  1. Wicks with 4 Ks through 3 scoreless.
  2. He gave him a 40 FV! Same as Howard, Made, Paciolla and Derniche Valdez. Good company.
  3. https://www.thecubreporter.com/kyle-hendricks-goes-live-extended-spring-training Escobar was fantastic in the DSL last year.
  4. Scheduled Game (Central Time): Iowa vs Columbus, 6:37 pm Tennessee vs Birmingham, 6:00 pm South Bend at Quad Cities, 6:30 pm - opening night Myrtle Beach vs Charleston, 6:05 pm Probable Starters: Iowa: RHP Riley Thompson Tennessee: LHP Jordan Wicks South Bend: RHP Richard Gallardo Myrtle Beach: RHP Brody McCullough
  5. TV gun was hot but actual readings were still very impressive:
  6. If you think Ferris is better than Horton, you’re going on a limb and disagreeing with the major draft publications. Only MLB Pipeline rated Ferris above Horton and since then, Pipeline has changed their mind with Horton not only ranked higher but and even ranked as a top 100 prospect across MLB (also no prospect publication ranks a guy in the top 100 who hasn’t thrown a pro pitch if they think he’ll settle in as a closer). Here were the draft rankings: Horton - BA: 23, ESPN: 22, FG: 12, MLB: 24, Prospects Live: 12 Ferris - BA: 34, ESPN, 41, FG: 43, MLB: 19, PL: 27 (Also Horton has two pitches with a 60 or better FV and Ferris only has one pitch even at 60, so you’re not even using the same closer logic on Ferris you do with Horton.)
  7. Estrada velocity up today, doing this in 35° temps
  8. 112.6 EV on the Mervis grand slam
  9. Morel walk and then 2 batters later, Velázquez HR to dead center. 2-0 Iowa. Here is video:
  10. Here is the full write-up for Lance’s top 30:
  11. Cade Horton is scheduled to make his pro debut on Saturday.
  12. At least early on, I think we’ll see a few piggyback guys getting the same number of innings as certain starters so not starting at either South Bend or Myrtle Beach shouldn’t be too big a deal. Just take the opportunity and force yourself into the rotation.
  13. Scheduled Game (Central Time): Iowa vs Columbus, 4:07 pm Tennessee vs Birmingham, 6:00 pm - opening night Myrtle Beach vs Charleston, 6:05 pm - opening night South Bend starts April 7th. Probable Starters: Iowa: LHP Roenis Elías Tennessee: RHP Ryan Jensen Myrtle Beach: RHP Grant Kipp
