Drew does a Film Study on Jackson Kowar’s first Double-A start.

I watched Jackson Kowar’s first start in Double-A the night it happened, but I went back and re-watched it taking a second set of notes and charting just to see what else I could see. I was very happy with this outing from Kowar. I think we see a lot of his plan of attack at work here, so let’s break it down.

NWA Week in Review: June 24-30

I was hoping for a better start to the second half after the promotions of Jackson Kowar and Brady Singer brought some excitement and life to the Naturals’ rotation.

Chasing the Storm: Omaha Week in Review June 11th – June 18th

The Omaha Storm Chasers began the week with a travel day to Sacramento on Tuesday June 11. In their seven game west coast trip they played the Sacramento River Cats who are the AAA affiliate of the San Francisco Giants before they moved on to the Fresno Grizzlies who are the AAA affiliate of the Washington Nationals.

The #NWANaturals are unable to mount a comeback & drop the series opener to the Arkansas Travelers by a 3-1 final on Monday night.

Game 2 of this 3-game set is Tuesday night at 6:35pm where highly-touted prospects RHP Brady Singer & RHP Justin Dunn will square off. #GoNaturals pic.twitter.com/7QUOF3pvbQ

Bobby Witt Jr. is indeed in the AZL Royals lineup again tonight, batting 2nd and DHing.
— Royals Farm Report (@RoyalsFarm) July 2, 2019

1st at-bat @BwittJr works the count to 3-1. Hard quick action on it. Third baseman with the pick. Bad camera follow skills. #ProspectOne pic.twitter.com/XdS88u1PSL

Bubba Starling is 2-2 tonight. He’s been struggling of late, good to see him back on the hit parade.

Wilmin Candelario hit his first career homerun today, that’s pretty cool. Bat hasn’t been great, but it’s been a little better than I expected, which is great because he’s got potential plus speed and plus defense.
