Ags Showing Out in the Show

Michael Wacha kind of just became a back end of the rotation, meh, kind of guy after a very promising start to this career. Whatever he found in Boston is working. He's been rock solid this year.

17 starts, 95 IP, 2.56 ERA, 10-1.

Ross Stripling always kind of got lost in the shuffle in those very deep Dodger rotations. He was always good, but then ran into issues when he moved to Toronto. He's in the middle of his best season as well.

26 games, 18 starts, 101 IP, 2.94 ERA, 6-4.

Brooks Raley was an advanced metric darling in Houston, but the on field results never fully matched. His bad luck has run out. He's been killing it in Tampa this year.

49 games, 44.2 IP, 2.22 ERA, 6 saves, only allowed a single HR all year.

AJ Minter has been the best Aggie in baseball for the last several years. This year, he's great again.

60 games, 55.1 IP, 2.28 ERA. 5 saves, 34.3% K% (filthy!)

Another from the 2011 WS "run", Tyler Naquin is doing okay. He hasn't been able to replicate his rookie breakout, but this year and last he's been a reliable league-average platoon-type player. Not showing out, but happy for him in year 7.

We have a few others playing, but have been largely unremarkable - Daniel Mengden, Corbin Martin, Ryan Hendrix.

In total, we have 7 arms and 1 bat in the bigs this year.

The only other guys close to the bigs are Shewmake & Banks in AAA. Both doing okay. Bryce Miller is already in AA after being drafted in 2021. Frizzel is mashing in A, he could be someone to watch.
