Matt Wallace takes a look at BA’s best tool rankings for A Ball and waxes optimistic about the Tigers 2B options at the lower levels.
Also, the other day, Edward Reynoso for the DSL Tigers thre 6 innings of no hit ball with 9 K’s vs. 1 BB. I think 18 is the normal age for that league and even though he’s repeating it, his numbers are exciting. Hate that small build, though.
