Mick Abel Nearly Perfect In Six Innings Thursday
Mick Abel spun a gem against Triple-A Syracuse on Thursday, allowing just one hit and one walk across six scoreless innings. He struck out four. Abel made his first start at Triple-A since being optioned on July 4, and it was a beauty. The right-hander wasn't as effective over his last five starts with the Phillies, posting a 6.63 ERA, 1.53 WHIP, and just a 3.5 percent strikeout-minus-walk rate in 19 innings. He wasn't missing any bats, and his command had escaped him a bit. Abel still has a wide arsenal with multiple pitches grading out above average by Stuff+, and there will likely be an opportunity for him to rejoin the Phillies later this season. That could come in a starter or relief role, with the latter limiting his fantasy appeal.
