Colson Montgomery & Bryan Ramos
*crickets chirping*
There's no update on Montgomery. Ramos was supposed to be back "soon" two weeks ago, but has yet to be activated.
Oscar Colás
Oscar Colás continues to swing a hot bat for the Knights, following up the previous week's 1.171 OPS with a 1.096 OPS and a handful of extra base hits against Durham.
Noah Schultz & Norge Vera
While things are still quiet on the Norge Vera front, Noah Schultz is reportedly throwing in Arizona.
Lenyn Sosa
Lenyn Sosa was optioned back to Charlotte and appeared in two games for the Knights, slugging a home run against the Durham Bulls.
Peyton Pallette
Peyton Pallette had a nice bounce-back start against Fayetteville after being unable to make it out of the first inning in his previous start. The five strikeouts and four innings pitched he had in this start are both season highs.
Sean Burke
Control issues and ineffectiveness continue to plague Sean Burke. Walks and hits keep piling up during his abbreviated starts.
José Rodriguez & Cristian Mena
The rough beginning to the season for Popeye got worse last week, as he was only able to muster two hits in 26 ABs against Pensacola, but did go 2-for-2 in stolen bases.
Cristian Mena had an uncharacteristically rough start versus the Blue Wahoos, where he was unable to make it out of the third inning and allowed three runs for the first time since his first start of the season.
Best of the Rest
Clint Frazier & Erik González
Clint Frazier followed up a three homer, 1.980 OPS week with a very solid 1.278 OPS with five extra base hits (four doubles, one home run).
Erik González had a nice week for the Knights, homering once and ending the week with a 1.056 OPS
Nate Fisher
Nate Fisher was outstanding in his start against Durham, limiting the Bulls to just one hit and one run allowed (unearned) while striking out seven over 5.1 innings.
Taylor Snyder & Adam Hackenberg
Taylor Snyder smacked two home runs and four RBI en route to a 1.313 OPS last week against Pensacola.
Adam Hackenberg hit one double, one home run, and had three RBI while ending the week with a .308/.438/.615 slash line and a 1.053 OPS.
Alsander Womack
Alsander Womack has been performing well since his promotion to Birmingham two weeks ago. Last week, Womack hit one home run, knocked in four, and had 10 total hits on the week with a .417/.481/.542 triple slash and a 1.023 OPS.
DJ Gladney
The hot spring of DJ Gladney continued against Greenville last week. Gladney smashed four extra base hits (two 2B, 3B, HR) in 18 ABs, four RBI, and a .333/.400/.722 triple slash for a 1.122 OPS.
Jonathan Cannon
Jonathan Cannon followed up his superb outing in the previous week with another highly effective outing last week. The full stat line is in the tweet below, but Cannon has only allowed one run and a 0.64 WHIP over 14 innings in his last two starts combined.
Bryce Willits
After posting a 1.371 OPS in the previous week, Willits posted another strong line, batting .444/.545/.778 for a 1.323 OPS, three extra base hits (2B, 3B, HR), five RBI, and went 1-for-1 on stolen bases.
Connor McCullough
Connor McCullough followed up his fantastic outing in the previous week by throwing six innings of three hit ball against Fayetteville. McCullough once again didn't allow any runs and also struck out seven.
SHANE MURPHY
Shane Murphy continues to throw the ball well for the Cannon Ballers. The southpaw threw five scoreless innings without allowing a hit, struck out three and walked one.
Tyler Schweitzer
Tyler Schweitzer was yet another Cannon Ballers starter that stymied the Woodpeckers lineup last week. Schweitzer's full stat line is below.
Drew McDaniel
Drew McDaniel was the final piece of the dominant Ballers starting pitching last week. As mentioned below, McDaniel only allowed one baserunner before an error eventually saw an unearned run come around to score.
