Yeah, Roegner #1 in ERA in the Carolina League (Trey Supak #2). He is more like 10-15 in WHIP though whereas Supak is second in that stat too.

I was at the game tonight and he seems legit. Not exactly a hard thrower but he's no Suter either. He hit 94 a few times but I'd say he sat between 88 and 92. The guy just pounds the strike zone relentlessly with all of his pitches. He educes a lot of weak contact by mixing his pitches well. We were down the line a bit but it looked like at least a change/curve/fastball repertoire. Mechanics are easy and repeatable. He did get hit hard when he made a mistake but he never really made more than one in any given inning (and often none). He worked him self into a couple of small jams but was able to work himself out of them. Definitely not a flashy pitcher but he gets results. Time will tell if can sustain at higher levels.

[LouisEly]

Quite the pitching performance for the entire minor league org tonight. Three teams held to one run, one team shut out, four wins.

 

Has anyone seen Jankins in person recently or have a recent scouting report? I would guess that he has added a very effective pitch.

Roegner Tosses Seven Shutout Frames in 5-1 Win

Weston Wilson went 4-for-4 and Cam Roegner lowered his league leading ERA to just 0.89

 

 

A strong start from Cam Roegner led the Mudcats to the win. He had a line that was a little odd with only two hits but also only one strikeout. He had 10/5 ground outs to fly outs. I think they considered sending him out for the eighth but when the Mudcats half of the 7th ran a little long they decided against it. I only started watching in the 6th but his breaking ball looked a little flat to me compared to other times I have seen him and maybe that's why the K's were down today. Not a big strikeout guy anyway though. As mentioned, he leads the Carolina League in ERA (with Trey Supak second). However, with Supak also second in WHIP and Roegner down aroung the 10-15 rank in that stat, maybe there's a little bit of luck involved there. Alec Kenilvort finished the game up.

 

Weston Wilson had a four hit night to lead the offense.

 

Cam Roegner 7 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K

Final: Wisconsin 6, Great Lakes 0

 

Rattlers Beat Great Lakes 3-1 to Earn the Sweep

Wisconsin wins with just three hits

By Chris Mehring / Wisconsin Timber Rattlers

 

 

GRAND CHUTE, WI - The Wisconsin Timber Rattlers completed a three-game sweep of the Great Lakes Loons at Neuroscience Group Field at Fox Cities Stadium with a 3-1 win on Saturday afternoon in front of 4,670 fans.

 

Great Lakes (10-23) scored a run in the first inning and threatened to get a lot more against Wisconsin starting pitcher Christian Taugner. Brandon Montgomery started the game with a double on the first pitch Taugner made. A sacrifice bunt moved Montgomery to third base. Montgomery beat the throw home on a grounder to second off the bat of Romer Cuadrado and the Loons were up 1-0.

 

The next two Loons hitters had singles to load the bases, but Taugner escaped the inning with a strikeout and a flyout to hold Great Lakes to a single run.

 

Wisconsin (16-19) scored a run without the benefit of a hit in the bottom of the first inning to tie the game. Great Lakes starting pitcher walked Tristen Lutz with one out, made an errant pickoff, and threw a wild pitch to let Lutz get around to third base. KJ Harrison drove in Lutz with a sacrifice fly to even the score.

Taugner went into cruise control over his next five innings. The right-hander allowed two hits after his shaky first inning and at one point he retired 13 in a row to keep the game even while the Wisconsin offense struggled to get anything going.

 

The game was still tied 1-1 heading to the top of the seventh inning when Jose Cuas took over for Taugner and he allowed the first three batters to reach base on a double, a single, and a hit batsman. Cuas escaped the jam with a flyout to shallow center, a strikeout, and a liner to third that was caught.

 

The Rattlers were able to cash in on their opportunity in the seventh inning. Devin Hairston walked and Joantgel Segovia was hit by a pitch to start the inning. A balk by Loons reliever Riley Ottesen allowed both runners to move into scoring position. Lutz sent a fly ball deep enough to score Hairston with the go-ahead run. Harrison bought the Rattlers some insurance with a two-out, RBI double to drive in Segovia and the Rattlers were up 3-1.

 

The Loons loaded the bases again in the top of the eighth inning against Cuas on two walks and a hit batsman. Michael Peterson relieved Cuas to get the final out.

 

Rodrigo Benoit entered the game for the top of the ninth inning from the Wisconsin bullpen and retired the first two batters he faced. However, Benoit hit Brayan Morales on a 1-2 pitch and walked Cuadrado on a 3-2 pitch to put the tying runs on board. Benoit picked up his third save of the season by getting Jared Walker to popout to center to close out the game in front of the largest home crowd of the season.

 

The Timber Rattlers have won nine straight games over the Loons. Wisconsin swept a three-game series from Great Lakes at home in 2016, a three-game series at Dow Diamond in Midland, Michigan in 2017, and this season's three-game series.

 

Wisconsin finished their first half schedule of twelve games against the Eastern Division with nine wins.

 

The Rattlers are off on Sunday. They continue their long homestand when they return to action on Monday night with a game against the Beloit Snappers. Wisconsin has named Alec Bettinger (1-3, 5.04) as their starting pitcher on for game one of the five-game series. Game time is 6:35pm.
