After a one-game FCL warm-up, Max Wagner played his first full-season game last night at Aberdeen and homered, going 1 for 4. Wagner finished last year at Bowie and presumably will head back there soon.
3 IP, 1 ER, 4 H, 2 BB, 5 K’s yesterday, on 64 pitches, 36 strikes. Not an efficient outing. Chace pitched to two batters in the 4th inning, allowing a hit and a walk.
Fabian is on a nice little heater. After hitting .227/.325/.379 in April, in his first 5 games of May he’s hitting .381/.435/.952 with 4 homers. That’s raised his overall line to .264/.350/.517. His K rate hasn’t moved, with 7 K’s in 21 PA in May.
TJ caught my eye in the game summary of the comeback win on 7 May, when he singled in the tying run and then stole second and third: his 17th steal of the season. That's 17 steals and 17 hits (and 17 runs!) in 79 AB. Only 2 caught stealing. BTW that steal rate translates as 106 SB with 500 AB.
