The Kane County Cougars are 6-2, mostly behind strong pitching from some of the pitching prospects there. As impressive as Jon Duplantier has been in 2 starts, Sam McWilliams has been equally as impressive. Initially acquired after the 2015 season from the Phillies for Jeremy Hellickson, the tall and lanky sinker baller had a solid season in Kane County last year. This year, he’s started off with a pair of scoring outings.
