There's a new candidate for "Fastest Kernel" on the Cedar Rapids ballclub these days.
His name is Jeremias Pineda, a 22-year-old outfielder from the Dominican Republic who has speed to burn.
Pineda joined the Kernels Tuesday from extended spring training and made his presence felt Wednesday night as Cedar Rapids split a Midwest League doubleheader with the Burlington Bees before 1,603 fans at Veterans Memorial Stadium.

As a veteran high school track official, Jim Patterson is a stickler about holding up cards to let runners know how many laps they have to go in the long distance races.
“When I was a senior in high school I got fifth in the mile run at the state meet,” explains the 71-year-old longtime Cedar Rapids teacher and athletic official. “And let me tell you how that happened. It was at the old Fieldhouse in Iowa City on the 220 track, and it took eight laps to make a mile.
“Well, the officials messed up. Some kids ran seven laps, some ran nine. They had two heats, a fast one and a slow one, and they decided to declare winners from each heat.

Adam Brett Walker's father played football in the NFL and his mother was a national high jump champion in college, so the odds were pretty good he'd turn out to be a quality athlete himself.
The Minnesota Twins and Cedar Rapids Kernels are glad he chose baseball.
Walker blasted a grand slam that cleared the batter's eye in center field and traveled about 450 feet Tuesday to help the Kernels trim the Burlington Bees, 5-4, before 2,265 fans at Veterans Memorial Stadium.

New Cedar Rapids Kernels catcher Michael Quesada made a mistake last year when he used a banned substance and paid a steep price with a 50-game suspension.
He takes full responsibility for what happened and is grateful to the Minnesota Twins organization for standing behind him and giving him a second chance.
Quesada, 23, arrived in Cedar Rapids Monday and was placed on the Kernels' 25-man roster for Tuesday night's game against the Burlington Bees at Veterans Memorial Stadium.
