JACK WENNINGER IN COLLEGE
Just a few brief thoughts on special stuff in last night’s minors action.
Nolan McLean in High A whirled a gem:
5 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 6Ks. Looks for real on the mound. Hits missiles, too.
Catcher Drake Osborn has been a light hitting catcher. Up about 30 times for Brooklyn so far, .454/.581/.708, which is amazing.
Jack Wenninger, 6th rounder for St Lucie (pictured above), was smoking last night.
6 innings, 1 hit, no BB, 10K. Last 3 outings, 14 innings, 25 Ks, 6 hits, 2 walks, 2 runs.
Wow, huh?
Nick the Very Quick Morabito had 3 hits against tough pitching, Up to .365. Get him the heck to Brooklyn.
And 1B Chris Suero had all 4 RBIs in the win.
Chris Scott went 6 innings for Syracuse, 1 hit allowed (HR), and 8 Ks. We got a winner.
Big Boy Choi woke up with 2 HRs.
JD Martinez was 1 for 4. In Syracuse. See you Friday.
Luke Ritter 5th HR in 51 ABs, hitting .275.
Mets? They lose 3rd straight without Alvarez. Hitting has ceased.
Christian Scott has really been on a roll. I'm looking forward to seeing him at the next level.
ReplyDeletePaul, I do not think they will rush him. My guess is still end of June or July, but hey, you never know.
ReplyDeleteWenninger had a Matt Harvey 2013 killer line. Granted it was against an FSL team. But, one more killer start and I promote him to Bklyn.
ReplyDeleteJust threw this out there as a mini article. Seems there is little interesting such so that is that.
ReplyDeleteAny updates on Megill? Last week he was throwing off a mound and expected to begin a rehab stint "soon".
ReplyDeleteBill, that is a very good question. Hopefully by this weekend, in Florida warmth.
ReplyDeleteUpdate yesterday on Megill: He refrained from throwing for about a week then began ramping up again, throwing his first bullpen session on April 19. He graduated to an "up-down" multi-inning assignment four days later, which is typically the final step before facing hitters.
ReplyDeleteSo to me he sounds2-3 weeks away.
A week ago, I read that he's expected to make 3 rehab starts before recall, then will be checked again before the decision.
