Brandon Waddell has been talked about a lot on this site as he has really done well so far this year. This news from the Pittsburgh Pirates comes after being absolutely dominant in his last start. He threw 6 strong innings for the High-A Marauders. In those innings he struck out seven players while walking none. The thing that made him so effective last in his last start was his ability to get ahead in the count and keep the ball down.
On the year Waddell at High-A Bradenton he possessed a 0.93 ERA. His strikeout to walk ratio was very impressive sitting at 26 strikeouts to two walks.
