And Mos knows how to get me on the right track. Oh, him and the assistant were butting heads, he never really got help.’ I know how to talk to Mos. You don’t think about it like, ‘Oh, him and the pitching coach got into it. “You wonder why some guys go to places and they don’t work out. “Tommy’s really easy to talk to,” Wesneski said. #NextStartsHere #Chicago #Cubs /0oE8dV0jVv
The filing, made on April 20th, indicates an intent to launch a "WEZNASTY"-brand of clothing. Cubs pitching coach Tommy Hottovy is also very personable and adaptable to different personalities.Ĭhicago Cubs pitcher Hayden Wesneski has filed a trademark application for: In addition to Moskos, the Cubs hired Kevin Poppe - who has worked with Wesneski for years at Dynamic Sports Training in Texas - as a strength and conditioning pitching specialist to act as a liaison between those groups on the major- and minor-league sides. To speed up the transition, it helped that the Cubs were already fluent in “WEZNASTY,” which is the trademark application that he recently filed for a potential clothing line. You definitely want the guys who think they’re not as good as they are rather than the ones who think they’re better than they are.” “And it’s like, ‘Are you kidding me? What is the standard you’re holding yourself to?’ But it’s good because you always feel like there’s something to work on. “He’ll just throw an amazing bullpen and he’ll be like, ‘Ah, it sucked,’” Moskos said. Upon hearing that, veteran catcher Yan Gomes suggested that at the highest level it’s important to “give yourself some grace” and “take the positive of every outing.” It’s an aspect Wesneski is still learning to balance. After a recent strong start in Oakland, Wesneski picked apart what he did wrong. Wesneski, 25, is so diligent in his work and obsessed with improvement that he can often come across as hypercritical of himself. In joining the Cubs, Wesneski found another organization with a tech-savvy approach, a focus on process rather than results, and a familiarity with some of his, uh, quirks. “Shoot, he might burst through the ceiling I had initially put on him,” Moskos said. If you were to try and put together the personality of a young pitcher that is on a path towards success, those are attributes that you would look over, and those were the attributes that Moskos endorsed quite heavily.” But moreover, what stood out was the quality of the worker, the diligence, the aptitude, the curiosity. “The pitch data and performance is readily available to everyone,” Breslow said, “so it’s getting more difficult to glean a ton of insights from that, though I do think we have a unique way of looking at those things. But with Moskos’ input, they trusted in the person they were getting, as well. So they trusted they’d be getting a good pitcher in Wesneski, believing he wouldn’t need to make drastic changes. The Yankees revamped their pitching development programs just a little before the Cubs took that step after the 2019 season, a process spearheaded by Breslow, the ex-major-league pitcher and a Yale graduate who’s now the organization’s assistant general manager/senior vice president of pitching.īreslow and many within the Cubs’ front office are fans of what the Yankees do, which is part of the reason why Moskos was pursued.
On the day before last year’s trade deadline, the Yankees packaged Waldichuk in a deal with the A’s for Frankie Montas and Lou Trivino, and exchanged Wesneski for sidearm reliever Scott Effross. In scouting terms, Moskos believed that Waldichuk had a higher ceiling while Wesneski had a higher floor. Moskos, 37, has the perspective of a 2007 first-round pick who briefly pitched in the majors as a left-handed reliever before getting in front of some of the pitching trends running through the game.
