TOP NL UTR PITCHING PERFORMANCE LHP Bruce Zimmermann (LoA Rome – Atlanta) 23 year old 5 IP, 2 H, 0 ER, 0 BB, 7 K, 4.50 ERA, Win 2-1
- Zimmermann gets back on the UTRMinors mention board, but this time takes the top nod. His 2018 full season debut was a 5 inning scoreless affair, but as with most young arms, his second start was on the other end of the spectrum. The 5th round pick in 2017 gave up 7 ER over 4 innings last week.
- I pegged Linares on my 2016 International Watch list for the 2016 season when he made his U.S. debut. Though posting pedestrian numbers at Princeton (Appy League), the projectable righty came into his own last season with short-season Hudson Valley. He shook off his first full season start jitters last week ( 7 ER over 3.2 IP), by no-hitting West Michigan over 7 innings.
