Showcasing some of the best pure stuff in the South Atlantic League to start the year, Medina demonstrated a marked turnaround in his last six starts, dominating opposing hitters to the tune of a 2.06 ERA and striking out 51 of 136 batters faced in that stretch (37.5%) to lower his overall season ERA to 6.00 on the season.
