Three P-Nats Make Carolina League Postseason All-Star Team

After giving away the Mills Cup to the Buies Creek Astros, the P-Nats got a semblance of consolation from the Carolina League with three players named to its 13-player postseason team: Wil Crowe, Ian Sagdal, and Rhett Wiseman.

Wil Crowe, who finished second in wins, was named as the League’s pitcher of the year despite not finishing in the top 10 in any other category. Potomac was 14-2 in his 16 appearances and scored averaged close to six runs per game for him. The just-turned-24-y.o. (Sunday) was 0-5 with a line of 6.10/6.10/1.78 in five starts at Harrisburg, where he’ll most likely begin 2019.

Sagdal, who split time between 3B and 1B, was named the League’s utility IF of the year. The 25-y.o. also won the League’s batting title at .318 and was second in on-base percentage at .373 and tied for second with 28 doubles. This season was his second in Woodbridge and one would think he’s earned a bump up to Harrisburg for next season.

Wiseman was the first P-Nat to hit 20 or more HRs since Kevin Keyes also hit 21 in 2012. The 24-y.o. from Boston was in the top 5 for HRs (21, 3rd), total bases (197, T4th), SLG% (.484, 3rd), walks (63, T4th), and OPS (.845, 3rd). Like Sagdal, Wiseman was in his second year with Potomac and should be in line to start his age-25 season at AA.

  2. Always come wintertime the phrase ” if he makes the bump to AA ” comes into play or if he avoids Rule 5 grabbing minor league portion.

    1. Pretty safe bet guys in their mid-20s who haven’t played above A-ball and don’t really have a position aren’t gonna be flying off the shelves in December.

      1. And thanks to Congress, there’s a pretty good chance some of them will be stocking shelves in December…

    Sources tell The Chronicle that A’s have been informed they won’t be back at Triple-A Nashville:

    Nats in Nashville, Braves country.

    1. That makes sense. There is a great old school fried chicken place in BNA Nashville .
      And a Mexican place called Chueys with large frogs playing mariachi instruments on the roof.
      The road is always about the food
      Look gang : spring training style A/ B pitchers in ATL last night .
      Hmmm this may mean that Nats scouts will enjoy scouting Vandy Commodore games more
