- Warner found himself going from the Indy Frontier League (River City) to a relief appearance at Palm Beach last season. Between there, the GCL Cardinals, and LoA Peoria, the 5’11’ 185 lb southpaw posted 2.44 ERA with 73 strikeouts in 62.2 innings in 13 appearances (11 starts). Warner’s ceiling could be that of a lefty specialist from the bullpen. His ability to generate strikeouts and low BB/9 rate should get him to St Louis.
- Lehnen makes three straight UTR Mentions and 4th overall. Over his last 3 starts, the 6th round pick from last year has only allowed 3 earned runs in 16.2 innings with 25 strikeouts and one walk.
LoA Mentions – Starters LHP Tyler Watson (LoA Cedar Rapids – Minnesota) 21 years old 5.1 IP, 3 H, 0 ER, 0 BB, 6 K, 2.08 ERA, Win 2-1
- My Twins 2018 “One to Watch” would have been a 2017 UTR Organizational All-Star with the Washington Nationals, had he not been traded to Minnesota in the Brandon Kintzler deal.
