Cubs infielder Mike Olt has put himself in position to grab a spot on the team's opening day roster, and potentially a spot in the starting lineup thanks to a strong showing this spring. Manager Rick Renteria has been impressed with Olt, who is batting .273 (12 for 44) with five home runs and 10 RBI in 15 spring games.
"He's really seeing the ball well," Renteria told reporters Tuesday. "He's obviously putting a charge into the baseball. And he's looked like the guy from the offensive side that everyone expected to see a few years ago."
