  1. Will Sanders: 6 IP, 3 H, 1 ER, 2 BB, 5 K, 1 HR on 72 pitches. The homer came in the 6th inning.
  2. Have to imagine Wiggins’ day is done. Hell of a low-A debut: 3 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 5 K, 40-28 pitches-strikes, 10 swinging strikes
  3. Wiggins struck out the side in the second. 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 4 K. 7 swinging strikes His third strikeout came on a batter violation, but to be fair, he had an automatic ball too.
  4. Wiggins went K, GO, GO in the first.
  5. That would be surprising since prep arms tend to fall every year and there isn't even a consensus on who the top prep pitcher is this year. Noble Meyer was much better regarded last year than any of this year's prep prospects and he fell to 10.
  6. Fernando Cruz goes 2/4 with a double, single, walk, strikeout and a stolen base in his first pro game.

Scheduled Games (Central Time): Iowa vs. Toledo, 6:38 pm Tennessee vs. Birmingham, 6:00 pm South Bend vs. West Michigan, 6:05 pm Myrtle Beach at Augusta, 6:05 pm ACL Cubs at ACL Rockies, 8:00 pm DSL Cubs Blue vs DSL Royals Fortuna, 10:00 am DSL Cubs Red at DSL Pirates Black, 10:00 am Probable Starters: Iowa: LHP Thomas Pannone (58 IP, 4.34 ERA, 4.60 FIP, 54 K, 18 BB) Tennessee: RHP Chris Kachmar (26 IP, 3.81 ERA, 4.41 FIP, 33 K, 16 BB) South Bend: RHP Will Sanders (31.1 IP, 4.60 ERA, 4.64 FIP, 36 K, 18 BB) Myrtle Beach: RHP Jaxon Wiggins (low-A debut - at ACL Cubs: 7 IP, 10.29 ERA, 11.65 FIP, 7 K, 12 BB) ACL Cubs: RHP Freylin Silverio (12 IP, 6.00 ERA, 4.55 FIP, 15 K, 9 BB) and/or RHP Diego Dugarte (5.2 IP, 7.94 ERA, 11.15 FIP, 7 K, 8 BB)
  8. This was against Drew Thorpe, the crown jewel prospect in both the Juan Soto and Dylan Cease trades last offseason.
  9. Madrigal and Palencia both left the second Iowa game with injury.
  10. 25. Cade Horton 30. Pete Crow-Armstrong 33. Matt Shaw 38. Owen Caissie 43. Jefferson Rojas 62. Moisés Ballesteros 64. Kevin Alcántara

  12. Ángel Cepeda with two more doubles in the ACL. Joan Delgado hit his first stateside homer.
  13. Don’t test his urine for cough syrup?
  14. All well and good but the Marlins are good at pitcher development and credit to them for leaning into it. They really whiffed on Khalil Watson and Jacob Berry the years before. The Cubs are risk adverse but have had success with Shaw, Horton and Wicks and didn't have success with the far riskier Ed Howard. It's not sexy but good teams know what they're good at and continue to go back to that well.
