The Minor League Daily Sheet: June 11, 2021

Eddy Almaguer is pinch hitting for Geoff for the Triple-A and Double-A blurbs while Rhys White (High-A) and Matt Thompson (Low-A) reprise their usual roles. Let’s get it! 

Jarren Duran, OF BOS (Triple-A) 0-for-5, 1 K

Eddy, you’re pinch hitting for Geoff on the sheet and the first thing you do is highlight a negative thing?! YES. Hey, we’re going to give you the good with the bad here. Duran has been great but it’s worth noting that he’s taking advantage of his friendly confines (1.110 OPS), but when he’s on the road like he was yesterday, it’s a different dude (.195/.313/.366). Let’s hope Fenway gives him Worcester vibes all the time. 

Michael Chavis, 1B BOS (Triple-A) 2-for-4, 3 RBI

What does Chavis’ future look like? I don’t know, but Boston is hoping he strings a few more of these together so another team could find out. 

Michael Gettys, OF BOS (Triple-A) 0-for-4, 2 K

Remember when we went gaga for Gettys a few years back? This is Monte Harrison’s forefather. All the tools in the world except the one you need the most. 

Joe Ryan, RHP TB (Triple-A) 4 IP, 3 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 4 K

Ryan came in for the piggyback to close out the game last night. Fun fact, Joe Ryan has never had a K% below 34 percent at any MiLB stop. Funner fact, our resident pitching guru Geoff Pontes thinks he’s an easy Top 100 fantasy prospect. 

Kevin Padlo, 2B TB (Triple-A) 1-for-3, 1 HR, 2 RBI, 1 K

Padlo’s ceiling is that of a second division regular. News blast: this isn’t a second division team. He’s one of many near-ready prospects in limbo in this system. This was just his fifth game starting at 2B, so the Rays could be priming the trade pumps to show off his versatility. 

Estevan Florial, OF NYY (Triple-A) 0-for-4, 1 R, 1 BB

0-for-his-last-18, Florial’s transition to Triple-A has been rough with a horrendous .529 OPS. The talent to be one of baseball’s best prospects was once there, but now the hope is he can be good enough to last a full season in the bigs. 

Trey Amburgey, DH NYY (Triple-A) 2-for-4, HR, K

A 26-year-old without a true defensive home, Amburgey is riding a .500 BABIP to a .397/.435/.810 line with six home runs (.414 ISO) so far in 16 games. The Yankees are clogged with Stanton and Andujar at DH and LF, so there’s really no chance for Amburgey to have any serious playing time. As for the profile, he’s obviously playing over his head and despite the plus raw he’s more of a high teens HR hitter with a below average slash line. 

Kevin Smith, SS TOR (Triple-A) 1-for-2, RBI, BB, K

So don’t look now but Smith has a .275/.385/.569 line with 7 HR and 5 SB. What catches my attention is his 13 BB%, a mark more than double his 2018 and 2019 seasons. I wasn’t able to find anything about a swing or approach change, but his batted ball data shows a drop in FB% but with a big increase in LD%. Simply put, he’s just hitting the ball hard and if it goes over the fence, so be it. In deep dynasty leagues it’s time to pick him back up if he’s out there. 

Alejo Lopez, 3B CIN (Triple-A) 2-for-5, HR, 4 RBI

Lopez hit his first home run of 2021 and it shines a spotlight on what a great season he’s had. A former 27th round pick in 2015, Lopez has a strong plate approach (20 BB, 14 K) and is playing himself up to be an emergency call up should the Reds need it later this summer. His good bat to ball skills are his one shining tool. 

Kody Clemens, 2B DET (Triple-A) 3-for-4, 3 runs

A strong game for someone who has few of them. Kody is supposed to be flashing more power than we’ve seen (0 HR in 2021). He’ll eventually get a crack in Detroit but even for the languishing MLB team he’s not a mainstay.

Jacob Robson, OF DET (Triple-A) 2-for-4, 2 R, 2 RBI

Every time I go to the MiLB leaderboards, I see Jacob at the top with his leading .443 AVG and his just as comical .600 BABIP. The 26 year old is in his third go around at Triple-A and is tapping into a little power though I wouldn’t put too much weight into it. 

Jahmai Jones, OF BAL (Triple-A) 1-for-4, 2 RBI, SB

Determined not to be a relic of prospect past, Jones has a 1.010 OPS in 42 limited AB (he was injured for a good chunk of the early season). Keep an eye on the walks and strikeouts, they’re trending in the right direction. 

Domingo Leyba, OF BAL (Triple-A) 3-for-5, HR, 4 RBI

Leyba squandered his 2021 MLB playing by going 0-for-24 in the second half of May. But he’s determined to get back, racking up 3 HR in 4 games. Can you believe he’s still just 25? 

Yonny Hernandez, 2B TEX (Triple-A) 1-for-3, R, 2 BB

Yonny is in a rough 2-for-31 skid but his eye at the plate remains as strong as ever. However, without any punch in his bat (just 2 XBH all year) I don’t see any regular playing time in his future so he won’t be a help with SB either. In deep OBP leagues you can take a flier but I wouldn’t expect much. 

Jojanse Torres, RHP HOU (Triple-A) 1.2 IP, 4 ER, 4 BB, 3 K

Our team was encouraged by what they saw out of Torres in the AFL but he’s fallen flat on his face to begin 2021. He has nearly as many walks as strikeouts to go with his 6.86 ERA. Yikes. 

Keibert Ruiz, C LAD (Triple-A) 2-for-5, 2 HR, 3 RBI

The bat to ball skills are still great, but Keibert has begun pulling the ball a bit more and the power has naturally followed suit. He’s up to 6 already in just 17 games, good for a .386 ISO. Definitely a situation to monitor. 

Ryan O’ Hearn, DH KC (Triple-A) 1-for-3, HR, BB

Drake shaking head meme: Ryan O’ Hearn performing at MLB level

Drake nodding and agreeing meme: Ryan O’ Hearn performing at MiLB level

Brent Rooker, 1B MIN (Triple-A) 1-for-3, HR, BB

Not unlike O’Hearn, Rooker is mashing. He hit his 9th HR. He’s a three true outcomes bat and the strikeouts will be a big hurdle in the majors. 

Bowden Francis, RHP (Triple-A) 7 IP, 1 H, 0 ER, 1 BB, 6 K

Francis is the classic example of why you don’t just go off the box score. His 2.12 ERA and 20 K-BB% are encouraging, but he lacks enough command of his secondaries to stay in a rotation. He didn’t even crack our thin Brewers list from earlier in the offseason. He’s got a deceptive delivery which is why he’s doing well against lesser competition. 

Kramer Robertson, 2B STL (Triple-A) 0-for-0, 4 BB, 0 R, SB

Well that’s a unique line. 

Orlando Arcia, SS ATL (Triple-A)  2-for-5, HR, 2 RBI

Man, I really wish we could see Arcia back for a second shot in 2021. Are you aware of what he’s done so far in the minors? 9 BB%, 7 K%, with a .319/.383/.580 line. I have him stashed in a league where I’m rebuilding just to see what’s up. Problem is the only way he sees the Braves roster is with an injury to Dansby. 

Kyle Wright, RHP ATL (Triple-A) 1.2 IP, 3 BB, 2 HBP, 2 K, 0 ER

The Cards’ AAA lineup just worked him and ran him up to 60 pitches. It was a wet night so that might’ve contributed to the struggles but we’re not seeing Wright up again for a while. 

Matt Frisbee RHP SF (Triple-A) 5 IP, 6 ER, 1 BB, 2K

Well, Triple-A ain’t going so swell for Frisbee. After five very strong AA starts that got him the bump here, Frisbee is going through an adjustment phase. He has SP5 upside. 

Jarred Kelenic OF SEA (Triple-A) 1-for-4, 2 RBI

Rooting hard for Kelenic to go on a tear and climb his way back to the majors. 

Evan White 1B SEA (Triple-A) 1-for-4, HR, 3 RBI

But more than Kelenic, it’s White who needs a jolt from the SEA youngsters. He’s been a big disappointment early in his career and today was a good way to return to rehab games after missing time with injury. 

Gabriel Moreno C TOR (Double-A) 4-for-5, HR, 3 R, RBI

The Fisher Cats feasted on the Sea Dogs in this game and Moreno shone brightest, smacking his 5th HR of the season. He’s popped up in a major way and is looking like a no doubt big leaguer. Geoff has seen him and came away extremely impressed too. 

Jordan Groshans, SS TOR (Double-A) 1-for-5, R, K

OK, not all Fisher Cats feasted. Groshans has been mediocre to kick off the year with a .665 OPS. We still believe in the profile so in dynasty there might be a buying window if you’re not too obvious about it. 

Heliot Ramos, OF SF (Double-A) 1-for-4, HR

We were chatting about Ramos in our group chat and we’re all pretty excited about him. It’s not so much the ceiling, but the fact that he’s looking like a productive everyday major leaguer. I think he’ll fluctuate between a 50 and 55 big leaguer throughout his career. 

Oneil Cruz, SS PIT (Double-A) 1-for-3, HR

Cruz has quietly dominated his second go around at Altoona slashing .286/.355/.554 with 7 HR and 7 SB. This is a high risk/ high reward profile and Cruz is doing a good job of mitigating the former. 

Bryson Stott, 2B PHI (Double-A) 2-for-3

The game was cut short but Stott still found a way to keep his season momentum going. He crushed High-A earlier and 10 games into Double-A so far he is doing the same. He might be a little tougher to acquire but his final price tag may not be as high. 

Oswald Peraza, DH NYY (Double-A) 2-for-5, HR

Hey, a HR! Peraza had many dashing to the wire to grab him after hitting four HR in five games earlier in the year but he’d been in a long drought ever since, struggling at his new level. But it’s important to remember he’s just 20 and one of the youngest here. I remain skeptical of the power output and whether or not he’s fantasy viable hinges on that. 

JJ Bleday, OF MIA (Double-A) 0-for-4, K

Now hitting .190 at the level with only 11 XBH in 34 games. The former fourth overall pick was billed as one of the safest picks in the draft thanks to a strong blend of contact and power but we’ve yet to see it in his professional career. We’ll remain optimistic for now but we’re at the point where we’d like to start seeing results already. 

Hunter Greene, RHP CIN (Double-A) 6 IP, 2 H, 0 ER, 4 BB, 9 K

We’ll give Marlins AA hitters a mulligan today because they were facing this beast. Greene was reportedly still hitting 100 in the sixth inning. He’s one of the top right-handed pitching prospects in the game and we’re witnessing his best season yet. 

Max Meyer, RHP MIA (Double-A) 5 IP, 4 H, 0 ER, 4 BB, 2 K

Facing off opposite Greene was Meyer in what was one hell of a pitching matchup. Despite not having his best stuff (slider was reportedly inconsistent), he still kept his team in the game and the opposing bats off the board. If we’re being nitpicky, we want to see more Ks from Meyer who’s at 33 Ks in 34 IP. 

Romy Gonzalez, SS CHW (Double-A) 2-for-5, 2 HR, 3 RBI

More like HR-omy! Eh, that sucked, sorry. Gonzalez is up to 8 HR on the season, he’s a modest power/speed threat but is still striking out too much to be taken seriously (29 K%). 

John Rooney, LHP LAD (Double-A) 4 IP, 5 H, 1 ER, 4 BB, 9 K

Billed as more of a pitchability lefty who can eat innings, the Dodgers have unlocked a ton of strikeouts this year. After hovering barely above 20 K%, he’s now at 32 K% in 2021. The problem is the 6.3 BB/9. I’m checking in every few weeks only because it’s the Dodgers.

Nolan Gorman, 2B STL (Double-A) 2-for-4, 2 HR, 3 RBI

All aboard the GORMAN-IS-IMPROVING-HIS-CONTACT-AND-REDUCING-HIS-STRIKEOUTS-AND-BECOMING-AN-EVEN-BETTER-PROSPECT train! You should see how much that decal costs to brandish on the side of that train. 

Josh Morgan, 3B SEA (Double-A) 2-for-5, 2 HR, 6 RBI

A former third round prep pick way back in 2014, Morgan is more hit tool than power. His career high is 7 in one season. Granted, he’s pulling the ball at a 57 percent clip and that’ll lead to more power. It’ll also lead to big holes in your game. 

Matt Tabor, RHP ARI (Double-A) 3 IP, 4 ER, 3 BB, 5 K

Tabor relies on his command of his secondaries to get by because his fastball sits in the low 90s. That’s usually a profile that I need to see *a lot* of success from before I jump in. We’re obviously still not there yet. 

J.J. Matijevic, 3B HOU (Double-A) 2-for-2, HR, 2 RBI, 3 BB, SB

And this, my friends, is how you properly stuff the stat sheet. 

Spencer Torkelson, 1B DET (High-A) 3-for-3, HR, 3B, 2 R, 4 RBI 

You can put a video of Torkelson’s homer in any art exhibit and it won’t look out of place. After a slow start to the season Torkelson has raised his slashline to .307/.447/.554. A call up to AA seems imminent and when that happens we all know Geoff will take good care of Torkelson. 

Dillon Dingler, C DET (High-A) 1-for-4, HR, R, 2 RBI 

Fun little tidbit right now Torkelson and Dingler both carry a .307 batting average at the moment. Dingler has been one of the more impressive prospects from his draft class so far this season, very much like Torkelson a call up to AA is just a matter of when, my prediction they both get called up on monday to join Riley Greene in AA, as monday is a travel day for the minor leagues. 

Lazaro Armenteros, OF OAK (High-A) 2-for-4, HR, R, RBI, SB

A once hyped international prospect who is known for having power and speed but can’t consistently tap into the tools because of his well below average hit tool. He is the Pizza Hut of prospects, every once in a while he’s fantastic and shows why he is highly thought of, but most of the time he leaves you underwhelmed and makes you contemplate the decisions you’ve made up until this point. 

Max Bain, RHP CHC (High-A) 5.1 IP, 4 H, ER, 2 BB, 10 K 

He was born in the darkness, others just merely adopted it. Pop up arm from a small college in Michigan that went and pitched in Indy ball and was signed by the Cubs back in early 2020. He ultimately probably ends up in the bullpen because he struggles with throwing strikes consistently, but he has a good curveball, a changeup that shows well but he lacks feel for, and a fastball that can reach 98. 

Quentin Holmes, OF CLE (High-A) 3-for-5, HR, 2 R, 2 RBI, SB 

Former second round pick all the way back in 2017, who was known for having plus-plus speed but he’s been hitting well to start the season. He’s currently hitting .563/.632/.750 and hit only his 3rd career home run in his 672 career minor league plate appearances.  

Bobby Miller, RHP LAD (High-A) 3.2 IP, H, 3 K 

Miller might have the tightest pants in all of the minor leagues, looking like early 2010’s high schoolers with how tight his pants are. Miller has been slow-rolled to start the season and the Dodgers have been keeping all of his starts at or below 4 innings per appearance, and he’s been faring well. 

Graham Ashcraft, RHP CIN (High-A) 6 IP, 2 H, 2 BB, 10 K 

The former UAB Dragon has been one of the more consistent pitchers to appear on this sheet because he’s been taking the ball every fifth day and pitching well. He currently is punching out 12.83 batters per nine innings. He has a good slider that he pairs well with a good fastball, I do have questions about where he ultimately ends up but there’s a solid pen role floor for him. 

Nick Loftin, SS KC (High-A) 1-for-4, HR, R, RBI 

Good to see the former Baylor Bear hitting and flashing some power especially since it took him a few weeks to start looking comfortable in pro ball. 

Asa Lacy, LHP KC (High-A) 4.1 IP, 4 H, 4 ER, BB, 9 K 

From one Royals 2020 draft pick to another, Lacy has struggled to throw strikes early in the 2021 season, but the stuff is still there and there's still that same level of competitor on the mound so I am not worried about him, most of the 2020 daft guys get a slight pass because of how the pandemic impacted them. 

Malcom Nunez, 3B STL (High-A) 1-for-3, 3B, 2 R, 2 BB, SB 

Still interesting that Nunez only has the one homer on the season but he is spraying balls to his pull-side so there’s some hope that more over the fence power starts to present itself. 

Pedro Pages, C STL (High-A) 3-for-5, HR, R, 2 RBI 

Is he the eventual heir to Yadi’s throne, well probably not that man is immortal. But Pages is known for his work with the glove, and his above average arm so it is nice to see him hit and hit for some power on occasion. 

Zach McCambley, RHP MIA (High-A) 6 IP, 3 H, ER, 10 K

He doesn’t get as much hype as Eder or Meyer from his own draft class but McCambley has also been pitching well in his debut professional season. He just notched a new career high in punchouts in a game, and after one less than stellar outting to start the season he has worked his ERA down to 3.16, and has punched out 49 batters in 37 innings. 

Connor Scott, OF MIA (High-A) 1-for-5, HR, R, 2 RBI 

Yesterday we mentioned that Scott may have the longest neck in all of baseball and he then proceeded to hit his second homer of the season the next evening. The talent that made him such a high draft pick is still there and in the early going of this season he is starting too look more comfortable and may be beginning to put it together.

Trey Cabbage, OF MIN (High-A) 1-for-4, HR, R, RBI 

Back-to-back games with a homer for the man named after a solid vegetable. 

Liover Peguero, SS PIT (High-A) 3-for-4, 3 R, RBI, SB 

A hat trick of singles for one of the prospects that the Pirates received in the Starling Marte trade between them and the diamondbacks. He is known for making solid contact and being able to play a decent shortstop, and from time to time will show modest power in game. 

Matthew Frazier, OF PIT (High-A) 3-for-5, HR, 2 R, 3 RBI 

Former Arizona Wildcat must be excited that his team is competing in a super regional and in turn hit a homer to celebrate. There’s some power and speed there but ultimately what’s gonna decide his ultimate role is the development his hit tool takes. 

Ken Waldichuk, LHP NYY (High-A) 6 IP, 1 H, 3 BB, 10 K 

He has yet to give up an earned run, or any run, in all 30.2 innings of work. He is a big physical left-hander with good stuff, who’s days in High-A are probably numbered just with the way he has pitched so far this season. He’s one of the better breakout pitching prospects in the game, and worth a flier but keep in mind with the Yankees they have proven if they believe in a guy they will give him every opportunity to remain a starter, so keep an eye on how they handle him. 

Kyle Stowers, OF BAL (High-A) 1-for-4, HR, R, 2 RBI 

More like Kyle Powers amirite? That was bad, I apologize. Stowers has struggled to hit consistently but every once in a while he shows the power that makes him an intriguing prospect. That or he’s just excited that his Stanford Cardinal is still hanging around in their Super Regional. 

Zach Watson, OF BAL (High-A) 1-for-4, HR, R, RBI 

The former LSU man has not been hitting well up until recently, but in his past 5 games he has hit all 5 of his homers on the season. There is, if everything goes right, a fourth-outfielder ceiling for Watson but I think the hit tool ultimately holds him back from reaching that ceiling. 

Adam Kloffenstein, RHP TOR (High-A) 5 IP, H, ER, 3 BB, 6 K

The former Texas prep pitcher took a few starts to get himself going at this level, he is young for the level so that is to be expected. After a rough May, June he has started to turn things around, in his two starts he has punched 11, and given up 3 runs in 9.2 innings of work. What is alarming is how many batters he is walking, in 27 total innings he has walked 22, he needs to get that under control or else he may be destined to pitch out of the pen where his stuff is fine but won’t blow you away. 

Slade Cecconi, RHP ARI (High-A) 6 IP, 2 H, ER, BB, 4 K 

Outside of one blow up outing Slade has been pitching solidly in the early goings of the season. He hasn’t been blowing the doors of people but after a lost season where he only had a few college appearances and whatever happened at the alt-site and instructs it’s nice to see him just take the ball every couple of days and not be bad. 

Evan Carter, OF TEX (Low-A) 2-for-4, 2 2B, BB, 4 RBI Game 1; 1-for-2, BB Game 2

Double doubles for Carter and he reaches base three times in game one and twice more in game two. You know the drill by now. Young for the level with well above-average offense and walk rates. Power is coming along. Could be a future fantasy stud with the tools.

Shay Whitcomb, SS HOU (Low-A) 1-for-2, 3 BB, SB

I feel like I mention it every time he makes the sheet but he was the last player selected in the shortened 2020 draft. Whitcomb is hitting .279/.362/.441 on the year and looks like a legit prospect.

Yeuris Ramirez, 1B HOU (Low-A) 3-for-5, 3B, 2B, SB

So Yeuris is on a bender and might actually be a legit prospect. There will be plenty of seemingly out of nowhere breakouts after last year and we’ve identified one here. Ramirez is hitting .291/.396/.488 on the season.

Sammy Siani, OF PIT (Low-A) 2-for-5, HR

Siani looks to be hitting his way out of the early funk, and he’s jumped his batting average 23 points in just the last four days. It’s still just at .213/.369/.404 on the season but he’s righted the ship a bit.

Brandon McIlwain, OF NYM (Low-A) 2-for-4, 2 HR

McIlwain was a former QB for Cal and was also the starting centerfielder on the baseball team. Athletes like this are intriguing because he’s finally focusing all of his attention on one sport and could put it all together. He signed with the Mets as an UDFA after the 2020 draft and has shown some power but not much else since then.

Alvaro Gonzalez, 2B DET (Low-A) 4-for-4, 2B

Gonzalez has only played in nine games so far this year, but has been productive, hitting .308/.419/.346. He’s not much of a prospect but a four hit game will get you on the sheet. He may have a possible utility future due to the glove.

Leo Jimenez, 2B TOR (Low-A) 4-for-5

Four singles for Jimenez in this one. His compadres on the Blue Jays infield also showed some pop today with Miguel Hiraldo adding a double to his tally and Orelvis leaving the building for his fifth homer.

George Soriano, RHP MIA (Low-A) 5 IP, 2 H, 1 ER, 4 BB, 10 K

Soriano might be another one of those pop-up prospects. He topped out at 97 with the fastball in this one and averaged 93.4 with the heater but some of the pitches admittedly look to be incorrectly labeled to be honest. Regardless he did top out at 97 and was finishing hitters with a high spin slider.

Rafael Marcano, LHP PHI (Low-A) 4 IP, 3 H, 1 ER, 2 BB, 5 K

The earned run allowed was the first one given up by Marcano in nearly a month as he’s been crushing Low-A hitters. He’s got a three pitch mix and looks to be an arm that is worth a roster spot in deep dynasty formats.

Chad Bell, 3B NYY (Low-A) 3-for-4, 2 HR

You know the rules. Two homers gets you a blurb. Bell actually has an interesting back story and like all other regulars in the Tampa Tarpons lineup, he’s taking this year. Bell was the 19th round pick by the Yankees in 2019 after he set the single season mark for homers in a season at Lousiana-Monroe. Bell also won $10,000 last fall for winning the HitTrax Open which was a hitting competition using the HitTrax technology. He was the champion in the 32 player tournament, defeating Cardinals prospect Todd Lott in the finals.  

Tekoah Roby, RHP TEX (Low-A) 5 IP, 3 H, 8 K

It’s pretty impressive when you put what players like Roby are doing in their first taste of pro ball. Roby’s senior season of high school was cancelled, and he’s out here getting whiffs and pitching well. Roby has only given up one earned run in ten innings in June so far as he’s gone five innings in each of his last two outings. Roby has an athletic, sturdy build and looks the part of a starter, and the results are beginning to look promising as well.

Yohendrick Pinango, OF CHC (Low-A) 3-for-5

A trio of singles for the left-handed hitting Pinango. Yohendrick may be one of the most underrated prospects in the Cubs system because he hits. He has below-average power though which isn’t ideal for a corner outfielder, but he finds the barrel. He’s hitting .280/.346/.415.

A.J. Vukovich, 3B ARI (Low-A) 2-for-4, HR

I first saw Vukovich at the Super 60 prep showcase event and he showed massive power upside and his athletic metrics were much better than we thought because of his size. I’m a big fan but don’t be scared away by the whiffs that will plague him his entire career do to his longer limbs. He’s hitting .264/.331/.445 on the year so far with five homers and four steals.

Brandon Pfaadt, RHP ARI (Low-A) 6 IP, 7 H, 4 R, 1 BB, 12 K

Pfaadt keeps missing bats and has been mentioned on the sheet for his last handful of outings. 

Eddy Diaz, 2B COL (Low-A) 3-for-5, SB

Diaz can run but he completely lacks power and strikes out too frequently for a guy that doesn’t punish the baseball. 

Ezequiel Tovar, SS COL (Low-A) 3-for-5, 2B

Tovar is part of the next wave of confusing Rockies prospects. He’s hitting well at 19 in the Low-A with a .290/.340/.466 triple slash, but what do you make of Rockies prospect now? Especially the non-elite guys. He can run, he’s not an 8 runner like Diaz but still probably plus. Tovar does have a bit of thump though so if he can make more consistent contact and better swing decisions he could be an everyday regular for the Rockies in 2034.

Noelvi Marte, SS SEA 2-for-3, HR, 3B, 2 BB, 4 RBI

Box score stuffing night for Noelvi. He just keeps hitting bombs. He was aggressively ranked prior to the season starting and looks to be the real deal. 

Joshua Mears, OF SD (Low-A) 2-for-3, HR, 2B, BB

Mears is a big boy and hits the ball extremely hard. It’s just not frequently enough. He’s hitting sub-.200 so far on the season. 

Diego Cartaya, C LAD (Low-A) 2-for-3, HR, 2 BB, 4 RBI

Dude rakes. He’s smashed six homers in just eleven games played and his hitting .372/.451/.884 on the young season. #FutureBeast
