Yankees MILB 6/18: Chase Hampton’s Impressive Double-A Debut

News:

Nothing to report.

Scranton (31-37) (Lost to Rochester, 3-0)

CF Estevan Florial0-for-5, 2 K
5 PA is a 3-0 game. Anyway, this snaps his 35-game on-base streak.
2B Oswald Peraza1-for-4, SB (11)
.292/.360/.563 in 161 PA (4 doubles, 1 triple, 11 HR, 24 RBI, 25 R, 10 BB, 24 K, 11-for-13 SB)
LF Elijah Dunham: 1-for-2, 2 BB, K, 3 SB (11)
.227/.341/.351 in 264 PA. We are at the point of the season where the climb to get back up to where you need to be is harder. Dunham is certainly hitting better in the last week or so, though. The three stolen bases tie his personal best (did it once in 2021 and 2022)
3B Andres Chaparro0-for-3, BB
.238/.314/.430 in 277 PA (25 straight games without a home run and 10-for-56 (.179) in June)
1B Carlos Narvaez1-for-4, K
C Rodolfo Duran0-for-3, BB, 2 K
Expect Narvaez and Duran to continue to get plenty of AB as they may need either one in the big leagues if anything happens to Jose Trevino or Kyle Higashioka.
DH Jamie Westbrook1-for-3, BB
RF Brandon Lockridge0-for-3, BB, K
SS Jesus Bastidas1-for-4, K
He doesn’t get the attention Chaparro does – but he is outhitting him (.267/.327/.436 in 217 PA)

RHP Mitch Spence: (L, 4-4)  5 IP, 6 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 3 BB, 1 K
RHP Michael Gomez1.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 0 K
LHP Josh Maciejewski1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K
RHP Michael Feliz0.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K

Somerset (39-23) (Defeated Altoona, 4-3)

SS Trey Sweeney2-for-3, HR (7), 2 RBI, 2 RS, BB
.249/.364/.400 in 269 PA (13 doubles, 7 HR, 28 RBI, 38 R, 39 BB, 54 K, 9-for-12 SB). He is hitting .296/.359/.535 in June with five doubles and four home runs.
CF Jasson Dominguez1-for-4, 2B (6), RS, 2 K
.210/.355/.390 in 262 PA (6 doubles, 1 triple, 10 HR, 37 RBI, 44 R, 48 BB, 70 K, 16-for-19 SB). I am patient with prospects. It is just obvious that Dominguez isn’t one of those prodigies who destroy minor-league pitching at every turn. 
DH Austin Wells0-for-3, RBI, BB
1B T.J. Rumfield1-for-3, RBI, BB, K
.234/.327/.479 in 196 PA (5 doubles, 12 HR, 35 RBI, 28 R, 23 BB, 29 K, 5-for-7 SB). The BABIP is at .208. He isn’t striking out and is hitting for power – hopefully, the average does catch up as the season goes into the second half.
3B Tyler Hardman1-for-4
.240/.318/.520 in 201 PA (6 doubles, 2 triples, 13 HR, 32 RBI, 31 R, 21 BB, 61 K)
C Anthony Seigler0-for-4, K
LF Aaron Palensky1-for-3, BB, K
Palensky continues to hit. Someone asked me if he is an organizational guy. At this point, the answer is No. We have to consider him above that at this point because he just keeps hitting.
RF Jeisson Rosario0-for-4, 2 K
2B Max Burt: 1-for-3, RS, HBP, SB (9)

RHP Chase Hampton: 6 IP, 4 H, 3 R, 2 ER, 0 BB, 8 K
A strong debut for Hampton. Between here and Hudson Valley: 2.72 ERA (53 IP, 35 H, 21 R, 16 ER, 5 HR, 16 BB, 85 K). Incredible performance.
RHP Ian Hamilton (W, 1-0): 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K
Hamilton begins his rehab stint.
RHP Danny Watson1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K
Since promotion: 7 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 3 K. Overall: 1.15 ERA (31.1 IP, 15 H, 6 R, 4 ER, 1 HR, 11 BB, 42 K)
RHP Tanner Myatt (S, 4): 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K

Hudson Valley (37-26) (Rocked Rome, 10-1)

CF Spencer Jones: 3-for-3, HR (10), 4 RBI, 2 RS, 2 BB, SB (16)
During his 7-game hitting streak: 13-for-28 (2 doubles, 3 HR, 6 RBI, 7 R, 4 BB, 7 K). So far, Jones has shown to be streaky – and that is fine – he will get to Somerset at a young enough age (he just turned 22). Overall, he is hitting .289 in 250 PA (19 doubles, 3 triples, 10 HR, 36 RBI, 37 R, 19 BB, 82 K, 16-for-21 SB)
SS Alexander Vargas2-for-5, RS, 2 K
C Rafael Flores2-for-5, 2B (9), RBI, RS, K
Flores is hitting .299. He is only 11-for-50 in June, so maybe this game will get him going again.
DH Anthony Garcia: 0-for-4, RBI (Ejected)
  PH-DH Luis Santos1-for-1, 2B (3)
1B Spencer Henson1-for-4, RBI, 2 BB, 2 K
3B Ben Cowles: 2-for-3, RS, BB, HBP, SB (5)
RF Grant Richardson1-for-3, 2 RS, 2 BB, 2 K, SB (6)
LF Aldenis Sanchez2-for-5, 2B (6), RBI, RS, K
2B Eduardo Torrealba1-for-4, RBI, RS

RHP Drew Thorpe: (W, 6-1)  6 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 8 K
Thorpe in June: 0.00 ERA (21 IP, 9 H, 0 R, 4 BB, 27 K). Overall: 2.64 ERA (64.2 IP, 51 H, 23 R, 19 ER, 4 HR, 22 BB, 79 K). Does he belong in Somerset? Probably. But who am I to say that?
RHP Bailey Dees: 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 5 K
2.39 ERA (26.1 IP, 14 H, 7 R, 7 ER, 10 BB, 40 K)
RHP Luis Velasquez: 1 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 2 K

Tampa (30-33) (Defeated Clearwater, 13-11, in ten innings)

SS Jared Serna1-for-5, HR (13), 3 RBI, RS, 2 BB
All 13 of Serna’s home runs have come in his last 40 games. Serna is hitting .311/.375/.534 in 264 PA (12 doubles, 1 triple, 13 HR, 43 RBI, 44 R, 23 BB, 45 K, 15-for-19 SB). He is turning into quite a fun prospect to follow.
CF Anthony Hall: 2-for-6, HR (4), RBI, RS, BB, 2 K
.274/.395/.420 in 190 PA. After a .338/.477/.471 May, he is hitting .286/.379/.464 in June. Not quite as good but he is showing us that he likely doesn’t belong here anymore.
LF Daury Arias2-for-6, 2B (9), 3B (2), RS, K
Last 6 games: 9-for-28 (2 doubles, 1 triple, 1 HR)
DH Christopher Familia0-for-5, BB
One of the hottest hitters in the organization goes 0-for-5 in a 13-11 game. Baseball!
C Omar Martinez: 2-for-5, 2 RS, BB, K
.240/.367/.387 in 180 PA (5 doubles, 1 triple, 5 HR, 23 RBI, 21 R, 28 BB, 53 K)
3B Jesus Rodriguez2-for-5, RBI, 2 RS, BB, 2 K
.313/.398/.464 in 192 PA. He is 26-for-57 (.456/.537/.754) with ten multi-hit games in June. That is beyond ridiculous.
RF Tayler Aguilar2-for-5, 2B (10), HR (4), 3 RBI, 3 RS, SB (5)
Aguilar needed this. He is hitting .180/.286/.346 in 154 PA.
2B Beau Brewer1-for-2, SF, RBI, RS, 3 BB
1B Ronny Rojas3-for-4, 2B (5), 2 RBI, RS, 2 BB, K
Always nice to see an unheralded kid have a good day.
