COLT EMERSON
@LO_Mariners@TyDaneGonzalez How much of this performance comes with Cal calling pitches again? I understand Cal has called most of his starts over the last year when Logan had been a 5 and dive. But, Cal has had a lot of down time that could’ve been used to scheme new game plans.
Andres Muñoz is struggling.
He also has the best whiff rate and the best chase rate in the sport, and he’s in the 98th percentile in K%.
All the tools are still there.
The consistency and command are not.
But he needs to figure it out. This team needs Andres Muñoz to be good.
The combined numbers for the Mariners top 3 active starting pitching prospects Kade Anderson, Ryan Sloan, Mason Peters:
27G, 2.41ERA, 116IP, 85H, 25BB, 167K.
Fridays & Saturdays are fun in the minors.
Colt Emerson, leaning into one and going left-on-left ... No. 3 of the season.
