"They turn to Jhancarlos Lara who is getting more work in on his improved two seamer as Lara continues to build his case for a Major League roster spot. His last outing was on August 28th where he pitched 2.2 innings, 2 innings of which is cruised. After speaking with someone close to the team, it's safe to assume that the team values Lara as a reliever, but with his arm strength, he can work multiple innings and refine his repertoire."
"Drue has struggled with his mechanics, and command, which has resulted in extremely rough numbers. That being said, he's looked much improved since the start of August. In five starts, Drue didn't give up more than three earned runs in a single outing, and while the walk numbers aren't great, he's not giving up as many hits and is generating more whiffs. His last start against Montgomery came back on August 2nd (4IP 4H 3ER 1BB 2K)."
"Following last night's win, Rome turn to Luke Sinnard as they look to win game 2 of the series after being throttled 11-3. Luke has had a strong 2024 season, absolutely dominating in Augusta before taking some time but now adjusting nicely to Rome. Luke's last time out was against the Winston-Salem Dash on August 27th, where he performed admirably (6IP 5H 2r 1ER 3BB 7K)."
Jhancarlos Lara is being used by the Stripers to build a Major League roster case, focusing on an improved two-seamer and multi-inning relief ability after a 2.2-inning outing on August 28. Stripers offense has improved following the promotion of David McCabe, acquisition of Jesùs Bastidas, and the return of Luke Waddell, though the team managed only five hits in a recent game. Drue Hackenberg is working to rebound from mechanical and command issues, showing steadier outings since August with fewer hits and more whiffs. Luke Sinnard dominated in Augusta and adjusted well to Rome, posting a strong August 27 start.
