[We Got The Whole 9]

Smyly pitched 3 clean innings with 5 Ks. 

 

I feel like Christian Hernandez's season is really flying under the radar. He's only 20 and has shown big improvement in his plate discipline. Should be at AA next year at 21 with an arrow pointing up. Any idea how his defense has looked?

Not sure he's gonna get to AA next season but he's having a great season: In 146 PA, he's got a wRC+ around 135, K% at 22%, BB% at 13% and he's already at 18 SB.
