Cade Horton named finalist for prestigious MLB award
The Chicago Cubs fell short in their ultimate goal this season but there were still some positives to takeaway. One of the biggest positives is the development of pitcher Cade Horton.
The former No. 7 overall pick in the 2022 MLB Draft out of Oklahoma made his debut this season for the Cubs and put together a really good year. Horton dazzled from the start, becoming one of the Cubs’ top pitchers.
Although his season was cut short late due to a back issue, Horton made a good impression. Now, he’s up for a major award in the first year of his career.
Cade Horton a finalist for NL Rookie of the Year

The 24-year-old Horton was named one of three finalists for the NL Rookie of the Year Award, announced on Monday. He’s going up against Milwaukee’s Caleb Durbin and Atlanta’s Drake Baldwin for the award.
He was called up on May 10th, joining the Cubs rotation which was hit by injuries. The Cubs lost Justin Steele early in the season and then saw Shota Imanaga go on the IL later on in the year. But Horton remained a steady presence, putting together an impressive rookie campaign.

Horton finished his rookie campaign with an 11-4 record in 23 total games with 22 starts. He posted a 2.67 ERA and had 97 strikeouts, 33 walks and 95 total hits in 118 innings.
If Horton wins the award, he will be the first Cubs player to do so since Kris Bryant in 2015. Kerry Wood was the last pitcher to do so for the Cubs in 1998.
Geovany Soto (2008), Jerome Walton (1989), Ken Hubbs (1962) and Billy Williams (1961) also won Rookie of the Year for the Cubs.
The BBWAA Rookie of the Year winners are set to be announced on Monday, Nov. 10th on MLB Network. The broadcast will begin at 6 p.m. CT.
