Who is more worrying- Wilken, J. Williams, or Pratt??

Birchard - if he can limit walks he can be so good.  I see a bullpen move for him to try to use his arsenal and give max effort in shorter stints.

None of the above? It's still April. I know they'd all like to be finding more success but we aren't even a month old yet. I think Pratt starting off extremely slow is extremely on par with expectations. He's very young for the League and his hit tool just hasn't caught up to his defense and overall make-up. It is likely going to take time. Wilken is very streaky as is. Jett is just getting started in a new org and is likely pressing. Lotta season left regardless.

Birchard's ongoing walk issues are certainly notable and continually concerning. Walks don't work in a bullpen role either.

I'll admit, when Carson Benge made the opening day roster for the Mets, especially with our outfield uncertainty, I was wondering if we made the wrong pick choosing Payne. It's still early in their journey for both, but oh, how the turntables!

 Braylon Payne hit a 109 mph nuke. We should all take a moment to appreciate the shot and the Tin Caps glowing broadcast:

Eric Bitonti also ripped his second tater. Yay! I continue to absolutely love his swing:

 

115 EV on the Bitonti blast per Aram

Goodness. The man can really send it when he squares it. His 18:12 K:BB in 52 PA is also pretty fascinating.
