Former undrafted free agent Max Bain made his third start for the South Bend Cubs against the Dayton Dragons Wednesday night and I was impressed with how he held his own. It can’t be easy to go undrafted, then retool your body and the way you pitch while going from the D2 level in college to debuting in high-A.
In his first start, Bain gave up a walk and home run to open the game and then proceeded to calm down over the next three frames. In Beloit last Thursday, Bain went 4.2 innings and allowed three runs.
