Welcome to the Prospects Live Daily Minor League Sheet where swinging 3-0 up by 100 runs is always encouraged. In fact all good things baseball will forever be celebrated here on the sheeeet. If you don’t like that I’m sure Jeff Frye has a fire new video for you to check out. Probably discusses the unwritten rules while also bragging about his “Ricky Davis triple-double” like cycle from the days before indoor plumbing. Hey don’t be mad, I’m a hall of fame level couch scout! I’m legit! Now onto the sheeeeeet.
Taylor Walls, 3B TB (Triple-A) 2-for-4, 2 RBI, 2 R
It sometimes feels like Walls is the forgotten man behind Durham teammates Wander Franco, Vidal Brujan, and Josh Lowe. While he isn’t considered that level of prospect Walls can hit and play multiple positions in the infield. He’s a versatile asset with the ability to hit for contact. An archetype the Rays seem to develop consistently.
Ryan Boldt, DH TB (Triple-A) 2-for-2, HR, 4 RBI, 2 R
He’s a well balanced player that can play all over the outfield but fits best in a corner spot. He’s been a steady contact hitter prior to this season where he seems to be selling out for power. He’s also a little old, but has a fair excuse, after undergoing Tommy John surgery at the start of 2019 and missing the season. So he’s two years removed from competitive games. He has however been getting on base at a high rate and hit the ball in the air.
Drew Strotman, RHP TB (Triple-A) 6 IP, 2 H, ER, 8 K, HR Allowed
Only needed 83 pitches to get through six, and outside of one mistake was nearly unhittable all night. He’s now the owner of a 0.56 ERA and he’s on the 40 man roster. All this to say Strotman might be another Rays starter with mid-rotation MLB upside. His stuff has held and he has a good three pitch core in his fastball, curve, and cutter. An underrated close to the majors arm with legit stuff. The zero walks last night were encouraging because up to this point his command was still below average.
Jake Burger, 3B CWS (Triple-A) 1-for-4, HR
The only blemish (outside a single) that the aforementioned Strotman allowed all night. Burger is up to four homers in the young season, good news. Now the bad, he’s hitting .220 and not walking. His has been somewhat unlucky running a BABIP below the Mendoza line (.197 heading into Tuesday). I suspect Burger’s luck will change but the lack of on base ability with his profile is concerning.
Jesus Sanchez, OF MIA (Triple-A) 1-for-4, HR
All Jesus does is bang! Another homer as he rocks a .477 average in the early going. He did strikeout twice, but overall Sanchez looks like he’s added strength and subsequently more power to his game. Go off king of kings!
Elieser Hernandez, RHP MIA (Triple-A) 3 IP, 2 BB, 4 K
A quick rehab start for Elieser who did what he was supposed to do.
Nick Neidert, RHP MIA (Triple-A) 6 IP, 6 H, 4 K
Combined with Elieser for a shutout. Came on in the fourth after Elieser hit his pitch count and silenced the Norfolk bats. Now running a 1.13 ERA with five walks to 12 strikeouts over 16 innings of work.
Owen Miller, 2B CLE (Triple-A) 2-for-4, 2 R, BB
Multi-hit games and Owen Miller, name a more iconic duo, I’ll wait. We need some guys that can make consistent contact at the MLB level and The Miller Missile might be the refreshing beverage our thirsty game needs.
Ketel Marte, OF ARI (Triple-A) 2-for-3, 2 RBI, 2 R, BB
A successful rehab assignment I’d say as the Aces put the boom stick to their cross-state rivals in some city. Is this an actual rivalry? Probably not, but I’m trying to start regional tribalism in Nevada. Leave me be.
Taylor Widener, RHP ARI (Triple-A) 4.2 IP, 3 H, 2 ER, BB, 6 K, 2 HR Allowed
Yet another rehab assignment, Widener wasn’t terrible but two homers isn’t exactly great either. I suppose the silver lining is they were both solo shots. He had a rough second inning but was otherwise good.
Matthew Liberatore, LHP STL (Triple-A) 5.1 IP, 6 H, 2 ER, 3 BB, 5 K
The middle of the two-starts for Liberatore at the Triple-A level. The command wasn’t up to its typical standards, but ultimately he limited the damage. All things considered the aggressive assignment to Memphis hasn’t been all bad.
Drew Waters, OF ATL (Triple-A) 3-for-5, 2 HR, 3 RBI, 3 R
Welcome to the party life Drew Waters! Where you been man? Most encouraging is his first homer was off a lefthander! Waters, a switch-hitter, is strong against right handed pitches but has long struggle to do damage versus lefties. Hopefully now that Waters is off the schnide he can go back to regaining some of that prospect pedigree. Love a good Eddie Murray two homer game. Best part is Waters hit the two balls to essentially the same spot in right field, going oppo for his first and then pullside for his second.
Curtis Terry, 1B TEX (Triple-A) 2-for-4, HR, 4 RBI
One of the #MassiveHuman gang crushes baseball. What else is new? The power had been on full display early but the strikeouts are worrisome. It looks like a fringe major league profile if he can make enough contact. It’s currently sitting at 67% which is below average. Major league pitching will make those holes look like canyons.
Carter Kieboom, 3B WAS (Triple-A) 1-for-2, HR
This was his first homer of the season. Yeah, it’s not going great.
Estevan Florial, OF NYY (Triple-A) 1-for-5, HR, 2 RBI
His first Triple-A homer, it’s been a rough go early on for the recently promoted outfielder. He’ll have to show improved discipline and continue to mash for this to work. It’s one of the wildest profiles in the game. While the upside is immense the contact issues are still worrisome.
Bryan De La Cruz, OF HOU (Triple-A) 2-for-3, 2 RBI, 2 R
A double donger for De La Cruz who had just 16 total MiLB round trippers coming into this game. He’s hit all season for Sugarland out of the leadoff spot and looks the part of a fourth or fifth outfielder off the bench.
Jarren Duran, OF BOS (Triple-A) 1-for-4, HR, 2 RBI, BB
All my man knows how to do is bang. A long shot to deep center field at “The Drink” in Worcester. There’s still some depth options potentially in his way (old pal Danny Santana also homered) but Duran is still an exact match for Boston’s offense.
Jeter Downs, SS BOS (Triple-A) 2-for-4, 2 RBI, R
Has been on the Struggle Bus early but seemingly is getting off that death cab for the time being. He has multi-hit games in two of his last three.
Edward Cabrera, RHP MIA (Triple-A) Injury Update
Threw a bullpen today and is planned to pitch a simulated game this weekend. He was assigned to Jacksonville and the alternate site a few weeks ago and looks close to returning should all go well.
Nolan Gorman, 3B STL (Double-A) 3-for-4, R
Not the most exciting 3-for-4, but a step in the right direction for Gorman. After starting the season 3-for-28, he’s 8-for-17 over his last four games and looks to be breaking out of an early slump. Few bats in the minors offer the sort of power upside and pure violence at the plate that Gorman does. This baby bird can #bang.
Connor Thomas, LHP STL (Double-A) 6 IP, 6 H, ER, 8 K
Thomas is doing in Double-A exactly what he did in the ACC with Georgia Tech. What’s that you ask? Move the ball around the zone, change eye levels, throw strikes and land his secondaries. Supreme command despite 30 stuff velocity on his fastball. Thomas is a pure pitchability guy.
Jonathan Bowlan, RHP KC (Double-A) 5.1 IP, 5 H, ER, 2 BB, 7 K
Having a great start to his season as he matched Thomas blow for blow to a degree. His ERA now sits a mt 1.65 and he has 23 strikeouts to 3 walks over 16.1 innings. He’s got mid to high-90s velocity and an above average slider. His changeup is below average but he makes his arsenal work with advanced command and feel for the zone.
Dermis Garcia, 1B NYY (Double-A) 1-for-4, HR, 2 RBI
Make no mistakes Mr. Skin can bop with the best of them. He’s a limited role and he’ll have to hit but there’s probably 60 juice in the bat. A limited profile that will flash moments of brilliance.
Brice Turang, SS MIL (Double-A) 2-for-5, RBI, SB
It’s been a very tough start for Turang who has failed to make much contact. Hopefully a multi-hit game and a steal is all he needs to get his motor started. There was a lot of talk about added power with Turang. Hopefully this change didn’t take his always strong bat to ball skills. Some cause for concern, but Turang is too talented a hitter to not turn it around.
Miguel Amaya, C CHC (Double-A) 2-for-4, 3 RBI, R
One of the better all-around catching prospects in the game. Amaya has the ability to impact the game on both sides of the ball and the offense has been solid, though unspectacular, in the early going.
Levi Jordan, 2B CHC (Double-A) 3-for-3, 2 R
A 29th rounder out of Mizzou back in 2018, sustained an injury in July of 2019 and missed the last few months of the season. So despite being 25, he has less than 500 minor league at bats. In the early going Jordan has been steady, flashing some contact and power tools.
Jeisson Rosario, OF BOS (Double-A) 3-for-6, R, SB
Wheels! Rosario has speed and athleticism for days. He’s a bench outfielder profile with some exciting tools. He doesn’t impact the ball much however which limits his ultimately long term role.
Otto Lopez, 2B TOR (Double-A) 3-for-5, RBI, R, 2 SB
Instant offense just add water. Lopez does nothing but hit and make plays with his leagues. He was impressive in my single look last weekend and he’s a fun player to catch live because something exciting can happen every time he’s in the box. Not huge power but he can shoot the gaps, go the other way, and has enough juice to impact respectable power totals at peak.
Gabriel Moreno, C TOR (Double-A) 1-for-5, HR, 4 RBI
One of the best catching prospects no one is talking about. Moreno has done nothing but hit so far this year as he connected for his second homer of 2021. Good skills behind the plate, bat to ball and above-average game power make Moreno a tantalizing real life prospect.
Terrin Vavra, 2B BAL (Double-A) 3-for-3, HR, 2 BB
Richmond just couldn’t get Vavra out yesterday as he hit a homer and reached base five times. It’s a plus hit tool, with average or better speed, and maybe average power that’s manifesting itself before our eyes. He’s a smart hitter with a fluid, clean swing that showcases his athleticism. He knows what pitches he can drive and he seemingly is doing an even better job of that in 2021 than he had previously. Great trade by Colorado here…
Andres Angulo, C SFG (Double-A) 2-for-4, HR, 4 RBI, 2 R
A grand slam for the Double-A battery. Not sure if there’s much here but in the early going Angulo has been showing something with the stick. I should catch Richmond later this and I’ll make sure to take notes on Angulo.
Mason Martin, 1B PIT (Double-A) 1-for-3, HR
Over a little more than 1000 minor league at bats Martin has hit 63 homers. There’s a fair amount of swing and miss and some contact concerns, but it’s still a left handed bat with top of the scale game power.
Roansy Contreras, RHP PIT (Double-A) 6.2 IP, 2 H, BB, 6 K
One of our favorite arms so far this season, I wrote the Contreras report for the Yankees board prior to the Taillon trade, I loved the fastball shape and the pair of above-average secondaries. Contreras has performance (career 3.11 ERA across 260 MiLB IP) and good on paper pitch data. Making him the rare combination breakout that checks all boxes. Some may see his height as a detriment but in the age of flat VAAs he’s a unicorn type with a sub-six foot release and a high efficiency four seamer. His 2021 numbers are just insane, a 0.00 ERA and 28 punchies to 3 walks over 17.2 IP.
Elvin Rodriguez, RHP DET (Double-A) 5.1 IP, 3 BB, 5 K
A three pitch mix that’s primarily fastball+curveball. He plays the X-Axis game with his fastball and follows it with a downer curveball. Flashes the changeup but it’s not yet a reliable pitch. So far in 2021 Elvin has yet to allow an earned run across three starts and has 19 strikeouts to just two hits and four walks.
Hans Crouse, RHP TEX (Double-A) 1 IP, K
His first work in an affiliated game since August of 2019. Crouse has had various ailments and injuries over the years and the Rangers are smart to take it slow early. Despite sounding like a striker from the Bundesliga, Crouse is a string-bean righthander with huge stuff. A plus fastball and breaking ball at peak. They both looked pretty good with the breaking ball having more of a slider look than a curveball. I did not get any reports on velocity.
Ryan Noda, OF LAD (Double-A) 2-for-4, 2 HR, 4 RBI, 3 R, BB
Missed another one by about three feet in one at bat. They did it again guys. The Dodgers found another underappreciated asset as a throw in for a spare part. Noda has major contact issues but it’s somewhat buoyed by on base ability and big monster juice.
Jake Scheiner, 3B SEA (Double-A) 3-for-5, 3 R, RBI
Acquired for Jay Bruce in June of 2019, Scheiner has been off to a hot start this season slashing .340/.392/.596. He’s also striking out a ton and running an unsustainable BABIP. Seems like an early hit streak more than a breakout, though his career minor league numbers are okay.
Peyton Burdick, OF MIA (Double-A) 3-for-5, HR, 2 RBI
It’s been tough start for my guy in the early going but this is just what Burdick needed a big ol’ Mark Grace slump buster. He started in center as well, which likely isn’t his best position but speaks to the type of skills and athleticism Burdick possesses.
Max Meyer, RHP MIA (Double-A) 5.2 IP, 5 H, BB, 9 K
In an alternate universe 2020 was a normal year and the college season was played in full. Meyer shoved the whole season for Minnesota and became the consensus number one pick. After being drafted by Detroit he’s immediately assigned to Lakeland out of the draft, where he proceeds to puke on himself every game. He leaves his first pro season with an ERA of 6.54. See, there’s some perks to this universe. As for Meyer’s night he had his slider aka Donald working all night. So far he’s looked every bit the starter we thought he was and the clubhouse leader for the best player in the 2020 draft distinction.
Ryan Weiss, RHP ARI (Double-A) 6 IP, 1 H, 8 K
His ERA is down to 0.56 through three turns in the rotation. He’s got a deep pitch mix with and possibly plus command. He has the look of a depth arm that gets some looks as a spot starter at the major league level, but his performance in the early part of 2021 is tough to ignore.
Aaron Bracho, 2B CLE (High-A) 1-for-3, 1 HR, 2 R, 2 RBI
Macho man Aaron Bracho showed off some of his power for his homer of the 2021 season. He is making consistent contact and will occasionally show some extra-base pop, just don’t expect him to be a big power threat.
Brayan Rocchio, 3B CLE (High-A) 2-for-6, 2 R, 1 SB
Tell me if you have heard this one before, a Cleveland middle infield prospect who makes contact, but has some power concerns. Rocchio and Bracho project out as very similar prospects with the bat in their hand, the main differentiators is that Rocchio has a chance to play a premium defensive position and is a better athlete.
Andy Pages, OF LAD (High-A) 2-for-5, 1 RBI, 2 SB
Pages is off to a rather slow start to the season, but the talent is still undeniably there. He has power and speed but the ultimate question for the 2018 IFA is how much contact will he make. There's a lot of blank pages in his book to fill.
Jawuan Harris, OF SD (High-A) 3-for-5, 1 2B, 3 R
Old for the level but Harris has been concisely hitting lead-off and finding the gaps to start the season. Not sure there is anything here but a good performance will get you noticed on the daily sheet.
Agustin Ruiz, OF SD (High-A) 3-for-5, 2 HR, 3 R, 8 RBI
Your guess is as good as mine on how to pronounce his first name, but hitting two homers is always noteworthy. Limited to a corner outfield spot, and with no real competition for playing time from a real prospect in the Padres High-A setup Ruiz will have every opportunity to play.
Spencer Torkelson, 3B DET (High-A) 1-for-3, 1 2B, 1 R, 2 RBI, 2 BB
Welp he didn't strike out and he scorched a double to his pull-side, is Torkelson starting to get comfortable, well only time will tell. Please Spencer.
Kameron Misner, OF MIA (High-A) 1-for-3, 1 SB
Misner has long been one who struggles to make consistent contact but also has pretty loud tools, let’s hope this is the jump start he needs to break through from his early season lul.
Blayne Enlow, RHP MIN (High-A) 5.2 IP, 3 H, 1 ER, 3 BB, 10 K
Get (En)low. Long been a personal favorite prospect of mine, Blayne is starting to perform well, striking out opposing batters at a good rate and just looking comfortable taking the ball every fifth day.
Jair Camargo, C MIN (High-A) 3-for-4, 2 HR, 2 R, 2 RBI
A catcher who can help out his pitcher on both ends has to be a pitcher's best friend. Two homers will get you noticed and he’s age appropriate for the level. After today’s game he is half-way to matching any season high for homers.
Matt Wallner, OF MIN (High-A) 1-for-4, 1 HR, 1 R, 1 RBI
Former Competitive Balance A pick back in 2019, he is known for his big-frame and his ability to hit for power, even if the contact is lackluster at times because of swing-and-miss issues. Welp in the early-going he is striking out in an alarming 45% of his plate appearances. He does have 3 homers though if you are a glass half-full type person.
Blake Hunt, C TB (High-A) 1-for-4, 1 2B, 1 R, 2 RBI
Hunt has become one of my favorite prospects after doing this sheet for a while now. Catchers like him teams are hunting for. Doing this sheet now has taught me to Hunt guys like this, I am sorry that was bad. I would almost wager that Tampa knows a thing or two about acquiring prospects over the years, bold I know.
Michael Harris II, OF ATL (High-A) 2-for-4, 1 2B, 2 R, 1 RBI
Probably the Braves best prospect at this point? Harris is continuing the good start to the season, I just still am wondering what the ultimate ceiling for him is.
Bryce Ball, 1B ATL (High-A) 2-for-3, 1 HR, 2 R, 1 RBI
The long lost Ball brother is a big boi who when he makes contact the ball can travel far. He has plus power but hit tool concerns may ultimately hamper how often we see that power manifest.
Quinn Priester, RHP PIT (High-A) 5 IP, 3 H, 0 ER, 1 BB, 4 K
After two rough outings to start the season, the Pirates 2019 first rounder had himself a solid 5 innings where he didn’t give up a run. Nothing spectacular but breaks the trend. He’s 20 years old in High-A with less than 50 innings of pro ball experience, and is a cold-weather pitcher so there is a feeling that there is more that can be squeezed out of that arm going forward.
Bryson Stott, SS PHI (High-A) 2-for-4, 1 HR, 2 R, 2 RBI
I can just imagine Stott fistpumping after hitting a bomb on the Jersey Shore, going to party with the crew and getting into precarious situations.
Cade Cavalli, RHP WAS (High-A) 6 IP, 10 H, 4 ER, 2 BB, 12 K
Cavalli experienced death by a thousand paper cuts, giving up 10 hits but only one wasn’t a single. Remarkably he still managed to strike out 12 and limited the free passes to just two. Kinda a weird statline at the end of the day.
Julio Rodriguez, OF SEA (High-A) 0-for-4
Unfortunately all good things must come to an end, and Julio’s game with a home run streak is an unfortunate loss, but it’s about the friends we make along the way.
Patrick Bailey, C SF (High-A) 1-for-4, 1 2B, 2 RBI
Bailey was off to a slow start to the season and is just now consistently catching again, after them DHing him. One of the few catchers who have a decent offensive ceiling in the minors. No Will Wilson with him on this sheet feels weird.
Kyle Stowers, OF BAL (High-A) 2-for-3, 3 RBI
Seems like Baltimore is trying to stockpile a few of these corner-outfielder mashers with contact concerns and Stowers fits that archetype of player.
Carlos Guzman, RHP DET (Low-A) 5 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 8 K
Guzman topped out at 95.9 with the heater and also mixed in a curveball and a changeup. Kept Bradenton lineup off balance all day due to his changeup, which got a called strike or a whiff 54% of the time. The right-hander has a solid build and could be a future mid-rotation starter.
Kingston Liniak, OF DET (Low-A) 3-for-6, 2B, SB
Tiger Kingston has gotten off to a slow start but yesterday’s three hit game can hopefully get him going. Liniak is mostly known for what he does outside of the batters box as we have him as a plus runner and above-average glove in center. He’s a future reserve outfielder.
Gage Workman, SS DET (Low-A) 3-for-5, 2B, SB
Workman is transitioning back to shortstop in pro ball after being part of a loaded Arizona State infield last season. It’s not going very well as he made his sixth error of the season in yesterday’s game. The switch-hitter is hitting .269/.328/.423 on the season.
Cooper Johnson, C DET (Low-A) 2-for-4, 2B
Johnson is a plus defender behind the plate with a double-plus arm and there’s enough with the bat that he can be a potential big league starting catcher. Nothing sexy about it, but Johnson should reach the big leagues.
Francisco Alvarez, C NYM (Low-A) 2-for-4, RBI
You can’t stop Alvarez at this point, you can only hope to contain him. He’s an absolute monster at the plate. With the news that Pete Crow-Armstrong will miss the rest of the season due to surgery to repair a torn labrum, Alvarez is proof that not all things are bad Mets fans. I haven’t sat down and done an update to the fantasy ranks yet, but I might have Alvarez inside the top 40. He’s been so impressive.
Jordan Walker, 3B STL (Low-A) 1-for-4, 2B
Normally wouldn’t include this, but Walker plays in one of the few parks which we have exit velo heat for, and Walker is flat out abusing baseballs. His double was 108.6 off the bat, and he added another groundout up over 102 in case you were concerned it may be a fluke.
Xzavion Curry, RHP CLE (Low-A) 6 ⅓ IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 11 K
X gon’ give it to ya, he gon’ give it to ya especially if you’re a hitter in Low-A. He’s unscored upon in 15 ⅓ innings this year, with 23 strikeouts to three walks, and only four hits allowed. Absolutely dominating. I put in work, and it's all for the kids but these cats done forgot what work is they don’t know who we be. You should go check if he’s available on the wire in your league.
Misael Urbina, OF MIN (Low-A) 2-for-5, RBI
Urbina’s season started about a week or so later than most of his teammates, but he’s already worked his way up the leadoff spot with a strong early showing. Urbina is getting his first taste of pro ball, so far so good. This is a potential everyday guy.
Edouard Julien, 3B MIN (Low-A) 4-for-4, 3 SB
What a line. Julien kept all the singles to himself in this one, and also had three stolen bags. Julien was an 18th round pick out of Auburn in the 2019 draft and missed all of 2019 after signing, and obviously 2020 as well so this is his first introduction to pro ball. The left-handed hitting infielder has played primarily second base this year but has already seen time on the infield corners as well. He’s more known for his power than his hit tool due to his mostly uppercut swing, and he has trouble making consistent contact. You wouldn’t know it by checking this line out though.
Carlos De La Cruz, OF PHI (Low-A) 2-for-4, HR
De La Cruz has done nothing but hit since getting added to the Clearwater roster but the thing that stood out to me was his position. He was playing centerfield yesterday, which is interesting because he’s 6’8”. He’s a strong athlete but will likely always have whiff concerns due to the long levers, but so far so good. Some of you dynasty players in 30 team leagues might want to check him out. His homer today was 106.8
Gilberto Jimenez, OF BOS (Low-A) 2-for-4, 2B, BB
Jimenez just continues to do his thing. He was pinch hit for in the 9th inning so something to watch going forward.
Eury Perez, RHP MIA (Low-A) 4 IP, 2 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 8 K
Perez is the youngest player in Low-A Southeast and he’s been very impressive so far. He lives 95-96 with the heater and pounded the zone in this one. 48 of his 67 pitches went for strikes. Very impressive. Should be firmly inside the top 200 in dynasty formats right now. Hot young arm on the rise!
Carson Spiers, RHP CIN (Low-A) 6 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 0 BB, 8 K
He was matched up against Eury Perez in this one. Spiers was an UDFA signed by the Reds out of Clemson in 2020 and he’s been fantastic so far. Yes, a college arm should do well in Low-A, but Spiers has 21 strikeouts to just three walks in 16 ⅔ innings thus far. Put him on your watch list!
Matthew Barefoot, DH HOU (Low-A) 2-for-4, 2B, SB
Barefoot was the Astros 6th round pick in the 2019 draft out of Campbell, and he’s been raking this year, hitting .360/.397/.660 with three homers and six stolen bases already. You do need to take the stolen base totals in Low-A with a humongous grain of salt across the board though as there are rule changes that make it much easier to steal. Pitchers are limited to two pick-off attempts per plate appearance when there is a runner on, so after the first two attempts you can go at first move knowing they can’t attempt to pick you off. But anyways, back to Barefoot. No word if he’s related to Shoeless Joe Jackson, or is a fan of the Flintstones.
Zach Daniels, OF HOU (Low-A) 2-for-6, HR, 2B
Zach “Don’t Call me Jack” Daniels should fit in nicely in the Appalachian region with a moniker like that. He should’ve heard all the jokes by now since he went to college at the University of Tennessee and all that, but Daniels can really hit for power and is athletic as anyone, but he has some issues making consistent contact. He’s a double plus runner and is one of the more tooled up prospects in a dull Astros farm system.
Shay Whitcomb, 3B HOU (Low-A) 2-for-4, HR, SB
Slam and legs for Mr. Irrelevant. Whitcomb was the last player selected in the 2020 draft, and if there’s a draft where you’re ok with being Mr. Irrelevant, it has to be 2020 right? He was a strong statistical performer for UC San Diego, and he’s off to a fine start in pro ball. Future utility option.
Tyler Soderstrom, C OAK (Low-A) 3-for-5, 2B
He can rake.
Ryan Murphy, RHP SF (Low-A) 6 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 6 K
Might be time for Murphy to move up to High-A. Low-A isn’t challenging enough for the 2020 fifth rounder out of Le Moyne. He has a 1.84 ERA through 14 ⅔ IP so far with 21 strikeouts and two walks.
Mitchell Killenny, RHP COL (Low-A) 6 IP, 6 H, 2 R, 0 BB, 7 K
His teammates couldn’t score any runs for Kilkenny, you b*****ds! South Park jokes are the best. Anyways, Kilkenny was drafted all the way back in 2018 and I’ve been waiting to use that joke for just as long.
Noelvi Marte, SS SEA (Low-A) 3-for-3, HR, 3 BBs
The big club got no-hit, Julio’s hot streak ended but even the Mariners bad juju can’t stop Noelvi. Monster night and he will likely join Julio soon in Everett. Fellow bash brother Cade Marlowe also homered again in this one.
