Trey Jeans isn't part of Project Birmingham, in the sense that he's 26 years old and was promoted from Winston-Salem in late June. He is part of Project Birmingham, in the sense that he's capable of chaotic sequences.
The 33rd-round pick put together one of the more unusual pitching lines for the Barons against the Rocket City Trash Pandas. He entered in relief of Matthew Thompson and retired only one of the six batters he faced.
The sequence: HBP, flyout to right, HBP, catcher interference, walk, HBP.
There didn't appear to be any malice, as two sliders hit feet and a third found a thigh, but his team photo suggests to expect the erratic.
