Yankees MILB 6/14: Trey Sweeney: 3 Hits, HR

News:

Nothing to report.

Scranton (29-34)

Their game against Rochester was postponed. They will play a pair tomorrow.

A few stat lines to hold you over:

Estevan Florial.307/.406/.625 (150 wRC+); 14.8% BB, 30.6% K (It temporarily slipped below 30% for a day. Florial has a shot at a 30/30 minor league campaign – but I bet he would much rather be playing in MLB games)
Oswald Peraza.306/.377/.581 (135 wRC+); 5.8% BB, 15.2% K (One has to love the ability to make contact)
Andres Chaparro.245/.318/.441 (83 wRC+); 9.7% BB, 21.3% K (Yes, his numbers have taken a fall as the power has disappeared, for now)
Jesus Bastidas.260/.325/.431 (85 wRC+); 7.4% BB, 26.1% K
Rodolfo Duran.270/.333/.504 (104 wRC+); 7.3% BB, 20% K (With Ben Rortvedt out, he is in the mix for the #3 catcher job)
Carlos Narvaez.279/.457/.410 (135 wRC+); 22.2% BB, 22.2% K (20 games. Narvaez is also in the mix for #3 catcher)
Elijah Dunham.222/.337/.329 (74 wRC+); 12.8% BB, 27.2% K (Tough season thus far for Dunham, who simply hasn’t been able to get into a groove)

Deivi Garcia5.23 ERA/6.12 FIP over 31 innings with a 21.6% K and 16.2% BB.

Somerset (36-22) (Squeaked past Altoona, 5-4)

SS Trey Sweeney: 3-for-4, 2B (13), HR (5), 2 RBI, RS, BB
Sweeney’s hitting streak is up to 11 (17-for-50 (.340)). This is his third 3-hit game this season and he has his triple slash up to .250/.371/.385. Before the streak, his triple slash was .222/.362/.329.
CF Harrison Bader0-for-4, 2 K
  RF Aaron Palensky0-for-1, K
LF Jasson Dominguez1-for-5, 2 K
C Austin Wells3-for-4, HR (9), RBI, 2 RS, K
Enough is enough – he has no business being here. That said, despite the fact that they are treating Oswald Peraza as if he is a Quadruple-A veteran who should languish in Triple-A, top prospects don’t typically need a lot of time in Triple-A. If the plan is to get him to Triple-A for a week or so before promoting him to MLB, fine. I don’t think that will happen, but it would at least explain this insanity.
1B T.J. Rumfield: 2-for-4, HR (12), 2 RBI, RS, K
Rumfield has homered in five straight games (6 HR in last 7 games). He is now hitting .242/.332/.503 in 184 PA (5 doubles, 12 HR, 34 RBI, 28 R, 21 BB, 26 K). You have to like that his power is surging while he is maintaining a low K% (14.1)
3B Tyler Hardman0-for-2, 2 BB, 2 K, SB (7)
DH Anthony Seigler: 1-for-3, RS, BB, K, CS (4)
RF-CF Jeisson Rosario0-for-3, BB, 2 K
2B Max Burt1-for-4

RHP Blane Abeyta: (W, 5-3)   6.2 IP, 7 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 3 K
6.04 ERA (56.2 IP, 58 H, 39 R, 38 ER, 8 HR, 27 BB, 57 K). He left the game with two runners on base – and both scored.
RHP Blas Castano1.1 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 1 K
RHP Danny Watson (S, 2): 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K
Watson hasn’t allowed a run in six innings since his promotion (2 H, 2 BB, 3 K). He stands 6’7″ and has produced a lot of strikeouts on his journey through the minors – Double-A is an adjustment. For now, we will take the zeroes.

Hudson Valley (34-25) (Defeated Rome, 4-2)

CF Spencer Jones: 2-for-3, 2B (19), RS, BB, SB (15)
Jones with his second consecutive multi-hit game as he tries to break out of his extended slump.
2B Ben Cowles0-for-3, BB
C Rafael Flores1-for-4, RS, K
RF Anthony Garcia0-for-4, 2 K
DH Antonio Gomez1-for-3, RBI, HBP
Gomez is now 12-for-29 in June. 
SS Alexander Vargas1-for-4, 2B (8), RBI, RS, K
1B Spencer Henson1-for-3, HR (9), 2 RBI, RS, HBP, 2 K
Henson is hitting .283 with 10 doubles, 9 HR, and 29 RBI.  His personal best for HR is 10, which he did in 71 games last year (tonight was his 43rd game this year)
LF Aldenis Sanchez0-for-3, BB
3B Marcos Cabrera0-for-2

RHP Tyrone Yulie: (W, 2-4)  5 IP, 6 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 7 K
4.69 ERA (48 IP, 40 H, 33 R, 25 ER, 30 BB, 57 K)
LHP Ryan Anderson1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K
RHP Jack Neely: 2 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 2 K, HR
1.80 ERA (25 IP, 13 H, 7 R, 5 ER, 2 HR, 13 BB, 36 K)
RHP Bailey Dees (S, 3): 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K
2.59 ERA (24.1 IP, 14 H, 7 R, 7 ER, 2 HR, 10 BB, 35 K)

Tampa (26-32) (Defeated Clearwater, 11-6. The Thrashers are really good (41-17) so this is a quality win)

SS Jared Serna2-for-5, HR (12), RBI, 2 RS, BB, SB (14)
Serna now owns a 7-game hitting streak. He is hitting .320/.383/.543 in 243 PA (11 doubles, 1 triple, 12 HR, 37 RBI, 40 R, 21 BB, 40 K, 14-for-18 SB). After games of 6/7, his SLG dropped below .500 (.495). Since that game, he is 11-for-29 with two doubles and four home runs. He has a realistic chance at a 25/25 type of season.
CF Daury Arias0-for-5, RS, BB, 3 K
C Agustin Ramirez2-for-3, HR (6), 2 RBI, 3 RS, 2 BB, K, CS (3)
.258/.402/.411 in 194 PA (5 doubles, 6 HR, 27 RBI, 32 R, 38 BB, 33 K, 6-for-9 SB). When you can maintain a BB/K over 1.00, you are doing something notable in the modern game. Ramirez is a catching prospect you need to pay attention to. 
DH Anthony Hall2-for-5, 2 RBI, 2 RS, 3 K
.277/.391/.418 in 169 PA. If not for his injury in his first AB last season, he likely is already up in Hudson Valley.
2B Brenny Escanio2-for-5, 2B (5), 2 RBI, RS, 2 K, SB (13)
Escanio has struggled this season but does have four multi-hit games in his last eight games played.
3B Jesus Rodriguez1-for-3, 2B (7), RBI, RS, 2 BB, K
.294/.370/.405 in 174 PA (7 doubles, 2 triples, 2 HR, 18 RBI, 27 R, 18 BB, 26 K (14.9%)). Rodriguez is 19-for-44 (.432) in June.
LF Christopher Familia1-for-3, 2B (5), 3 RBI, BB
Familia has 18 RBI in 12 games. That is a testament to how well the offense is flowing right now, but also a testament to how well he is hitting (.396/.482/.875; 9-game hitting streak). Correct – that .875 is his SLG, not his OPS.
1B Omar Martinez0-for-4, BB, 2 K
.237/.369/.396 in 168 PA (5 doubles, 1 triple, 5 HR, 20 RBI, 18 R, 27 BB, 51 K, 3-for-4 SB). Just like Ramirez and Rodriguez, Martinez is a catcher by trade. 
RF Tayler Aguilar0-for-3, RS, BB, 2 K, SB (4)

RHP Leonardo Pestana2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 4 K
4.78 ERA (26.1 IP, 27 H, 14 R, 14 ER, 4 HR, 14 BB, 36 K). Health has been an issue for him – hopefully he can get through the rest of 2023 unscathed.
RHP Kris Bow (W, 2-1): 4 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 3 K
It takes a while for your numbers to recover when you allow 10 ER in your first 2.2 innings. In his last 11 innings, he has allowed 4 runs and has an 11/6 K/BB ratio.
LHP Geoffrey Gilbert1 IP, 3 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 1 BB, 0 K, HR
RHP Cole Ayers2 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 0 K
