This is California's 'worst' intersection, Reddit users say

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 05:11:46 GMT

His hitting was all but shut down following his promotion, and now in the AFL will shift gears. His pitching progression is complete for the season, farm director Kyle Haines said, so his focus in the fall league will be on getting hitting reps.The other first-rounder is right-hander...
