All Hands on Deck: Morgantown starts play as good starting pitching abounds

SS Robbie Glendinning started the year at Double-A Altoona after jumping from Low-A in 2018 and played nine games before being dropped back down to High-A Bradenton when Oneil Cruz went out with a fractured foot. After hitting 340/392/599 in 43 games for the Marauders, usually batting third or fourth in the lineup, he’s back up to Altoona. Hopefully this might also mean Cruz is close to returning, but for now his spot was filled by 2B Francisco Acuna who’d been in Extended Spring Training.

LF Logan Hill, after 199 games over parts of three seasons at Double-A Altoona will finally get his first taste of Triple-A, as he’s promoted to Indianapolis after hitting 284/356/447, despite only four home runs after hitting 16, 18 and 17 each of the last three seasons.
