Troy Melton was promoted to Triple-A for this one and pitched well in his debut, but the Clippers continued to trim the Hens wings, making it three straight in a tight, low scoring content.
I’ve been one of Melton’s biggest hype men on the prospect beat the past two seasons and he continues to trend in the right direction without quite putting it together enough to really start punching out as many hitters as he’s capable of getting. The right-hander has been excellent at the Double-A level this year. In 2024, Melton’s strikeout to walk numbers were strong but he allowed too many home runs.
