While the Cubs' hitters may not have put on a big show, a pair of Cubs arms certainly did, and that all started with the starter, Koen Moreno. For the most part, Moreno has been dialed in this season, but it was one rough outing that makes his ERA look far worse than it really was. Today was more of the same for Moreno, who gave the Solar Sox three innings of one-run baseball, walking one and striking out four to keep his strong Fall going.

Koen Moreno, on the other hand, has been impressive, and his excellent start to the season continued with another strong multi-inning effort. After going four scoreless innings in his first time out, Moreno was at it again and was the main reason why things were so close most of the night. ..... Moreno also didn't allow a run in his outing, as he has now gone seven innings without allowing a run this Fall and has emerged as the best pitching prospect from the Cubs system in Arizona.

That included starting pitcher Koen Moreno, who made quite a first impression in his first outing. ..... Then came the injuries as Moreno went from a top-30 prospect early in his career to being pushed off the radar altogether. ..... Even if his start does count for anything on Wednesday, Moreno certainly looked good in his first outing of the fall as the right-hander twirled four scoreless innings in his debut.

Thomas Mangus, Matthew Peters, and Koen Moreno round out the field of Cubs players heading to Mesa as all three are looking to take the next steps in their development. Moreno is the longest-tenured player in this group, drafted in the fifth round of the COVID-shortened 2020 draft.

This was a much different-looking game early on as Koen Moreno came out dealing, allowing one run in three innings to go with four strikeouts.
