the jump to the highest level of a ball has not slowed chris perry...

in 8 games for palm beach, he has given up 1 hit in 7.1 ip and struck out 8 to go with 2 walks and 3 saves

his season line so far is as follows:

4-0, 6 sv, 56.1 ip, 12 er, 1.92 era, 88 k, 17 bb, 30 h, .83 whip, 14.06 k/9, .150 baa

austin chrismon (cnu) is having a solid season, as well - he's still in short season a ball in the ny/penn league, but is 4-2 with a 3.27 era and 31 k's in 41.1 ip

kevin herget (kean), the other d3 pitcher we've talked about on these boards from that draft class is having a nice season, too - he's at low a peoria and is 5-3 with a 3.26 era and 78 k's in 58 ip - his strikeout rate, which was one of my concerns last year, has more than doubled this year despite being at a higher level of play

good to see these d3 guys having success

the monarchs start the season 2-1, losing 4-3 to mcmurry and then beating lynchburg 8-2, and cnu 15-5 to finish out the weekend - nice way to start the season for the boys

Mcmurry still has scholar athlete's correct? I saw that they beat LC as well.

the monarchs fall to 3-3 with 3 one-run losses...2 of the walk-off variety this weekend - the monarchs are pounding out runs in bunches, scoring 8, 15 and 15 in their three wins, and 3, 1 and 3 in their losses - pitching has been pretty consistent, giving up more than 4 runs (5) just once in six games - so close to being undefeated...this young team needs to learn to win the close games

Narch what has happened to inman. Not getting any starts. Only pitched 3 innings this year.  Is he injured?

Yes. I believe they have a few.

still struggling a bit with injuries and command - if he can get right, the monarchs arms could be among the best in the conference...

here is a great article, with video, about former monarch chris perry: http://www.vivaelbirdos.com/cardinals-minor-leagues/2015/2/22/8084151/future-redbirds-top-25-prospects-for-2015--chris-perry

Great article on Perry. I will continue to follow him. Yes your right about inman.  If he finds his command Methodist will have one of the best pitching staffs in the conference. Top to bottom. Looking forward to the rest of season. Maybe the weather will begin to cooperate.

the monarchs split a pair of lopsided games with emory on saturday, winning 20-1 and losing 10-2...gotta get out of this win one, lose one pattern...

[baseballfever]

Big series this weekend for MU. If they can pull out 3 wins over Huntingdon it will be huge.
