MESA, Ariz. — Carson Kelly paused before analyzing what he could do to replicate his sensational first half in 2025.
“Look back at video and see what you did,” Kelly replied. “There were some ups and downs like every year. But this offseason, just evaluated where did it go wrong a little bit, how can we prevent doing down that downward spiral.”
Manager Craig Counsell likes the quality and depth of the Cubs’ catching. Kelly hit 12 home runs, drove in 33, posted a .376 on-base percentage and .899 OPS in the first half.
