Ian Happ saved the Chicago Cubs' season with a clutch game-tying homer, but Nico Hoerner may have propelled this team to the playoffs with this solo home run to lead off the sixth inning. Take a look:

I know the loss of Javier Baez is huge, but with the way Hoerner is playing, the Cubs found themselves a middle infielder of the future. In just 13 games he already has three home runs, all of them seemingly clutch, and 12 RBI.

Are we looking at a future postseason hero if the Cubs pull it off and make the playoffs?
