Fernando Cruz didn't play today after he left his last DSL Cubs Red game after a HBP (he ran the bases, scored and then was pulled).

Ballesteros home run.  He is a bad body brutally amazing hitter.  If he doesn't struggle mightily at AAA, I don't think they can keep him down all year.

ONKC with a perfect laser to throw out a runner going first to third on a single.  Nothing wrong with his arm for sure.

Jaxon Wiggins: 3.2 IP, 2 H, 2 ER, 1 BB, 5 K

He had only given up one baserunner through 3.2 (a double with two outs in the first) but then gave up a single and a BB with 2 outs in the 4th and Sam Thoresen promptly let those inherited runs score.

65 pitches is the most in Wiggins’ pro career. Took 9.2 innings for his first A-ball walk.

He swings at strikes on 3-0. Not sure if he's made out for this org.

He smoked that ball too.  Just hit it right at Smith-Njigba.

You probably can't justify the 40 man machinations of bringing him up with such a short runway of him performing like this, but Hunter Bigge looks like an absolute DUDE right now. Throwing way way way more strikes than last year right now.
