Sportsman of the Week Ending 4/19/2026
Spring sports is peak, with summer sports starting (baseball, golf), winter sports entering playoffs (hockey, basketball), and college sports reaching end of academic year. It's baseball we go to this week. The Chicago Cubs loaded up for a pennant run in 2026 but stumbled out of the block going 7-9 but are now on a 5-game winning streak a lot due to our Sportsman of the Week. Infielder Nico Hoerner poured it on this week leading the Cubs to a 5-1 record and a sweep of the Rival New York Mets and taking 2 of 3 from the Phillies. On Sunday, he had the walk off Sac Fly RBI. For the recent 5-game winning streak, Hoerner went 9-23, 2 HR, 11 RBI leading the team to 10+ runs 3 of the games. The Cubs are going to contenders, and if they can get a career year from the 28-year-old Hoerner, maybe a deep playoff run. Nico Hoerner is the Longhorndave Sportsman of the Week!
