- Zimmermann makes his second top honor in as many starts and third overall mention this season.
- The Down East bullpen blew the save and the game to tarnish a great outing from my choice of the Rangers 2018 “One to Watch”. After my system sifted him in as a UTR Organizational All-Star during the 2016 season in the Dominican Summer League, the Ranger staff assigned him straight to full season Hickory in 2017. He posted a 5.00 K/BB there and seems to be handling the advanced hitters in the Carolina League with 25 strikeouts and 2 walks over 18.2 innings. Arredondo enjoyed his first full season complete game and sets a career-high in strikeouts.
