For the first time since he became a big leaguer, Patrick Wisdom isn’t facing any questions about making the team. Nothing like that at all.
"The cat-and-mouse game, right?" Wisdom said Monday. "It’s a chess match."While the Cubs stumbled to a 71-91 record last year, they had two pleasant surprises in Wisdom and first baseman Frank Schwindel. Wisdom set a single-season franchise record for rookies with 28 homers, topping Kris Bryant’s 26 in 2015, and Schwindel batted .342 in 56 games.
Happ said he thinks Wisdom, 30, and Schwindel, 29, will be able to build on their success, because of their experience level and their personalities.Wisdom was selected by St. Louis with the No. 52 pick in the 2012 amateur draft. The third baseman made his big league debut with the Cardinals in 2018, but he was traded to Texas that December.
"They don’t care if you got two homers or two strikeouts. They don’t really care. They want you to be dad," Wisdom said. "Which is a good reminder, too. It’s good to put things into perspective and see what really matters." The Cubs claimed Schwindel off waivers from Oakland last summer and added him to their big league roster on July 30. He then recorded at least one hit in 15 of his first 17 games with his new team.
