Hudson with another excellent game.... I think he has a sub 3.00 ERA in his last ten games. In his last three games, his ERA is around. 0.65 with a WHIP under 0.95. His FB has been between 91-94mph, so that's on the uptick.

 

I was thinking Hudson would repeat Charlotte in 2019, but he's probably headed to Tennessee next year.

 

Rucker with a quality game, it's what he does.

Charlotte? I think you mean, Myrtle Beach.

 

You're a little off on your stats there, but he's definitely improved in July. Still the periphs are so bad with him. I've yet to see a pitcher succeed at the upper levels with such a low K% and high BB% in a pitcher's league like the CL. Reports that his already good curve ball is even better likely has led to him being tougher to hit this year. There are a lot of bats in High-A that struggle with a good curve. He's still young, and tall pitchers can be slower to develop so I'm not giving up on him, but I don't see all that much to be excited about with him at the moment.

 

If he can continue his July performance the rest of the season and improve his K:BB ratio, I'd like him a lot more...
