Caleb Thielbar

I was out of town for Caleb's first run allowed, does it still count? Caleb gave up a solo HR ending the dream of a career ERA of 0.00 but it was an impressive start to his Major League career.

On a separate note, Caleb lost his grandmother and he will be going on a bereavement leave Thursday and return to the Twins on Sunday. Keep his family in your thoughts and prayers during this time.

Mr. Thielbar (as he has earned that level of respect) has established himself as a major league reliever but since he was adopted as a prospect at the beginning of this year his page begs for occasional attention.

He has spent more time in the majors this year than in Rochester and he's posted a 0.89 ERA in 31 MLB appearances over 30.1 innings. He has made a total of 48 appearances between AAA and the Majors pitching 56.2 total innings. That makes his season ERA 2.54 which seems more human but is excellent on its own merit. Looking a little deeper, he has 61 Strike Outs to 19 walks. My personal favorite stat is opponents BA. Mr Thielbar has an MLB Opponents BA Of .120. NICE!!!

Wednesday was an example of a bad day that started with defensive mistakes which in this case included a failure by Mr. Thielbar to cover home allowing a run. I love that he took ownership of it, recognized how egregious the mistake was and pledged to not repeat that error. I am loving having this young man in our uniform and see him as part of a promising future to replace a bad present day team.

MLB stats for the year... 34.1 innings in 38 appearances allowing 6 runs, 4 earned for a 1.05 ERA. Concerning stat in all this is only credited with one hold which had seemed to be aAAA strength of his
