Surprised to see Heston even on that list, let alone above Gunnar.

Draft status.

I’m surprised there’s no pitcher higher than 11.

Them?

I agree.

I'd have a very hard time putting someone in his position in the top 100.

Yea me too. I couldn’t justify it.

Maybe people who actually saw him play and have a feel for his potential believe that they can justify it.

This is true. Plus, people talk. Maybe he's raking in Sarasota and they're just slow-playing his return to the grind to make sure he's fully healthy. Or maybe their just being cautious dropping him. You don't change the whole batting order based on a bad BP or a short slump. But at some point you have to make the change.

They're likely just slow to do so, but I'd guess they will by mid/end of the season if there aren't glowing reports that he's actually showing out.

Hey, this is progress, right? First I’ve heard from him in forever.

The same ones that had him ranked ninth coming into the draft?

If he had gone ninth and then hadn't played an inning with no timetable in place for a return to games is he still ranked in the top 100?

I don't think so.  He's still ranked because he went 1-2.

3 ip 1 h 0 runs 0 bb 5k to start tonight.  Hit was an opposite field grounder that beat the shift. Mixing pitches well and hitting 98 on the fastball. These hitters are overmatched this far.  

[CanadianOriole]

Done after 5 -   5 ip. 2h 0 runs 2bb 6k.  71 pitches.
Command wavered slightly in the 4th and 5th. Showed a good aptitude for fielding the position starting a DP to get out of the 4th.  No balls hit particularly hard all night -  couple runners made it to second over the course of his outing, but it didn’t really feel like Binghamton was likely to score. 

[Sports Guy]

66% of his pitches for strikes

Home debut on Tuesday lines him up to start on Sunday as well. Probably won't be able to make it on Tuesday, but may go for Father's Day.

Figured it was 50/50 if he'd take his turn at end of long road trip Sunday.    A little bummed as we are taking kiddo Saturday night for fireworks and I thought we had good shot for him if he went Sunday, but all good.    Akron looks much better than Binghamton and frankly if he can shove twice against the better team, he could flirt with Norfolk before 4th of July.

I hate they make him wait a week between starts, but I guess if he can two starts in next week it works out just as well, plus I see why they would want him to pitch at home.
