While looking for something else, i ran across Tyler Brown’s story (#3rd round draft choice, 2020 draft) and haven’t been able to get it out of my mind.
(From 2020 Draft Thread)
Imagine the challenge of being a father of a special needs daughter while in the minor leagues.
Hope someone encouraged him to bank his bonus.
- The milb game log revealed that during April & May he pitched in 8 games, 5 as a starter and 3 in relief. His WHIP was 1.63 in April & 2.52 in May.
- Per BA game log, he threw 88, 78, 82, 79, & 92 pitches starting and 45, 60, & 55 in relief; averaging 60% strikes.
- From 24 May to 11 July he disappeared.
- He came out of development throwing 70% strikes…
- And he got his first win last night.
Is he projecting as a starter now?
