Minor League Spring Training :


Side Bullpens :


Ten pitchers threw morning side bullpen sessions on the seven mounds in front of the David Montgomery Training Center, some performed their work on the new state of the art pitching lab mound inside the training center, pitchers who threw today - Ethan Lindow, Zach Linginfelter, Jordi Martinez, Cam Wynne, Wesley Moore, Andrew Walling, Blake Brown, Drew Garrett, Jason Ruffcorn and Jace Vines


Live Bullpens :


Ten pitchers threw live bullpen sessions on Ashburn and Carlton fields - Josh Hendrickson, David Parkinson, Rafael Marcono, Malik Binns, Alex McKenney, Enrique Segura, Konnor Ash, Gabriel Cotto, Jean Cabrera and Ty Collins


My Notes :


Good to see LH David Parkinson back in action - he was inactive for the 2022 season, looked to be in old form - threw strikes, mixed pitches, worked quickly and lived in the lower part of the zone.

Micah Yonamine had a good day at the plate with a couple knocks - double to left center field and a single - one RBI.
