major start in the minors

[INbuc]

After the first weekend of minor league ball, I was impressed with the piecemeal reports of the starting pitching. I decided to accumulate some of the top performances. Here are 10 of the 14 starts to date:



IP H ER BB K

WV MacGregor 5.1 4 1 1 12

BR Escobar 5 3 1 0 3

BR Wallace 5 4 1 1 2

BR Vera 5 3 1 1 5

AL Keller 6 2 0 2 8

AL Waddell 5.2 4 1 1 7

AL Agrazal 6 0 0 3 2

AL Brubaker 5 4 1 2 8

IN Eppler 5.2 6 0 1 10

IN Kingham 5 1 0 3 10



TOTALS 53.2 31 6 15 67



Combined, the results yielded a WHIP of 0.86, an ERA of 1.01, and K/BB ratio of 4.47. Mike Wallace didn’t actually start his game—he started the 2nd inning after a long rain delay.



That will be a tough pace to maintain, but that is one impressive start.

Altoona is going to be one tough team

One of the best things about those numbers is that it is largely our top prospects who are doing it. Those are exactly the guys you want putting up those numbers.
