Kyle Jonhston – RHP
Now pitching in AA as a reliever, Kyle Johnston has performed well in his new role. He started pitching in relief on June 11 and since then, he has allowed only one earned run while racking up 12 strikeouts while going 2+ innings each outing. He has issued seven walks in the same time span, something to clean up, but nevertheless solid numbers for the right-hander.
Fitz Stadler – RHP
While the 6.75 ERA may be deceiving, since June 6, Fitz Stadler has not given up an earned run through 8.2 innings pitched, striking out 14 batters and only issuing five walks.
