4/25/25 | How bottom of order is powering Cubs' offense to top of MLB. Carson Kelly needed a moment to take in what he was hearing last Friday. Batting eighth in the lineup, the Chicago Cubs catcher had already hit two home runs and driven in five in what would end up as a wild 13-11 comeback win over the Arizona Diamondbacks. "I had to take a step out," Kelly told ESPN with a smile the next day. Chants directed toward a catcher at the bottom of the order aren't commonplace in MLB -- but then again, neither is the month the Cubs catcher is having nor the production the team is getting from the bottom of the lineup.
