Luke Dykstra (Cards)

Posted by olabner on October 1, 2018October 9, 2018 in Minors, Photos, Springfield Cardinals

Strange – I scheduled this post at the end of May so I could fill out the site for each Monday I was gone. This was the final day. Now he’s somewhere else; listed as released from his Cardinal affiliate…

Conner Greene, pitcher (Cards)

Posted by olabner on September 24, 2018October 9, 2018 in Minors, Springfield Cardinals

Conner Greene was sent up to Triple-A Memphis, and won the AAA National Championship with the Redbirds. Now he’s playing in the prestigious Arizona Fall League, still throwing as hard as he can, as he once told me, breathlessly, after…

Austin Knight, pitcher

Posted by olabner on August 20, 2018October 9, 2018 in College, Missouri State, Photos

Whatever happened to Austin Knight, we will ask. He had the long hair and it hurt to watch him throw because his shoulder looked like it was displaced by each pitch. When things didn’t go well I heard him yell,…

Ben Whetstone, first baseman

Posted by olabner on August 13, 2018October 9, 2018 in College, Missouri State, Photos

Ben is still playing, and likely starting, though I haven’t seen a game of fall ball yet to confirm. Who knows what will happen by the time the season begins this spring? Good things. Perhaps new things. Or nothing but…

Logan Wiley

Missouri State pitcher, ca. 2018. I’ve checked, and he hasn’t transferred. Thank God. Don’t let this guy walk off the mound and into someone else’s dugout. He’s only a junior, so he will be here for a bit longer. by

John Privitera, second baseman

Posted by olabner on July 23, 2018October 9, 2018 in College, Missouri State, Photos

God bless John Privitera. He’s such a good hitter. He still wears those silver shoes I first saw during the Super Regionals against TCU in 2017. He is listed on the Bears roster as 5-8, which means I also gained…

Drew Millas, catcher

Posted by olabner on June 25, 2018October 10, 2018 in College, Missouri State, Photos

Drew! What a guy. He got to play in the Cape Cod League, which has about the prettiest collection of fields this side of Iowa. Hoping his hip has healed and he keeps leading the team onward, powered, as always,…

Hunter Steinmetz, centerfielder

Posted by olabner on June 18, 2018October 10, 2018 in Missouri State, Photos

Hunter got drafted by the Toronto Blue Jays in the 11th round and shipped off to Bluefield, then Vancouver(!). He gave up a year of eligibility to sign, but with his speed and strength I think it’s wise. by

Dylan Coleman, pitcher

Posted by olabner on June 11, 2018October 10, 2018 in College, Missouri State, Photos

Dylan, owner of the world’s worst haircut, was drafted as a junior by the San Diego Padres. by

Jeremy Eierman, shortstop

Posted by olabner on June 4, 2018October 10, 2018 in College, Missouri State, Photos

This guy – the best player from Warsaw since my cousin, Jerry Lumpe – or maybe Jeremy’s brother – was drafted in the second round by the Oakland A’s. (Jerry played for the Kansas City A’s at one point.) Can’t…
