10 hours ago10 hr Another couple good starts for Hagen and he starts to enter the major league roster discussion IMO.

If he has to dial it back that much just to have some decent command then it's going to be a big problem in the majors.

I have no idea what those numbers say though.

6 hours ago6 hr Hagen Smith with 5 SOs through 2. Also has 2 walks, 1 hit and 46 pitches (only 25 strikes) Dude can barely make it 4 innings. Edited 6 hours ago6 hr by ron883
6 hours ago6 hr People keep telling me Hagen needs to be in MLB but it takes an act of Congress for him to pitch 5 innings and he doesn't even throw hard anymore. I'm also worried about how things would go for him if he had to face an MLB lineup without a handful of lefties in it. A lot of these outings give a feel of just waiting to get to the next lefty.
5 hours ago5 hr Hagen just finished his day on a 96 mph fastball up and away for a strikeout to a righty.Not sure his line but 0 runs. Edited 5 hours ago5 hr by hi8is
5 hours ago5 hr The Durham broadcast really advocating for Hagen to get the call lolSeemed like his pitch count today was ~90, which is interesting.Ended up at 92 after 4.2 IP. 9 K, 4 H, 3 BB, no runs.Slider was nasty today, 77% whiff rate.Seemed like he was pacing himself with the fastball velo. Ramped it up as he went instead of fading out late, average was higher in his last inning than in his first. Edited 4 hours ago4 hr by Autumn Dreamin

3 hours ago3 hr 4.2 with 3 hits no runs 3bb (2 in the first 3 batters) 9K. I just don’t see what everyone is complaining about. I get it, they passed up Konnor Griffin to draft him, but Hagen is trending in the right direction. Personally, I am cautiously optimistic.

Lee challenged a close pitch and lost, so he didn't challenge ball 4 later in the AB which I thought got the zone in real time.Closest to ready that he's looked in a bit to me (though I still wouldn't rush it)
3 hours ago3 hr Bonemer 2-4 with a HR, 2B, BB and most importantly - no walks. He's been striking out less this last month (24%) but his hitting stats are all down during the month. Edited 3 hours ago3 hr by ron883
