On the main boards we had talked earlier this year about what numbers constitute a real 3TO player... and arbitrarily came up with 50% roughly as a watermark.

Schwarber leads baseball in HR and K this year and his HR/BB/K ratio to his PA is 56.5% .... which is crazy.

In Appleton this year Fischer was at 59.8% and in his 15 games in Biloxi that has climbed to 63.9%.

Special stuff. However you want to define special.

19-year old RHP Tyler Renz has gotten 9 days of rest after his last outing (3 IP, 7 R (6 ER), 3 Ks) and now leads Low-A Wilson as they try to clinch a 4-2 home series win over Kannapolis. 2B Juan Martinez has a 48-game on-base streak dating back to last year.

20-year old RHP Josh Knoth makes his 2nd start of the week (5 IP, 4 R, 4 Ks on Tuesday), as High-A Wisconsin seek to clinch a series win at Peoria. 3B Eric Bitonti has a 13-game on-base streak.
