In three appearances, St. Louis Cardinals prospect, Rowan Wick, recorded 2.1 innings with a 15.43 ERA and four walks. That is not exactly what the Cardinals were hoping for out of the converted catcher when they added him to the 40-man roster to protect him from the Rule 5 Draft.
If there is one silver lining that the stats show, it is the .125 that opposing hitters have against Wick. Sure, it is a small sample size, but it is encouraging to see that number be low. It isn’t easy to convert to a pitcher and just have control, but when Wick is around the plate he is not getting hit that hard.
