Great to hear. Kind of surprised they started him in single A ball.

If his arm can hold up, that nasty curve of his can take him a long way.
Tulane is the University of Louisiana
Glad to see him having success. Not surprised. Hoping for the best for him.

I was told quite a few years ago that a good D1 college pitcher should still start at single-A, but move up quickly. Things have changed rapidly the last few years as MLB teams' minor league systems have fewer teams. Today, college pitchers picked high are expected to contribute at the MLB level within 2 years, often much sooner.

Early indications for the Angels are promising, even if things at the big-league level are going south yet again: Nine pitchers from last year’s draft have made up a bulk of the Rocket City staff this season, including Silseth, Bachman, Jones, Murphy, Ky Bush, Brett Kerry, Eric Torres, Braden Olthoff and Mason Erla.

Interesting name no doubt. There is one team named the y'alls in the minors. I think they are located in Kentucky. Would have been an appropriate name here for our minor league team.
