Adamczewski with a really nice running catch going back to the wall. Crashed pretty hard into the wall after it.

Mark Manfredi Sr (congrats to him) strikes out the side in the 9th inning. 7 whiffs in the inning. Dominant stuff.

He's thrown 3 innings this year. In those 3 innings he's faced 9 hitters and has 8 strikeouts.

Mark Manfredi has now retired all 9 batters faced across 2 games, with 8 strikeouts.

Send that stud to AAA ball.

Aggregated data from all levels, ranked by whiffs.
Braylon Owens take the crown with 15 whiffs today, and once again hitters look completely overmatched against Manfredi. 7 whiffs in one inning is just nasty work, might not be long before a AAA promotion.

Manfredi appears to be taking that coveted step before our eyes? 9 hitters does not write the Tale but it certainly represents a chapter. Years of teasing us with his raw goods but incapable of putting the pieces together. What a wonderful early season development. I don't expect this type of dominance to last if he is promoted but this is kind of beginning to feel like a Holub-like situation where we knew the raw goods absolutely played but the accuracy and precision and consistency lagged. What I see when I watch him sling it right now? A calmer pitcher with easier movements. He is letting the raw goods shine.

Owens' stats back in college, pitch label not calibrated.
Starter arsenal and a three-fastballs combo that Brewers like. Velos likely play faster due to his near-7ft extension. Might be a quite interesting one to follow this season.
