Gets the win in an 8-4 Drive victory, but his recent command struggles continue. 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 3 BB, 3 K. In his last 11.2 IP (7 appearances) he was walked 18 batters. ERA 2.90 in Greenville.

Final stats between Salem and Greenville

45 G, 6-2 3.74 ERA, 7 Saves, 74.2 IP, 54 H, 31 ER 82/48 K/BB 1.37 WHIP

Struggled with his control toward the end of the year, but I would guess he has earned the right to start the season in Salem in 2017.

Pitched well but Bobby Poyner lets in the only runner Lau lets on and he gets the loss in a 4-1 Salem loss. 2.1 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 0 BB, 4 K.

Looks like he's throwing 2 innings every 3-4 days in a rotation of relievers (starters don't go very deep this early)

4/21--Throws 2 innings in a 10-3 Salem win. 2 H, 1 R (solo HR) 0 BB, 2 K. ERA 5.40

Year to date at Salem for Lau:

Team G IP W L S ERA H R ER HR BB K G/F WHIP AVG OPS
Sal 13 21.1 1 2 2 3.80 22 9 9 2 9 28 1.19 1.45 0.262 0.702

Sigh, trying to align categories to stats is no easy task here. I tried to make it a bit more readable by bolding some areas.

The good news? The control problem he had at the end of the last season seems to be under....well...control.
