Chicago Cubs: Nico Hoerner is on pace for an historic season in franchise history
The Chicago Cubs are 17-10 following their 12-4 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday night. The loss snapped an 11-game win streak, one that saw the Cubs climb out of last place in the National League Central Division all the way up to second. They now sit just one game behind the Cincinnati Reds for first.
Even when the Cubs were struggling, second baseman Nico Hoerner was a bright spot on their team. He has always been a stout defender, as evident by his two Gold Gloves. However, he is also emerging as a run producer, something that he has not been yet in his eight-year career.
Chicago Cubs second baseman Nico Hoerner is on pace for 138 RBI
So far this season, Hoerner is hitting .309/.381/.482 with four home runs, 23 RBI, and seven stolen bases. Hoerner has played in all 27 games this year, meaning that he is on pace for 138 RBI. If he is able to keep up this pace of driving in runs, Hoerner will end up with the ninth-most RBI in a single season in franchise history.
The current top-10 single season RBI totals in franchise history are currently:
- Hack Wilson- 191 (1930)
- Sammy Sosa- 160 (2001)
- Hack Wilson- 159 (1929)
- Sammy Sosa- 158 (1998)
- Rogers Hornsby- 149 (1929)
- Cap Anson- 147 (1886)
- Ernie Banks- 143 (1959)
- Sammy Sosa- 141 (1999)
- Sammy Sosa- 138 (2000)
- Andre Dawson- 137 (1987)
Hoerner’s career-high in RBI is 68, which he had in 2023. Last year, he had 61 while hitting .297/.345/.394. Of course, he has never been much of a power hitter, but already has four on the season. His career high is 10, which he had in 2022.
This development of becoming a run producer is a welcomed one in Chicago, though Hoerner was always an effective hitter. He has a career slash line of .283/.341/.388 with 40 home runs and 301 RBI to go with 394 career runs scored.
