TY-NAMIC: At 6-foot-9, RHP Tyler Stuart struck out 9 in Game 2 on Saturday and has been as consistent and imposing as any starting pitcher in the South Atlantic League in 2023...The 23-year-old permitted just 2 earned runs over 25.1 frames (0.71 ERA) in 5 starts during May...Stuart leads all qualifiers in the  SAL, High-A, and all of Minor League Baseball in ERA (1.47)...The Kankakee, Ill. native leads the league in LOB% (86.8%) and FIP (2.65), 2nd in xFIP (3.27), 5th in strikeout rate (30.5%), 6th in strikeouts per 9 innings (11.20), and 9th in batting average against (.227).
