Tweets from some in attendance --

 

Bird just struck out to end the inning. This Wang from the #brewers has it working. #Yankees

 

Wang SP #Brewers has a 92-93 mph fastball a curve and a plus change-up

 

One N.L. scout told me that Wang's change-up is getting a lot of swing and misses and has lot of late life. #AFL #Brewers

 

Wang threw a cutter. Another N.L. scout tells me he doesn't like it because it's going to take longer to develop #Brewers #AFL

 

We've spent 5 complete innings talking about Wang. #Brewers #AFL14

MiLB.com:

 

Brewers left-hander Wei-Chung Wang turned in five scoreless innings for the Desert Dogs (10-15), fanning five and yielding three hits and a walk.

 

"Wang was really good," Elias Diaz (Pirates) said. "He struck out a lot of people tonight. He struck me out. His fastball and changeup were good. He threw the ball really well tonight."
