[CubsWin]

Miguel Amaya had really been struggling throwing base stealers out earlier in the year, only trowing out 4 of 35 attempted steals (11.4%).

 

According to the South Bend broadcast, a catching instructor (Tim Cousins?) came thru and worked with Amaya (and I assume the other catchers) recently. They didn't say exactly when. But they did say that since then he's been lights out. Well, since the game on May 18th, Amaya has thrown out 7 of 11 (64%). I'd say he improved a bit...

Make that 8 out of 12 would be base stealers. Amaya just threw out another one.
