minor League rehab, Heuer looks more and more like himself again. Over eight games with Triple-A Iowa, he has hovered around 97 mph with his fastball, reaching back and touching 99 mph a handful of times.

“The stuff’s there,” Ross said. “But he wants to be able to command it. I think that’s probably the next step.”

I sure picked the wrong guy to spotlight today.
