He began 2019 with the Bowling Green Hot Rods, was their Opening Day starter,[11] and earned Midwest League All-Star honors.[12] He was promoted to the Charlotte Stone Crabs in June after posting a 4-4 record in 11 appearances (10 starts) with a 3.40 ERA and 74 strikeouts in 53 innings pitched.[13]
