Summary
The Cubs are taking a bold gamble on Yosver Zulueta, a former top prospect with a fastball that cracks 98-99 mph, hoping their pitching lab can turn his raw stuff into consistent dominance. Despite control issues and limited MLB success, his minor league strikeout prowess and Futures Game pedigree make him a high-reward risk. Sent to Triple-A Iowa to refine his mechanics, Zulueta’s potential could pay off big — if he can harness that electric arm and become a reliable reliever.
