Really good stuff from Owen Proksch tonight, as the left-hander pitched 1.2 scoreless innings of work for Hickory tonight (also picking up his first career win). Proksch allowed 1 hit and 1 walk to go along with 3 strikeouts on 26 pitches (69.2% strikes).
Proksch is a very exciting player that I intend on keeping a very close eye on next year. He鈥檚 able to generate elite extension in his delivery and has real swing and miss stuff.
Rangers 9th round draft pick Owen Proksch made his pro debut for Hickory last night, allowing 1 Hit, 1 Walk, 1 Unearned Run, and 1 strikeout in his 1 inning of work.
The lefty from Duke throws a sinker that can touch 94, a sweeper, as well as a changeup that he doesn鈥檛 throw very often.
He finished last season with a career-high 31.4% K%, and throws from a very deceptive three-quarters slot with a crossfire landing that鈥檚 very fun to watch lefties attempt to deal with.
He needs to be more effective with his changeup, as well as maybe add a cutter if he wants to stick as a starter in pro ball. If he doesn鈥檛, the sinker/sweeper combination is good enough to be an effective reliever. He鈥檚 one guy I鈥檓 keeping an eye on going into next season.
Btw if anyone thinks Mike maddux is good show them how Leiter is not able to execute a 2 strike pitch. That鈥檚 on the pitching coach
Btw Adolis should not be next up on getting benched or dfad. Hes currently playing gold glove defense and once he鈥檚 starts to not get unlucky he will turn into a 4 win player

On paper this is a bottom 5 bullpen. They have been exceeding expectations and they are now regressing
It鈥檚 easy to see why Seattle has been an elite offense this year. They put the ball in play and continuously have good at bats . It鈥檚 wonderful to watch
