Michael Busch embracing athleticism at first base for Chicago Cubs


First base is not an entirely new position for 26-year-old , who was acquired by the Chicago Cubs via trade from the Dodgers on Jan. 11. He played at that spot for the bulk of his collegiate career at the University of North Carolina, but Los Angeles sent Busch down on a different path after taking him in the first round of the 2019 MLB Draft.
