TOP NL UTR PITCHING PERFORMANCE LHP Conner Menez (HiA San Jose – San Francisco) 22 year old 5 IP, 3 H, 0 ER, 0 BB, 7 K, Win 1-0
- Menez was my Giants “One to Watch” last season, but finds himself repeating at San Jose. 2017 was a tale of two seasons for the 2016 14th round pick, as the southpaw posted an 3.52 ERA during the first half of the season and waned during the latter part with a 6.43 ERA.
- Dunshee outshined my 2018 “One to Watch” pick Brian Howard in the nightcap of a doubleheader against Lake Elinsore (Padres). Howard pitched game one for the Ports and makes mentioned below. But how’s this for an eye-popping stat from last season for Dunshee, the 2016 7th round selection out of Wake Forest; 38.1 innings without allowing a run while with short-season Vermont. Dunshee extends that streak to 43.1 IP with five scoreless innings last night and setting a career mark with 10 strikouts.
