yeah...recently he rejoined Memphis and is scheduled to start a throwing program. That's all we have for now. I guess he needed R&R for his shoulder??? I'm guessing there, but I do know that no procedures happened on his shoulder.

thanks -- good news i guess?? or ominous? if he is throwing right handed during his rehab we will learn more.

Palm Beach 0, St. Lucie 0 ; Bot 2nd

Drew Rom ~ 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 4 K ... ...Topped 92mph on his 3rd K in the 2nd inning, then hit 93.6mph(94mph) with his 4th K... Not typical Rom

Travis Honeyman ~ 1-1, Single

The Oat Milkers unis aren't that bad. White with black lettering and shoulder highlights.

Rom is too good for the level.
Topping out at 92/93 and with good location.

Looks like just two innings.

Travis Honeyman ~ 1-1, Single
Christian Martin ~ 0-1...ground out to 1B
Luis Pino ~ 1-1, Single
Deniel Ortiz ~ 1-1, Single...oppo grounder into RF, hit it where they aren't,
Jose Cordoba ~ 0-1...GIDP

Nolan Sparks...one of my favorite draftees from 2024, on to relieve ROm. Sparks was awesome in late relief to help Palm Beach when the FSL championship last season....he's been stretched out this year, and has started 1 game

St. Lucie 1, Palm Beach 0 ; Bot 3rd

Drew Rom ~ 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 4 K
Nolan Sparks ~ 1 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 0 BB, 1 K

Deniel Ortiz ~ 1-1, Single

I guess I jinxed Sparks....Mets jumping all over his fastball. Leaving it up too much

Travis Honeyman ~ 2-2, 2 Singles....can hit it anywhere, anytime....big hole tween 2B and 1B...lines it there into RF
Luis Pino ~ 1-1, Single
Deniel Ortiz ~ 1-1, Single
Jonathan Mejia ~ 1-2, Single....hard liner into RF, 103mph EV
Cade McGee ~ 0-2, K....GIDP, 5 - 3, Mejia out at 3B. McGee is struggling
Jonathan Kross ~ 0-2...fly out to LCF.

Cards with 3 inning in a row that start well and end poorly. Can't score.

Honeyman is a prospect, good stick.

Sparks, I think, was trying to start a sinking fastball above the zone and have it finish in the zone. But the PSL guys are ready and punishing that strategy.
