This rumor has spread rapidly across fan forums, social media, and MLB internal circles, sparking excitement within the Cubs Nation community for a meaningful return. Not as a player, but with his intellect, experience, and love for the team that made his name.

Kyle Hendricks, dubbed the “Professor” for his exceptional ball-analyzing and situational awareness, is one of the most consistent and intelligent pitchers of the current era. Throughout his career with the Cubs, he has helped the team achieve countless milestones: the 2016 World Series, multiple playoff appearances, and dozens of crucial games requiring supreme control.

But more than the statistics, Hendricks embodies a quintessential Chicago style of play: patience, strategy, and composure under pressure. And now, many believe that style will be showcased not only on the court—but also through his role in mentoring the young pitchers.

Sources reportedly within MLB reveal that the Cubs have shortlisted Hendricks as a potential assistant pitching coach for the 2026 season, with the possibility of him joining the team for Spring Training. Staff within the organization believe Hendricks possesses the communication skills and experience to significantly influence young pitchers, particularly in subtle situations like adjusting their mentality, reading the batter, and selecting pitching strategies.

Another source revealed that Hendricks has had initial discussions with the Cubs’ coaching staff about the possibility of taking on this role — a clearer indication than ever that his return is no longer just speculation.

This leak immediately generated a wave of reactions on forums like Reddit and Twitter:

“If Hendricks returns to Wrigley as a coach, that would be the most powerful impetus in the world for the Cubs next season!”

“I’m increasingly seeing the Cubs building their team with heart, not just money.”

“The Professor isn’t just a good pitcher — he thinks of baseball as an art.”

For many longtime fans, Hendricks’ return is more of a form of psychological therapy than a typical signing. It’s a familiar sight, like hearing the applause again when a legend walks onto the court.

The Cubs are undergoing a restructuring. After seasons battling fiercely in the NL Central and MLB, the team clearly needs a clearer tactical direction — especially in the pitching staff. Despite having quality shooters, the lack of a “mound commander” with playoff experience and deep understanding forces them to seek ways to increase depth.

Hendricks is a rare example the Cubs possess:
Effective in big games.
Intuitive situational awareness.
Sharp tactical thinking.
Enviable composure.
