MiLB Pitcher of the Day: Jacob Odle, Peoria Chiefs

By Ray Mileur

Jacob Odle is The Cardinal Chronicle’s Pitcher of the Day after delivering 5.2 scoreless innings in Peoria’s win over Beloit.

Odle allowed just two hits and two walks while striking out eight in his first start at Dozer Park. He gave the Chiefs length, swing-and-miss, and command of the game from the mound.

Brycen Mautz deserves strong mention after allowing no earned runs over five innings for Memphis, but Odle’s scoreless outing, eight strikeouts and role in a combined shutout make this an easy call.

Old School Take

This was Peoria’s night.

McGee supplied the thump. Odle supplied the pitching. The bullpen finished the job. That is how you draw it up.

Memphis had a few bright spots with Bernal and Mautz, but not enough to keep Louisville from running away late. Springfield will have to make up its rainout Sunday. Palm Beach took one on the chin against a Tampa lineup that did damage with the long ball.

Some nights the farm report is complicated.

This one was not.

Peoria carried the system.
