Lucas Sims was standing on a headrest when the Carolina Mudcats team bus crashed on its right side in the wee hours of Tuesday morning, May 12. So when he says this minor league season has been “a roller coaster,” it doesn’t sound all that cliche.
Sims was one of the six Mudcats’ players who landed on the disabled list after the bus accident, and all but one of them (Tyler Brosius) are active again. Not only has Sims returned to the mound in recent weeks, he just got promoted to Double-A Mississippi.
