Obviously not from today:

promising catcher willson contreras hit a dong for iowa.

[TruffleShuffle]

yohendrick pinango has a hit and a walk in two plate appearances. he's really held his own (.280/.333/.380/.714) as an 18/19 year old in full season ball, especially after no baseball last year and only one half-year of professional baseball in the DSL.

[muntjack]

If Pinango ends anywhere near the >1.000 OPS since his promotion to South Bend, I'd love to see him start 2022 in Tennessee.

[TruffleShuffle]

dongs for preciado (#3) and ngowu (#9).
