The Gwinnett Stripers celebrated a significant victory over the Nashville Sounds, marked by standout performances from Luke Waddell, Nathan Wiles, and Amos Willingham. Waddell contributed with three hits and RBIs, while Wiles pitched four hitless innings. Willingham impressed as a reliever, pitching three scoreless innings and striking out five. Despite being overshadowed by their major league counterparts, these players showcased potential for future contributions to the Atlanta Braves, especially with Willingham being eyed for a potential spot in their bullpen this season.
Unlike their big league counterparts, it was W's all around for Gwinnett on Tuesday as Luke Waddell, Amos Willingham and Nathan Wiles carried the Stripers to their second win of the season.
Coming into this season a few baseball pundits tossed around the idea that Willingham could eventually work his way into the Atlanta bullpen and actually be a significant piece.
Wiles doesn't have much to offer in terms of standout pitches or velocity, but he managed to make things work as he tossed four hitless innings.
Willingham's stuff plays up due to his pitches having the tendency to have a higher vertical break and a significant vertical drop as well.
