Ryan Gallagher doing Ryan Gallagher things, struck out the side in the 5th

Gallagher is probably ready for AA.

That Gallagher stuff is pretty great.  

Seems they've done some good work with some non-first-round college pitchers lately.  Riley Martin (2021, $1K bonus), Birdsell (5th round, 22), Wiggins and Sanders (2nd, 4th, 2023), Gallagher (6th, 2024), that's a shot to get some value out of non-first-rounders.  

I wonder how far away Birdsell and McCollough are from box-score games?
