The Professor is back in session.

Veteran pitcher Kyle Hendricks is back for another go with the Cubs as a member from the 2016 title team.

“It’s amazing,” Hendricks told reporters on Thursday. “There’s no other place I want to be. It's the best organization in the whole league, the best fans in the whole league by far, and just these guys, you know, it’s family. I’ve been around these guys for so long; the staff and everything are just so comfortable here.

Hendricks can't wait to pitch at historic Wrigley Field this season.

"So grateful and thankful to be back for another year. To get back to Wrigley Field again and soak in all those memories and moments, I can't ask for anything more.”

Hendricks had a 6-8 record with a 3.74 ERA with 93 strikeouts and 1.20 WHIP last season.

“So thankful for just how everything has worked out, how the offseason’s gone, and just excited to attack this season,” Hendricks said. “I think we’re so excited with where we’re at right now and the promise of this year for us and what it could mean in October.”
