In the Quad Cities for my youngest sons baseball tournament, was temporarily stoked until I double checked the schedule. Oh well will have to settle for for watching what is called a major league team Monday and Tuesday

Canario up to .240/.315/.520 at AA. And the BB/K numbers are improving rapidly including 14 BB and 11 Ks here in July

Little went 4, his longest. But still threw only 45 pitches, per box. I believe his previous 3-inning outing, he only used like 36 pitches per box. Little being the model of pitch-count efficiency is not something I had anticipated! :). Will be interested to see if he ends up getting some 60-pitch-count games as the last weeks play out. I'm interested to see how his control looks down the stretch. Perhaps if he's semi-frequently stacking good-control and good-pitch-count-efficiency games, I wonder if there's any chance that he might cause them to reconsider a future in rotation? He still hasn't allowed a HR, a quality that might be especially appealing in a rotation guy.

Following up now that FG is updated. Canario at AA by month

 

May - .199/.233/.415, 3.5% BB, 34.9% K, 62 wRC+

June - .228/.284/.489, 7.8% BB, 26.5% K, 92 wRC+

July - .327/.464/.727, 20.3% BB, 15.9% K, 205 wRC+

 

I feel like Jackie Chiles describing his hot streaks: stupendous, outrageous, preposterous.
