Caden Crask-Weeks returns to the mound for his second start<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n


\n<\/span>After losing to the Woodchucks 11-10 in an 11 inning game, the Rockers look to bounce back with one of their best pitchers making his second start. Caden Crask-Weeks pitched for the Rockers last Tuesday.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In that start in Wisconsin Rapids, Crask-Weeks went five scoreless frames, only allowing a couple of hits and one run. His long inning ability is something he has carried over with him from last season with Green Bay.<\/span><\/p>\n

He features a fastball, slider, changeup and slider. His pitch mix is something that has kept hitters off balance all throughout his Northwoods League career. He generates soft contact and ground balls at a high rate.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For Wausau it\u2019ll be Hunter Maddox. He also has one start on the season in which he went 3.2 innings and allowed two runs. Green Bay has played a lot of left handed bats in the early going of the 2026 season, and today that could pay off for Josh Merrill\u2019s squad.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The lefties have begun to utilize a great opposite field approach while maintaining that pull side power. Zach Novakowski has been hitting the ball hard lately and could be a big part of the success for the bottom of the order against Maddox.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
