The Charlotte Knights’ campaign for International League supremacy began Thursday night with Reynaldo Lopez serving as Opening Day starter, Yoan Moncada batting second, and Zack Burdi pitching out of the bullpen. Not to mention Adam Engel, Rymer Liriano, Nicky Delmonico and a bunch of other guys who nearly made the White Sox big league roster.
Moncada went 3-for-6 with three solidly hit singles, a walk, a stolen base, two strikeouts, and two runs scored. Reports from the game have him sticking pretty close to the scouting report.
Moncada is 2-4 tonight. Crushed 2 fastballs but has looked lost on breaking stuff in last 2 at bats
