The biggest hit in Christopher Morel’s young career embodied the late-inning comeback fight the Chicago Cubs have often manifested.
One thought flitted through Morel’s mind during his mad dash around the bases: “I hit a home run — Cubs win!”
“I couldn’t believe what I was watching in front of me,” Hoerner said, “but for anyone that knows him well, it was all really genuine. ... Couldn’t have written it any better.” “Just try to make the moment just about me,” Morel said through an interpreter. “Just think about what I’m doing in that moment. Don’t think about anything else, focus in the moment and focus on myself.”
“It’s the same guy at the heart of it with his energy and electricity,” Hoerner told the Tribune. “It’s amazing how far he’s come and how much it seems like the big moments almost calm him down in some ways — and then he explodes of course. But his ability to swing and miss or chase and then move on to the next pitch, that speaks to where he’s at mentally. He’s been a huge part of our success.
