Expert Note
View More NotesCade Horton broke through in 2025 with a 2.67 ERA and 1.09 WHIP across 118 innings, finishing second in NL Rookie of the Year voting after posting a 144 ERA+. His underlying profile was strong but not overpowering, as his 3.58 FIP and 7.4 K/9 suggest more command-and-contact management than bat-missing dominance. The 2026 projections push him closer to the mid-3.00s in ERA with a modest bump in workload, which frames Horton as a high-floor SP3/SP4. Without elite strikeout volume, his value will hinge on efficiency, wins, and ratio stability in a competitive Cubs rotation. Draft him as a steady innings stabilizer, but avoid paying for a repeat sub-2.75 ERA unless there's tangible growth in swing-and-miss.
