## Resource

Michael Busch may not be lighting up the stats this season, but he’s quietly heating up at the perfect time for the Chicago Cubs’ Wild Card push. After a down year in slugging, he’s now crushing it in his last 26 at-bats — hitting .300 with solid OBP and SLG, driving in runs, drawing walks, and even stealing bases. His plate discipline has improved, especially against lefties, and he’s remained deadly with runners in scoring position. With the Cubs leading the NL Wild Card race and the competition closing fast, Busch’s resurgence could be the spark they need to make noise in October.
