CUBS PROMOTE ASCHENBECK TO HIGH-A SOUTH BEND
Well that didn't take long. The Chicago Cubs have promoted LHP Evan Aschenbeck to High Class-A affiliate, the South Bend Cubs.
Aschenbeck, who is a former Brenham Cub, Blinn Buccaneer, and Texas A&M Aggie, had pitched three games so far this season for the low-Class A affiliate, the Myrtle Beach Pelicans.
In those three games, he made two starts and one relief appearance going 1-0 with a 0.00 ERA. In 14 1/3 innings pitched, he allowed seven hits, only one unearned run, four walks, and struck out 16 batters. He also held opposing batters to a .146 average.
Aschenbeck is in his first full season of professional baseball after helping to lead Texas A&M to the College World Series last season. He was drafted by the Chicago Cubs last summer.
Way to go Evan even though I am writing this from my hotel room in Myrtle Beach where I am teaching classes tomorrow, Was planning to go see Evan and the Pelicans tomorrow night. Now I guess I’ll have to go to South Bend to see him play.
He is off to a great professional start,
Not wasting any time! Way to go Evan!
