Blaze is starting to hit the ball in the air more while still not striking out too much and the results are turning around.

Blaze is starting to hit the ball in the air more while still not striking out too much and the results are turning around. Eh, are they? Struck out less last week but he's still not hitting for any power, even doubles power (understanding Carolina League suppresses slugging). Also not walking at all while his seven-game hitting streak that he extended to 8 today with a double was bolstered by a .391 BABIP. That said, Myrtle Beach, who they played last week, has one of the best pitching staffs in the league. |

That said, Myrtle Beach, who they played last week, has one of the best pitching staffs in the league. This feels a little nitpicky for a 19 year old in full season ball. I don't think anyone here doubts that the power will come around as long as he's making more consistent contact, so the fact that he is beginning to do that (in that extremely small sample but it's a step) would definitely count as "turning around" in my mind. |

That said, Myrtle Beach, who they played last week, has one of the best pitching staffs in the league. For May he is at:
7 flyball 9 line drive 1 infield fly 10 groundball
5 strikeout
I think the extra base hits will come if he keeps those ratios up. His groundball % in April was crazy high.

Mayer with a hit and a steal in his return
Wilkelman with no runs allowed in 3.1 but walked 4, hit a guy, and threw 2 wild pitches. Seems like he was all over the place

I'd like to see Jacob Webb do his thing in Greenville.
24 Ks in 12.2 IP. Walks have been an issue but he didn't walk any today.
Out of 10 appearances, there's only been one clunker.
He's on the older side of low-A, as well.
Free. Jabob. Webb.

Walter walks the leadoff hitter on 4 straight balls. Walter got absolutely torched. It was clear from the start that he didn’t have it tonight. On the four pitch walk to start the game, nothing was even close, which is definitely abnormal for him. |

Binelas has 5 steals on the year now. Meaningless, but interesting.

Nick Dingercut goes deep again. And struck out in his other 3 at bats. Mr. Two True Outcomes. |

Jacob Wallace with another clean inning.
If you take out his really bad outing on 4/29 he's: 11IP, 3H, 1ER, 6BB, 17K.
Needs to clean up the walks, but otherwise pretty good.

Downs and Casas have the same OPS now. Obvs I like the way Casas has gotten there more but it’s nice to see Downs having some success
Jake Thompson has had a couple good outings for Portland. I forgot about him.
Lugo hitting another dinger

Without his clunker on 4/27 (that was a bad week for Jacob W's), his line is 12 IP, 6 H, 1 ER, 6 BB, 24 K.
Spooky similar lines for the the two Jacob W's.
