"With this week being the last we'll see of several of this year's minor league mainstays, it's understandable to hear me say "five scoreless, great final showing" a few times and think it redundant. But this is a team - nay, a farm - stocked with rotation arms who have all raised their stock over the course of the season."
"Tyler Uberstine, whose stats can be found here and who, like yesterday's subject, Shane Drohan, is eligible for the Rule 5 draft if not protected, ran into a bit more trouble in some outings, but still earned a promotion this year. The Red Sox promoting three pitchers in the last month brought some finality to the question of whether Uberstine would make his MLB debut in 2025, but this was a great last showing of the season."
"And pull ahead the Woosox did; in fact, they wasted almost no time doing so. Wednesday night wasn't a night for power for Worcester, as they had just two extra-base hits among their ten knocks, with those hits coming from an unlikely duo in Max Ferguson and Chadwick Tromp. The former drove Tyler McDonough and Corey Rosier through, and in just the second inning, gave Worcester all the support they'd need for the rest of the night."
"On a night when Kristian Campbell, in right field, gathered two knocks of his own, and a night whwn a guy who has been bouncing between Worcester and Boston for most of the season (Nick Sogard,whose versatility and contact batting skills I celebrate) had the walk-off RBI, it's worth wondering what the long-term plan is with the Campbell, who's now locked in until at least 2032 but doesn't have a position."
Several minor league mainstays finish the season while multiple Worcester rotation arms raised their stock. Tyler Uberstine earned a promotion despite some rocky outings, striking out six and allowing three hits with no runs in his strong final appearance. A bullpen that held Rochester scoreless until the ninth set up a 2-0 series lead. Worcester produced timely offense with two extra-base hits from Max Ferguson and Chadwick Tromp and ten hits overall. Kristian Campbell hit well in September and lacks a defined defensive position despite being signed through 2032. Nick Sogard delivered a walk-off RBI.
