Lillard’s Rise From Batting Practice to Cub Pitcher
Gene Lillard, once a Cubs third baseman and home run king in the Pacific Coast League, blossoms as a pitcher. He impressed by beating the Pirates in his big league debut, then honed his craft in San Francisco and Los Angeles, winning 14 and 16 games respectively, while also contributing power at the plate. His switch to pitching did not erase his batting prowess as he homered in key games and repeatedly shut out opponents like Oakland and Sacramento.
