Bethancourt's success is tremendous

Cubs are not where they are two games over 500 making a little bit of a push toward the playoffs without their bottom of the order really stepping it up as of late so let's talk about it Christian Beth cour and Miguel Amaya have been terrific in the nin spot in the Cubs order and we've talked about it at various points this season how bad the Cubs catchers are how they have the worst catchers in baseball back when it was Yan Gomes and Amaya and then the Cubs waved goms and the Cubs made Amaya take some adjustments and since then it's really been a lot better but let's just let the numbers talk for themselves Christian bethan court yesterday had seven RBI he's the seventh Cubs catcher to ever do that the first out of the nine spot in the order and in his 11 games since joining the Chicago Cubs he's batting 407 with 15 runs driven in in just 11 games as your number two starter that production is beyond what you'd expect
