Ex Guards are the Best Guards {'24}

[Wham with the Right Hand]

Benson hitting .200 with 42 K's in 95 AB's. If he strikes out in his next at-bat he'll be at a 50% K-rate. That's not easy. Austin Hedges is at 37%.

Jones is hitting .170/.519. One home run in 94 AB's. Speaking of Rockies, Cal Quantrill is 0-3, 5.34.

The other Logan Allen is pitching long relief for the D-Backs. In two appearances he's pitched 7.2 innings and allowed 1 earned run.

We'll get a look at Yainer Diaz starting tomorrow.

43 K's in 96 At Bats would be 45%

The Twins are finally starting to get healthy.. Carlos Correa will be activated as early as this afternoon.. Royce Lewis is slated to begin baseball activities and, if all goes well, be activate around the middle of May... The Guardians are entering into a prolonged stretch of games without a day off with the Twins at the end of that slog.. Should be an interesting 17 days..

Nolan Jones on IR with a back injury. Probably been trying to play through it.

If Plutko had a strong two years pitching in North Korea the G's would have signed him.

If Plutko had a strong two years pitching in North Korea the G's would have signed him.

He probably would have lost 30 pounds.

Fangraphs has a column on how ballparks are now equipped with cameras that can measure bat speed. They cautioned that elite bat speed does not always translate into production. The example they gave was Frazier, who could generate elite bat speed.
