Haven't been paying that much attention, but looks like Tseng is just mowing people down. That's encouraging.

[sneakypower]

wow, did not realize Tseng was younger than Kohl Stewart

 

he's the youngest P in the MWL, and is 4th in FIP (behind a trio of guys 3 years older)

[ScrubMD]

Odds that Tseng ends the season as our top pitching prospect?

[Thrilho]

Tseng was pretty great today before he got chased by two doubles in the 6th. He let up a home run to the the first hitter he faced, then over the next 5 innings he surrendered two ground ball singles, walked nobody, struck out 5 and had a 9:2 GO/AO ratio.

Odds that Tseng ends the season as our top pitching prospect?

 

Definitely possible. But his stature as the best IFA pitching prospect last year dropped due to loss of velo late in the year. I'm cautiously optimistic though, because he won't be worked as hard by us as he was last year.

Iowa PPD since no one has said it yet.

I wish him the best in his career outside of baseball.

19.2 IP, 20K, 4BB. Gerardo Concepcion just may have a future as a reliever after all.

Well, [expletive]. I'd completely forgotten that he was a thing that existed. Looks like he's essentially age appropriate for A pitchers.

The God of Mono has taken pity on the Cubs.
