Yeah, mid-90s FB (T98) and a plus change. Had TJS his junior year at Oregon St (draft year, spring 2022) and hasn’t pitched since. It’s been a long rehab, so not sure how his stuff is now.

Fernando Cruz went 1/3 today with a single, HBP but 2 strikeouts.

Juan Archbold: 3 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 3 K. It’s his second season in the DSL and he has some grow as a sleeper prospect when he signed in 2023.

Frisch had a rough pro debut:

0.2 IP, 2 H, 4 ER, 2 BB, 1 K, 1 HBP, 1 WP - faced 7 batters

Cristian Hernández has a double and a triple so far through 3.

He struck out in the 7th if you wanna jump back off.

And two stolen bases. Quite surprising to see him with 18 steals.

Boy was I wrong about my prediction about him.

Have we gotten any defensive updates this year?  I wonder if moving back to 2B full time is working.

No idea how his defense is doing, in terms of range or making difficult plays, etc..  

But his error-rate is ~1/3 what he had last year, so that's good at elast.  

2023: 15 errors in 55 games at 2nd, 153/15 assist/error ratio. 

2024: 3 errors in 39 games at 2nd, 85/3 assist/error ratio.   

May not mean much, and Tennessee might have a lenient official scores, beats me.  But to at least make the routine plays is still better than making errors.
