Promotion Speculation - 2026

[Ro Mueller]

Feel free to discuss which prospect bats and arms are ready for a bump up in competition, when and why.

However, please remember that we do not speculate on potential cuts. Thank you.

While a lot of our collective attention has been on Blake Burke (.960 OPS), Mark Manfredi (48.3 K% in 7.1 IP), Josh Adamczewski (1.301 OPS), Luis Pena (1.060 OPS) and Luis Lara (.953 OPS), I’m looking at the relatively short-handed Shuckers’ staff.

Maybe 23-year old RHP Michael Fowler (2.45 ERA, 0.95 WHIP, 8.6 K/9 in 7.1 IP this year) will get the bump up to AA ball to help them out.

LHP Anfernny Reyes (44 K% in 8.0 IP) or RHP Garrett Hodges (3.86 ERA, 1.07 WHIP, 9.6 K/9 in 9.1 IP) could then back-fill into Wisconsin from Wilson.
