Minor pitched two perfect innings with two strikeouts against the Charleston Riverdogs. His showed the control he was drafted for, throwing first-pitch strikes to each of the six hitters he faced, despite not pitching since the NCAA regionals on June 1. Of his 24 pitches, 16 were strikes.

Afterward, he sounded good, too, for a Braves front office looking for a hungry young pitcher.

That was vintage Minor. Everything he throws, moves and hitters have trouble making solid contact. If a hitter has a weak spot, he can hit it. He will not blow anyone away but will give you solid pitching everytime out. He gets in trouble when has a that occasional day that his pitches don’t want to move as much. He can pitch within the strike zone as well as anyone you’ll see.

I’m not putting any stock into this, Minor was built to dominate the minors. He’s got an advanced idea of what to do as well as good secondary pitches meaning he’ll easily get the lower level guys out. Once he starts facing hitters with strong plate discipline and know what they want to do each at bat, then I’ll give him credit if he succeeds. But him mowing down A ball hitters is not any kind of sign
