Chase Petty Strikes Out Seven On Wednesday
Cincinnati Reds pitching prospect Chase Petty struck out seven batters across six shutout innings on Wednesday evening. Petty allowed just one hit and two free passes. Since allowing six runs in his season debut, Petty has been very effective with Triple-A Louisville. Over his last 19 2/3 innings (four outings), Petty has posted a strong 1.37 ERA with a 1.12 WHIP. During this stretch, the former 26th overall pick has served up just seven walks and struck out 23 batters. Last season, the No. 6-ranked prospect in the system spent most of his time with Double-A before earning a brief taste of Triple-A. During his first look at the top level of the minor leagues, the right-hander logged 10 innings of two-run ball. Given his current production, Petty should be in the mix to make his MLB debut later this season.
