Cubs rookie Hayden Wesneksi trimmed down his pregame routine Thursday, before facing the Padres in the series finale. It was something he’d been working on with the team’s pitching coaches. But he’d also sought advice from rotation mate Marcus Stroman.
“I lean on Stro a little bit with certain things,” Wesneski said. “Because me and him are similar pitchers, we do similar things. And he’s been there done that. He’s thrown a lot of innings, he’s eaten up innings. And some of the advice he’s told me is, throw a little bit less. [pregame].”
