Chicago Cubs: Cade Horton gets top 25 ranking for players under age 25
The Chicago Cubs are still figuring out just which pitchers will make up their bullpen and starting rotation in 2026. Indeed, if they are to take the next step and compete for a World Series, they have to ensure that they get these decisions right. Fortunately for Chicago, it appears that they have their next long-time ace already on staff.
In 2025, Cade Horton made his Major League debut. He turned out to be one of the most exciting young pitchers in the game and, if he can repeat the success in 2026, should lead the Cubs rotation for years to come.
Just 24 years old, Horton has a bright future ahead of him. Already, he has made a list of the best Major League players under the age of 25.

In a recent article in which he ranked the 25 best players under the age of 25, Joel Reuter of Bleacher Report had Horton slotted in at number 13:
“With a 1.03 ERA and 0.78 WHIP in 61.1 innings, Cade Horton threw the ball as well as any pitcher in baseball after the All-Star break last year. Unfortunately, his season came to a premature end when he suffered a fractured rib in September and he was unavailable for the Cubs playoff run. Now he is poised to solidify his status as the ace of the staff in 2026.”
Overall in 2025, as a rookie, Horton was 11-4 with a 2.67 ERA in 23 games (22 starts). He struck out 97 batters in 118.0 innings.
His accomplishments led to a second-place finish for National League Rookie of the Year.
If he is able to repeat the success he enjoyed in the Majors in 2026, there is little doubt that he will make his first NL All-Star team and perhaps even receive some Cy Young votes.
