Posted June 16, 201311 yr Went to the FSL All-Star game on Saturday. The one guy of ours I was really impressed with was Nick Wittgren, he came in to pitch in the 9th inning up 8-1 and struck out his first two batters(one of whom was Javier Baez of the Cubs, who is going to be a monster). The third batter made good contact but Galloway tracked the ball and made the final out just short of the warning track. I was disappointed by Nicolino. He was pretty wild. In his 1 inning he allowed a double by Yankee prospect Gary Sanchez, who eventually scored, had a wild pitch, and threw 1 or 2 pitches in the dirt for balls that the catcher was able to block. No radar in the stadium so no way of telling how hard he was throwing. Barnes only caught. I didn't even know he was in until I heard "defensive replacement for Austin Barnes..." I was pretty bummed, wanted to see what he could do at the plate. DeSclafani had a K and allowed a double to Baez in his 1 inning. Did I mention how much of a freak Baez is? My mom and brother don't watch baseball and even they were saying how they want to follow him. Galloway went 1-5 with a K. He singled and reached on an error when the infielder tried to barehand a bouncing grounder and dropped it. A couple of times he made solid contact.
