Wiggins gave up two runs in the first

HOWEVER!

He averaged a hair under 96 and got 5 whiffs

Wiggins 1st:

BB
HBP
I
K
WP
2-run single
K

31 pitches

At least a lot more 96s and 97s today.

In a row?!

We're in moral victories mode which is not ideal but Wiggins going 78 pitches with a 5/1 K/BB is good.  Velo dropped as he went along and *clearly* there's still a healthy amount of rust there but first outing at Iowa where it felt there was something to build on.

Ty Southisene's back with SB!?

[Bertz]

Ethan Flanagan's got a 28.3% K-rate, 5.8% BB rate, and an above average GB rate.

The stuff doesn't jump off the page at you and he's been strictly limited to twice through the order, but he's interesting.  Especially if over the offseason he can pull a Will Sanders and get his average fastball closer to 94 than 92.

Off a lefty!

[Jason Ross]

Easy power, too.
