Minor league roster moves: 2023
« on: July 25, 2023, 09:59:26 pm »
Via talknats: “The #Nats have signed another NDFA with pitcher Matt Bollenbacher from Dallas Baptist University.  He has a 3-pitch mix with an upper 90's fastball, a  changeup at 90, and a slider in the mid-80s.”

Good question. Maybe because he doesn’t play for LSU?

Probably because he had an ERA over 6 last season and over 5 this season.

He throws strikes but is very hitable

I thought Baldo was the guide dog for the team that delivered the diptheria meds to Nome.

So does that mean we should get rid of all of our catchers, or just sign catchers? ;)
