Cubs' Ian Happ Dubbed 'Mr. Consistent' Ahead of Free Agency

Cubs outfielder Ian Happ has earned the moniker 'Mr. Consistent' for his remarkably steady performance from 2022-2025. He's played 619 games since 2022, with only one 9-game IL stint in May 2025. Over this period, his OPS+ ranged from 117-120 and bWAR from 3.5-4.3, making him one of the most consistent regulars in MLB. Happ, tied for 37th in OPS+ and 32nd in bWAR among qualified players since 2022, enters his final contract year in 2026 as a pending free agent, with his future in Chicago uncertain without an extension.
