Notes from a few minor league games I took in this week at Frawley Stadium in Wilmington, Delaware:
The Washington Nationals took right-hander Erick Fedde in the first round in 2014 shortly after the UNLV pitcher had Tommy John surgery, which took him out of contention for a possible top 10 selection. He started for the Potomac Nationals on Sunday and showed two above-average pitches, but lacked the third weapon he needs to profile as a big-league starter.
Fedde is lean and athletic, coming from a slot a little under ¾, starting on the third-base side of the rubber but staying on line to the plate.
