The latest from Down the Drive: Check out Cincinnati Bearcats great Ian Happ, describing in great detail his most recent Spring Training homerun for the Chicago Cubs on his fantastic podcast, The Compound. Happ is having a strong spring for the North Side Nine, stroking out a.297 batting average in 37 at-bats. He is sporting a.422 on-base percentage so far this Spring. Wouldn’t that be a nice figure for him to maintain in the regular season.
