Cade Horton was named the league’s pitcher of the month by Triple-A Iowa pitching coach Tony Cougoule .

Horton was at Citi Field on Friday as part of the taxi squad and will be added to the roster Saturday .

Horton will wear No. 22 , which notably once was donned by another standout right-hander the Cubs selected in the first round.

The Cubs challenged Horton to locate his slider and curveball in the strike zone early in counts.

Horton ’s elite stuff can generate chase and whiff even when he doesn’t have his best command.

Horton: “It’s really helped me cut down walks and get soft contact.”.
