April 21--Jake Arrieta advanced his career in 2015 with a 22-6 record and was rewarded with the National League Cy Young Award.
But Arrieta is involved in another mission. The Chicago Cubs ace, who will try to improve to 4-0 Thursday night when he faces the Cincinnati Reds at Great American Ballpark, is involved in the "Step Up Your Game" campaign by Mizzen+Main.
Arrieta is featured on a recently released video.
"The first time I put the shirt on I knew that this was something I wanted to wear for the rest of my adult life," Arrieta said on the company's website. "Something that was tailored to athletes. Something that allows you to move around and be mobile."
Arrieta joins Houston Texans All-Pro defensive end J.J. Watt in endorsing the men's clothing company.
