Does anyone know if MIlB is planning on using the same baseball in AA that were used last year? 

They stopped the pretacked ball experiment after the first half of last season

Another solid start by Wantz! 

Also, Crouse might be another BP arm to keep an eye on. he was once a big time prospect!

Wantz in 6 innings, 11 K, 1BB, 2 H, 1ER

Ok I was admittedly not a fan of turning Wantz and Soriano into starters (or back into). 

It is possible I was mistaken and the baseball people were right.

The org seems to be really high on Sam Brown.

Didn’t play any games after getting drafted last year, got a fair number of games in Spring Training, and now is in AA hitting cleanup.

Kinda reminds me of Tucker Flint, but even he played some A ball the season prior.

Mederos got smashed but Brett Kerry was nasty. 

Rada was 0-4 but had a walk and an RBI. 

[Stradling]

So we have a Brett Kerry and a Barrett Kent.  That won’t be confusing.

Easy Peasy.

Which will work fine on days they do that tandem pitching thingy.

Hearing a lot of buzz about this Castillo kid. 

 

[Angel Oracle]

.371/.478/.548/1.026 with 23 for 32 SBs for Castillo in age 17/18 season in DSL

Similar type prospect to Rada?

I've already seen one person make the comparison, I'm sure others will follow suit. But Logan Britt's (17th round 2023), windup/delivery follow through looks almost identical to Gerrit Cole's.  He was a two way guy in college that the Angels are having pitch exclusively.  Dude is raw AF and was lit up last year but scouts outside the organization are saying he was turning heads stuff wise.

May be an interesting guy to follow as he develops.

That kind of performance leaves you Wantzing more.

It’s possible it’s a mistake, but MiLB.tv lists Tri-City as having a video broadcast at home now.
