The Chicago Cubs wanted to get outfielder Christopher Morel more at-bats and more work around the diamond to start the 2023 season, and through 10 games he has been having one of the best stretches of his career in Des Moines.
Morel, who made his big-league debut for the Cubs last season, was one of the last players sent down to the minor leagues at the conclusion of spring training, and that move is already paying dividends
in more ways than one.In 10 games in Iowa, Morel has already hit a pair of home runs and driven in nine RBI’s in 35 at-bats. He has also stolen a pair of bases, and has a total of eight extra-base hits.
