Barry Enright to get the call.

Right-hander Barry Enright will get the call from Double-A Mobile to start against the Cardinals on Wednesday.

Enright has gained a reputation in the organization as much for his ability to swing the bat as for his tendency to pound the strike zone.

Let’s start with his pitching. He’s not a big stuff guy – he throws his fastball in the 88-92 range – and also features a slider, curve and change-up. But he’s aggressive with it, pounding the strike zone and hitting his spots.

Think of him in the Jon Garland/Jeff Suppan mold, with a ceiling as a solid, back-of-the-rotation type.

He’s having a strong year in his second stint with Double-A Mobile, where he has a 2.88 ERA with 83 strikeouts (and only 15 walks) in 93 2/3 innings.


Credit to Nick Piecoro for the news. One thing worth noting is Enright has the best K:BB ratio(5.53) in the Dbacks organization, slightly edging out Dan Haren's 5.23 K:BB ratio.
