One of the best parts of tracking Arizona League box scores: spotting rehab appearances that indicate a player is healthy again. Brendon Little and Eury Ramos started for the Cubs two AZL teams on Opening Day, and they’ve been joined recently in Arizona by Zack Short and Fidel Mejia. Nico Hoerner should be joining the list soon.
Once we get these players back to the full-season levels they’re intended to play at, and we get all the 2019 draft guys playing, the depth in the system is going to start to feel healthy again.
#Cubs 2018 6th Rd pick Kohl Franklin, an overslot prep signing out of Oklahoma, struck out 8 batters in 4 innings last night.
Most of his success came on the back of an impressive changeup.
So, let's take a look at a minute of Franklin throwing that pitch throughout the outing. pic.twitter.com/OFF2uLB4jI— Michael Ernst (@mj_ernst) June 22, 2019
I can see it. Delvin-Brennen pick and roll in that Lowry-Kawhi action, get the little switched onto Brennen, Kevonte and Hughes ready to drill in the corners, Hudson in the dunker spot. I like our odds!
