Solidifying the infield defense is important behind a pitching staff that projects to rely on ground-ball outs for success, particularly Kyle Hendricks, Marcus Stroman and Wade Miley. Stroman had the 11th-highest ground-ball rate (50.8%) among 68 major-league pitchers with at least 100 innings in 2021, while Miley ranked 13th (49.4%) and Hendricks 32nd (43.1%). The Cubs were roughly at the league average in advanced defensive metrics last season.
