I threw 140 pitches in my final college baseball game. I hope with all my heart there is another Mariners game this week I’ll need to summon the words for.

Daniel Espino returns and he looked solid.
21 pitches-15 strikes
96-98. Was in the zone and in control. Showed off a cutter/slider, curve and some changeups. Very good stuff for a guy with 2 shoulder surgeries and not pitching since April of 2022
Successful return

Jesus Made is reportedly heading to Double-A. Here he is from last night in South Bend. The power is not there yet, but he's only 18 and has elite bat control in the profile. Future star for the Brewers.
