Here's some positive news:
Yordano Ventura's last two starts at AA:
11 IP | 20 K | 5 BB (higher than you'd like to see) | 3 H | 0 R | 0 ER
For the year (six starts):
29 1/3 IP | 43 K | 11 BB | 19 H | 7 R | 6 ER
Works out to an ERA under 2, a K:9 of 13.2, a WHIP of 1.02, and a K:BB of 3.91:1.
Awesome. It would appear his mastery of AA is nearly complete. Next step for him will either be elevating him to Omaha, unless they want him to refine his off-speed pitches some more. I could see him left at Omaha a ittle while longer and told to pitch backwards more often.
Either way, he could be a nice weapon to call up in September and use out of the bullpen.
