He entered Saturday with a 1-5 record in 11 starts, lugging a 6.13 ERA and 1.49 WHIP into his start against Norfolk. He was roughed up again, allowing seven runs (three earned) on eight hits over three innings. Syracuse battled back from 7-2 and 10-5 deficits and scored twice in the ninth,...

Kevin Parada looked done. The 2022 No. 11 overall pick stumbled his way through the minor leagues, failing to produce an OPS above the mid-700s in any of his first three full seasons. After starting 2026 in Double-A—his third year playing at the level—and hitting .184/.298/.224/.522, there was little hope left. Then, he got promoted. It happened two days after Hayden Senger was promoted to the...
