Because of the shortened spring training, Justin Steele and the rest of the Cubs’ pitchers are probably two weeks behind where they’d normally be. On Saturday, it was hard to tell with Steele, who threw five scoreless innings in his first start of 2022.
“It felt really good,” Steele said. “My four-seam [fastball] and my slider, coming into this outing, I really wanted to have honed, and I just felt really good as far as execution with my pitches.”
