Hatches last 5 starts:

 

30.1 IP, .90 ERA, 28H, 33 K, 7 BB...

 

 

Yep...

[Donzo]

Not directly minor league related, but it shows how good the system has been:

 

Cubs 8 starting position players in order tonight: 27, 25, 25, 23, 22, 23, 24, 24.

 

Wow...

[davell]

Hatch is at 7 3 1 0 1 6, on 84 pitches.

[We Got The Whole 9]

Hatch with another shutdown start

[Donzo]

Buy him a ticket to Tennessee.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Yeah, Hatch is ready for AA.

I've seen this a few times on here but they aren't going to move a guy from the DSL to the AZL now. Promoting a non-American midseason to the US is incredibly rare across baseball for obvious reasons.

Yep, you gotta put the incoming draftees somewhere.

Hatch last six starts:

 

37 1/3 IP, 27 H, 3 ER, 8 BB, 39

 

Zero homers allowed and a 3.33 ERA in 70 1/3 innings.

[CubsWin]

Hatch's efficiency has been excellent his last 2 starts going 8 innings on 85 pitches and 7 innings on 84 tonight. He's induced 13 ground outs to 6 fly ball out and a combined 13 Ks over those same 2 starts.

 

His FB was really good tonight. Sat 94-95 with tailing action and pretty good command. He's apparently got a really good change up. Pelican's pitching coach Anderson Tavares said Hatch has the best CU he's seen in the Carolina League this season. The breaking ball looked average to me. Didn't fool a lot of guys with it. It was clear that he can get High-A hitters out with his FB. We'll see how he does in AA. It's likely he'll have to improve his breaking stuff at some point to continue this kind of success at the upper levels. Plenty of time for that to happen, though. Dude's only pitched in 14 professional games.

That's a 0.73 ERA... =D>

 

He's suppose to be mentally tough, so getting roughed up in AA shouldn't be an issue for him... Send him to Tennessee!
