Cubs News: David Ross gives scouting report on Kyle Hendricks


Tony Crumpton Tony Crumpton - Senior Editor -

ESPN's Baseball Tonight analysts including David Ross discussed Tuesday night's important NLCS playoff game between the Dodgers and Cubs.

Ross during the segment talked about starting pitcher Kyle Hendricks who is slated to take the mound tonight for the Cubs.

"Yeah, he's a lot of fun to catch," Ross said. "This guy has pinpoint control, and he throws out of the same window every pitch. He's got a two-seamer, a changeup that he can throw. He can cut it or sink it. This guy -- same window. They all look the same. Different speeds, different actions."

Hendricks had an impressive 3.03 ERA this season. During the postseason so far, he pitched 11 innings giving up 11 hits, four runs, four walks, 13 strikeouts and 1-0 record.

In case you were wondering, Hendricks will be pitching on normal rest.
