Rookie of the Year? 🤔

Bruce Zimmermann: 5 IP, 2 H, 0 ER, 3 BB, 6 K

Tides allow 2 in the top of the 9th with two outs to fall in this one.

Dripping with confidence every time he takes the mound, RHP Yaqui Rivera has 5 strikeouts through his first 3 IP this season, and a 0.00 ERA.

He's coming off a year where he posted a 2.52 ERA, .171 BAA, and 68 K in 50 IP between A/A+.

All three strikeouts from last night:

Yet another pro debut and yet another solid performance from a Delmarva starting pitcher.

RHP Nestor German, an 11th round pick out of Seattle last year, pitched 3 no-hit innings with 3 K in his pro debut last night.

RHP Zach Fruit, a 9th round pick of the Orioles last year out of Troy, made his pro debut last night for High-A Aberdeen:

4 IP, 5 H, 1 R, 0 BB, 4 K. 7 groundball outs.

Fruit has a deep five-pitch mix and was hitting 99mph with ease last year at Troy.

On The Verge #BabyBird of the day for 4/10:

It was Hodo’s 2024 debut and his first career home run.
