VIDEO: Craig Kimbrel's First Inning With Cubs in Triple-A Was Completely Dominant

Who knew that a guy with more saves than hits allowed would be difficult for Triple-A batters to hit?

In order to shake off the rust that accrued after he lasted until early June before signing with a team, Chicago Cubs closer Craig Kimbrel is getting back into the swing of things for the Triple-A Iowa Cubs. In a scoreless inning against the Sacramento River Cats, Kimbrel was his trademark unhittable self.

Kimbrel threw eight pitches, recording a flyout, groundout and strikeout. For not having pitched a competitive game in eight months, that's not too shabby.

Kimbrel was said to be touching 95 on the gun with his heater. While it's a far cry from the triple-digit fastball he showed off last year, he remains just as unhittable as he was last season, even if he's only two-thirds of the way back to his old self.

Once Kimbrel gets back up to the 98 MPH range, expect a call up. Given how shambolic and patchwork the Cubs bullpen has been this season, expect it to come sooner rather than later.
