Autumn Dreamin

ICYMI, Wolkow is no longer the tallest player on the Kannapolis roster. 22yo RHP Carson Jacobs (2023 UDFA) joined the team just before the break, and he's 6'9" (nice). Threw two hitless/scoreless innings tonight, 4K and 1BB. Batista was effective despite a rare 0 strikeout game. Still a QS (6IP, 2ER, 4H, 1BB). Wolkow finished 2-4 with a double, BB, K, and 4 RBI. Nishida 1-4 with a BB and 2K. Nishida has played 83 games, and this is just his 10th with more than 1K (he has 14 games with multiple walks, and 27 with multiple hits). 20yo CF Alvaro Aguero looks surprisingly comfortable in his first stint on a full season affiliate. 1-4 today, .393/.433/.464 with 4SB through 8 games (28 AB) so far, and he made a really excellent catch + assist for an inning ending DP.

Knights and Barons postponed, they'll both play two tomorrow.

This was a good read:

Scouting report from the Area Code games: Also:

I wouldn't mind Dakota Jordan.

Shirley on the pick:

That's so Oakland.

Full count walk for Montgomery in his second AB.

Could still be happening? There's a lot of movement going on, including a group of pitching prospects spending a couple days with Banny this week: I assume a lot of the recent spot starts and roster movement has been to accommodate that.

Schultz on the bump for the 4th, and Colson due up in the bottom half of the inning.
