This is mostly correct, but the MKE Tailgate guys have pointed out in years past that K/BB rates in spring often carry over and can be a sign of a breakout or the opposite 

True, there are underlying stats that can sometimes display a breakout but they’re usually on the pitching side and don’t happen in the first couple of weeks of ST.

2 games. 2 SBs by Wiemer and 2 SB attempts by Frelick(1 successful other I'd have replayed it)  games are going to be so much more active with the trio of OFs on the basebaths on top of at the plate. Wiemer had an 8pitch AB for a single I believe before the SB.

Turang with a RISP single and RBI.

Yeah that Frelick one was interesting, particularly because if he'd gone hands first he'd have made it no question, the speed is quality but Wiemer is impressing me. I think he hasn't struck out yet which is a huge thing for him, he seems like he really really tightens up from a wild hack to a more polished approach on two strikes

Some of the kids are killing it today

 

[Brewcrew82]

I’m assuming that even though he’s not on the roster or an NRI that we’ll see Chourio in a spring game considering Herbert Pérez, Blavk, etc. played today?

[MVP2110]

Seeing the young guys get off to a fast start this spring is super fun

[Brewcrew82]

Could take our bullpen to a whole new level if the control gains he showed in the AFL are for real.

Devin Williams, Uribe, Strzelecki, and Cousins as a new generation of Nasty Boys?

Yep. Funny thing is the fastball, which is 70/80, isn't even Uribe's best pitch.

That be nice if they can have that dominant pen 

[Jake McKibbin]

Joey Wiemer - 7 PA's, 0 Strikeouts

 

He'll never strikeout again

[Jake McKibbin]

Other interesting members of the "I dont K" club

 

William Contreras (though a few too many grounders so far)

Sal Frelick

Brice Turang

 

On the other side of the faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar too early stats

 

Adames has struck out 3 times in 6 AB's, and Keston is where he left off with a 40% K Rate

[DR28]

IF this is the player Mitchell is, my god we will have the best young OF in MLB.

Chourio in LF, Mitchell in CF, Wiemer in RF

And if again this is the Mitchell we're getting... Frelick is traded for best offer.

Good to see all the young guys mashing...but you know CC is going to play the Vets over them and make us all mad in a couple months right? :)

[MVP2110]

game is on TV today.

CC also said Tyrone Taylor could miss opening day

I think you are getting Ken Macha confused with CC.  There really hasn't been a younger player who hasn't played when deserving to be played under CC. 

[homer]

I feel like ST says more about pitchers than hitters. So if a guy has lost/gained a few ticks on his fastball or has flashed a new pitch that seems to work....that kind of thing.

Dodgers lose Gavin Lux for the season…….tough break for the Wisconsin kid

 

[markedman5]

Yelich with a rocket double to right off of Smiley in first AB

Brain Anderson had a lead off homer in the 2nd

Frelick with a booming double to right center.

Now Rowdy sends one into orbit……3-0 brew crew

Justin Yeager has some nasty stuff. If he can figure out the command then you have a very solid RP.
