CHICAGO – While the Chicago Cubs are struggling with injuries and playoff pressure, an unexpected name has emerged as a ray of light: Michael Busch. Not only is he playing consistently – he’s exploding.

According to official statistics from MLB, Michael Busch is one of the most impressive faces in June in the National League. He achieved:
BA: .304
HR: 6
RBI: 18
SLG: .565
OPS: .933

With those numbers, he was nominated in the NL Player of the Month group, competing directly with names like Shohei Ohtani and Bryce Harper.

When the Dodgers traded him to the Cubs, many people thought Busch would just be a rotation option. But since April, he has shown himself to be a rough diamond polished at the right time. With his ability to play both 1B and 2B, and his increasingly consistent hitting performance, Busch is becoming an indispensable strategic card for the Cubs.

“I don’t care who is called a superstar. I just know that every day I go to the field to fight for the Cubs,” – Busch shared after the most recent win.

With Jameson Taillon, Justin Steele and many key pitchers injured, the pressure is on the offense. And Busch has responded – not with words, but with accurate and fiery swings.

Coach Craig Counsell said:

“He doesn’t need the spotlight. But he earns it.”

Busch won’t be able to maintain an OPS near 1.000 forever, but with his daily maturity, the Cubs can expect him to continue to be an extension of Nico Hoerner, creating a solid center field. At a time when the Cubs are competing for the top spot in the NL Central, Busch is the stability needed amid the turmoil.
