Where Are They Now? (4/16)

On the Mend: Former OSU pitchers Mark McLemore and Dallas Buck are on the DL for their respective teams. McLemore is with Triple-A Round Rock, has yet to throw a pitch this season. Buck is recovering from Tommy John’s and last I had heard has moved onto long toss.

As a "team"…: The Beaver pitchers have thrown 52.67 innings, have a 4-2 record and seven saves. 44 strikeouts match up with 25 walks and 46 hits. The staff has a 3.08 ERA along with a .225 average against.

The Beaver fielders have 15 doubles, two triples and eight homers. As a whole they have struck out 71 times but plated 52 runs and 50 RBI. The squad is hitting .261, a .376 slugging percentage and a .340 on base percentage. Beaver speedsters are combined seven-for-nine stealing bases.

Three High A Leagues: Darwin Barney has been up and down in the Cubs lineup, moving between one-and-nine in the past few games. Mitch Canham is beginning to cool down a little bit, while after a poor performance Jonah Nickerson has earned his first win for the Flying Tigers. Tyler Graham is playing exceptionally well while Chris Kunda has found the bench in Tampa. Kevin Gunderson is throwing well in the Pelicans bullpen and may not be in Myrtle Beach for long.

A-Ballers: Mike Lissman has begun to swing a hot back for the overly hot Kane County Cougars. Joe Paterson and Daniel Turpen have been getting their innings in Augusta and it seems that Turpen may be transitioning into becoming a closer.
