On his latest stop of a quick ascent through the Minor Leagues, Brandon Sproat continues to go right at hitters. Sproat allowed just. Sproat allowed just two baserunners via a single and a walk while getting through seven frames for the Rumble Ponies for the third time. Sager said.
The Binghamton staff haven't tinkered with Sproat's arsenal, but Sager said there have been conversations with the year-old about how to effectively command his grade changeup against both types of hitters -- sort of an untraditional take on that pitch. He doesn't take away one of his best weapons just because they're right-handed, so I thought he has done a nice job of mixing that pitch in.
After a pair of groundouts in the third, Sproat fanned his fifth hitter to conclude a perfect first trip through the order. Andrew Pinckney beat out an infield single with two outs in the fourth, but catcher Francisco Alvarez -- who is on a Major League rehab assignment -- caught the Nationals' No.
He's actually going about it in a very professional way, and guys see that. The Florida product fielded a sacrifice bunt by J. He's shown that he can hold his velocity, can hold his quality of his pitches. Through his fourth start, Sproat improved his ERA to 1. He's making hitters deal with it, and so far, it's been successful.
