The Cubs' Surprising Offensive Surge: Powered by the Bottom of the Order

The Cubs' bottom of the order is driving their offense to new heights in MLB.

The Chicago Cubs have been on a remarkable offensive tear in the 2025 MLB season. A major factor behind this success is the unexpected production from the bottom of their batting order. Players like Carson Kelly, Pete Crow-Armstrong, and Miguel Amaya have been smashing home runs and driving in runs, transforming the team's offense into one of the best in the league. Despite some challenges at third base and a slow start for shortstop Dansby Swanson, the Cubs are off to a strong start and leading the run-scoring leaderboards. The bottom of the order has taken center stage and is making a significant impact on the team's success.
