Three Practice Games vs Tigers - two @ Clearwater, one @ Lakeland - I will post details tomorrow. RHP Orion Kerkering started the game on Ashburn - he threw a perfect inning with two strikeouts - he hid the ball really well out of his glove transfer to release point - the release looked like the ball was coming out of his shoulder, couldn’t pick up the grip at all (even with binoculars). Good stuff!
Happy Day, Happy Baseball ⚾️
