The story last week was the sheer dominance shown by Luke Sinnard, who appeared in a few games and was sensational, striking out six in a total of five innings pitched. He combines a mid-90s 2600 RPM fastball with a 700 RPM splitter that hits about 83 MPH, with total separation of almost 12 MPH, along with a strong slider. He, Jacob Kroeger and LJ McDonough all had very successful weeks, while Trent Buchanan and Cory Wall struggled in their stints. Jhancarlos Lara also appeared in a few appearances, with his fastball still sitting in the upper 90s and touching 101.
