Since I was on recap duty and it was not very fun, I am going to talk about AJ Smith-Shawver today, and he is absolutely shoving in the minors this season. The 20 year old is putting up legitimate Spencer Strider level strikeout numbers in the minors and made his first full double-A start Saturday after his first start was shortened by a rain delay. He was promoted from high-A after only 14.0 innings at the level due to the dominance he was showing and has not given up a run now through 21.0 innings this season across the two levels.
