Baseball in Fort Wayne

Word over at MadFriars is Mat Latos – yes the same Mat Latos who started the year at Fort Wayne – is getting called up to San Diego in the near future. He’ll become the first player who wore both a Wizards and TinCaps jersey to make his MLB debut. More on this as it develops. Congratz Mat!

The San Diego Padres will call up right-hander Mat Latos to the big leagues in the coming days. On Monday he put together an impressive performance at the Futures Game.

Latos hit 96 mph five times during an eight-pitch inning, netting two ground outs and a fly out in his lone inning of work at the Futures Game.

He has not allowed a run in four of his nine starts across two leagues and has given up two runs or less in seven of those. He had a perfect game through five innings in his last outing with San Antonio before being removed due to pitch count.
