Jake Eder
Since being acquired for Jake Burger at the trade deadline, Jake Eder’s tenure in the White Sox organization has been a bit rocky. He’s been sent to their pitching lab in Arizona before participating in the Arizona Fall League, which kicks off on October 2.
Colson Montgomery & Bryan Ramos
While Colson Montgomery has endured a couple rough weeks hitting the baseball, he’s still been able to get on base at a nice clip as Birmingham’s season wraps up this week. Montgomery will also be participating in the Arizona Fall League in October.
Bryan Ramos was another prominent member of the Barons that struggled at the plate against tough Biloxi pitching last week. Ramos will look to end the Barons regular season on a high note before participating in the AFL in October.
Edgar Quero & José Rodríguez
Offensively, it was a tough week for the Barons but Edgar Quero walked more (four) than he struck out (three) while also connecting for three hits in four games.
José Rodríguez had a rough go in his first full week as a member of the Knights against a stellar Durham Bulls club. He was also caught stealing (twice) for the first time since August 2.
Jacob Gonzalez & Peyton Pallette
Jacob Gonzalez doubled the amount of walks he took (eight) to strikeouts (four) in the last week of the Cannon Ballers season.
Peyton Pallette first full professional season is in the books, having pitched 72 innings with a 4.13 ERA, 1.36 WHIP, and 78 strikeouts across 22 starts as a member of the Cannon Ballers.
Nick Nastrini & Cristian Mena
Nick Nastrini and Cristian Mena experienced the Truist Field effect last week. These were starts that both right handers will look to put out of their memories ASAP.
