Keep track as season progresses for how many of Shaw's HR's are RF shots.

Good season debut from Juan Bello, 6 Ks in 3.1 with 3 BBs, a H, a R

Edit: MiLB.com updated to 7 Ks

Would love for some of the Latin pitchers to emerge, that would be great.  Tom, did Bello have surgery last season, or some lesser injury?  Erian Hernandez was really good, too.  5K in 2.1 IP.

Arias got through his first inning on 15 pitches, 1-2-3.

Nice opener for Franklin, 4 perfect innings, 4K/0BB, only 41P.  41P/27strikes.

Also took his second walk in as many games.  And also I'm a bit slow on the uptick but I didn't realize he's still 18 for a couple weeks??

Yep! He's a baby compared to other babies. His birthday is in April. He started last year at MB as a 17 year old.

2 walks for Shaw, if he starts taking those in between hitting laser beams for XBH then look out
