Brooks Caple Named Midwest League Pitcher of the Month
South Bend Cubs right‑hander Brooks Caple has been named the Midwest League Pitcher of the Month for April. Caple compiled a 3‑1 record with a 2.89 ERA and amassed a team‑leading 24 strikeouts over 18.2 innings in the opening month of the season. The April honors follow Caple’s earlier recognition as the league’s Pitcher of the Week, highlighted by a career‑high nine strikeouts in a single game, along with a stretch of five perfect innings. Meanwhile, the Cubs have announced continuation of their home stand at Four Winds Field before a 12‑game road trip begins.
