Last year I saw the Kane County Cougars about 10 times during their magical 98-win season. Most of that team wound up in Myrtle Beach this spring and the good times are continuing for that group of players. The team is currently at 29-15 and 5.5 games in front of second place Salem in the Carolina League.
For Duane Underwood, it has been a dominant move. To me, he is currently the number one starting prospect in the organization. Throwing an “easy” 96-98 this year, his 1.39 ERA is evidence of that growth. He is only 20 years old and is developing very nicely under the tutelage of pitching coach David Rosario and manager Mark Johnson in both 2014 and 2015.
