Orion Kerkering and Wesley Moore showed out last night!
Kerkering struck out four out of the five batters he faced without allowing a hit for the @Threshers in their 5-2 win over Bradenton.
Moore struck out the side in the eighth inning for the @BlueClaws in their 3-2 win over Aberdeen.
A year ago, Wesley Moore was expecting to pitch in 2023 for Kansas State. He ended up signing with the Phillies in November and now is a key member of the BlueClaws bullpen! Latest Hook Line & Splitter is live!

Jack Dallas struck out three over two scoreless innings last night - the right-hander has allowed just seven ER in 41.2 innings between the BlueClaws and @Threshers so far this year!
There are 4 teams in all of baseball with a winning percentage over .700:
1- @Threshers (39-14, .736)
2- @RaysBaseball (46-19, .708)
3- @NorfolkTides (41-17, .707)
4- @okc_dodgers (42-18, .700)
A win today would not only make the @Threshers the fastest team in baseball to 40, but they would become the first team in all of @MiLB to clinch a playoff spot. It has been a truly remarkable first half of the season in Clearwater.
4.0 innings, 2 wins and 8 strikeouts last week for Wes, he’s allowed just one earned run over his first 9 games as as pro with 24 Ks, which leads all Threshers relievers.
First wins don’t get any better than that! Five Threshers pitchers combine for 16 strikeouts and a no-hitter in Bradenton for the first win of 2023!

Inside Pitch is by far the best facility around! They have it all. Brandon’s knowledge of the game combined with his training methods have created an environment next to none! The culture those guys bring ever day is why I made it my home for the off season.
