Barring something crazy happening, Jake Arrieta won't be pitching for the Iowa Cubs this year. His trademark beard, however, will be making an appearance in Des Moines.

The Chicago Cubs' Triple-A affiliate is holding a "Jake Arrieta Beard Beanie Giveaway" on April 25. To promote the event, members of the Iowa outfit took turns disguising themselves as the reigning National League Cy Young winner.

As should be expected, the award for best Arrieta impersonation goes to Munenori Kawasaki.
