Kyle Schwarber might be injured, but the Cubs have found a way to use his surprising talents as the playoffs loom.
The velvety-voiced Schwarber narrates a 30-second "Fly the W" video.
"This is the fabric that brings an entire nation together," the video begins, as is shows fans displaying the W flag. "It says to the world, we will never lose faith. We believe in this team."
Near the end, Schwaber is revealed as the narrator.
He says: "Maybe this October, if we fly it high enough and loud enough and proud enough. Well, you get the idea."
Schwarber was injured April 7 when he collided with center fielder Dexter Fowler on a drive hit by the Diamondbacks' Jean Segura. He is out for the season, but remains with the team.
Thanks to the Giants beating the Cardinals late Thursday night, the Cubs clinched the National League's Central division.
The Cubs start the playoffs at Wrigley Field on Oct. 7 in the National League Division Series against the winner of the Oct. 5 NL wild-card game.
