Really great stuff from Cristian.  I'm curious how much longer he hangs out at MB.  I don't hate him hanging out a while and continuing to build confidence and good reps, but with him repeating the level it also wouldn't be crazy to move him up soon.  Maybe he gets moved up right after the draft?

They may be waiting for ISO gains. He's controlling the zone well and that's the next step in the progression.

Getting out of MB would be a boost for his (or anyone's) ISO

He is the age of a college sophomore so I don't think it's a big deal if he sticks around repeating MB till draft signees filter in. Especially since his younger brother is at the same level - that can't hurt him.

Are we thinking one or two more starts for Wicks to get him stretched out?

I hope only 1 more. Maybe 70 pitches. Then bring him back. Might be the end of the line for Kyle, at that time.

Sounds like one more
