Padres MiLB August 29, Players of the Day

Ground-rules: you won’t see a too-old-for-his-league non-prospect get an award. The award may not go to the best performance of the previous night, but what I deem the most significant performance of the night…

Minor League Pitcher of the Day

Other Commentary

I really like Jackson Quezada. He has appeared in 58 games for the Wizard going 2-4 with 27 saves. He has thrown 62.2 innings and allowed only 42 hits and 1 home run. He also boasts a 19/77 walk/strikeout ratio. The Midwest League does lean pitcher-friendly so it will be interesting to see how he performs next year…
