Ian Happ has established himself as one of the premier left fielders in the MLB, earning a third-place ranking in this season's positional evaluations by MLB Network. Despite a year marked by overall team struggles for the Chicago Cubs, Happ's performance shone brightly, culminating in a 3.9 WAR and a career-high in RBIs with 86. He also matched his personal best with 25 home runs. Known for his exceptional discipline at the plate, Happ recorded a walk rate in the 94th percentile and is consistently found in the sweet spot of the zone, making him a valuable asset offensively.

Defensively, Happ's prowess is undeniable, having secured his third consecutive Gold Glove award as the best left fielder in the National League. His consistency over the past three seasons, where he is one of just twelve players with a 120 wRC+ and a minimum of 3.0 fWAR, has solidified his role as the Cubs' everyday left fielder. The Cubs are looking to build on this with recent acquisitions, positioning Happ as a key leader moving forward.
