Episode Details

Ben Brown’s transformation from last year’s struggling swingman to this season’s Cubs’ ace is all thanks to a new two-seam fastball he developed with Clay Holmes. After years of relying on his four-seamer and knuckle curve—with little success—he’s now dominating with ground balls, higher velocity, and improved performance against lefties. The pitch’s unique grip and movement have given hitters a new look, making it harder to time and swing. Brown’s patience and collaboration paid off, turning him into the Cubs’ most valuable pitcher—and finally, the best version of himself.
