Pitching Prospects
Jhancarlos Lara: 2.2IP, 1H, 1ER, 5BB, 5K
Trent Buchanan: 0.1IP, 2H, 3ER, 2BB, 0K
Jacob Kroeger: 2IP, 0H, 0ER, 0BB, 5K

Cory Wall: 0.1IP, 0H, 3ER, 3BB, 3K
The story of last week was the pure domination showcased by Luke Sinnard who appeared in a pair of games and was sensational – striking out 6 over a combined 5 innings pitched. He combines a 2600 RPM fastball mid-90s fastball, with a 700 RPM splitter that comes in around 83 MPH totaling nearly 12 MPH of separation, along with a strong slider. He, Jacob Kroeger, and L.J. McDonough all had very successful weeks, while Trent Buchanan and Cory Wall struggled in their stints. Jhancarlos Lara appeared in a pair of outings as well, with his fastball still sitting in the upper-90s, touching 101.
