Ben Brown Debuts New Sinker, Eyes Potential Rotation Spot

Cubs pitcher Ben Brown is drawing attention in Spring Training with the addition of a new sinker to his arsenal. Previously a two-pitch pitcher, Brown struggled with predictability, posting a 5.26 ERA as a starter and 4.79 as a reliever. Analysts suggest the sinker could unlock his number-two starter upside. While currently slated for the bullpen due to a crowded rotation, Brown remains a candidate for a starting role should injuries or performance issues arise among the current starters.
