Yankees MILB 9/11: Caleb Durbin Homers

News:

RHP Tanner Myatt was released from his contract.

Since being drafted in the 11th round of the 2018 draft out of Florence-Darlington Technical College, injuries limited Myatt to 203.2 innings. He posted a 3.71 ERA and 246/153 K/BB (10.9 K/9; 6.8 BB/9). He allowed only 13 home runs and 5.2 hits/9.

Myatt had a massive upside at the time of his draft. Standing 6’7″, he reportedly hit 101 MPH with his fastball. The Yankees gave him a bonus slightly over the $125,000 cap (at the time) for a player in the 11th round or later ($147,500).

A pitcher with his raw talent is worth taking a shot with. It didn’t work out.


Scranton (79-59) (Split a doubleheader with Lehigh Valley. Worcester won, yet again.  Worcester is 39-26. Scranton is 37-28. Remember: The Triple-A season doesn’t end until 9/22)

RHP Ron Marinaccio (S, 6): 1 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 2 K


Somerset (72-61) (Defeated New Hampshire, 8-2. Portland lost, so Somerset takes a half-game lead with four games to play)

CF Spencer Jones1-for-4, RS, K
Jones is up to 199 strikeouts. Season: .259/.335/.449 in 528 PA. Last season: .267/.336/.444 in 537 PA.
C Rafael Flores: 1-for-3, RS, BB, K
At this level: .273/.358/.524 in 257 PA. An impressive first run through Double-A for the 23-year-old.

RHP Bailey Dees: (W, 7-7) 5.1 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 4 K
4.25 ERA (137.2 IP, 118 H, 71 R, 65 ER, 19 HR, 54 BB, 145 K). This was his first year as a starter and he performed well. Importantly, he ended the season strongly (22.2 IP, 13 H, 4 R, 3 ER, 10 BB, 29 K).
RHP Cole Ayers1.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K
Since promotion: 9 IP, 4 H, 5 R, 5 ER, 1 HR, 6 BB, 11 K. He allowed four of those runs in 0.2 innings during one appearance.

Yankees MILB 8/30: Roderick Arias Homers, Drives Home 4

News:

Nothing fit for print.


Scranton (73-55) (Lost two games to Rochester)

Game 1 (Lost, 6-2)

2B Caleb Durbin1-for-1, 2B (20), SB (25)
I don’t know why Durbin was pulled. As you may suspect, he didn’t play in Game 2. The game log doesn’t tell us anything—he wasn’t pulled after the double or stolen base. We’ll see if anything comes of it. As you may know, Durbin has a few injuries over the last two seasons. Last season, he suffered a non-contact injury that kept him out of action for several weeks. He missed a few months this season after being hit by a pitch.  This doesn’t make him “injury-prone”.  For all we know, Durbin will be back tomorrow.

RHP Joey Gerber0.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 0 K
RHP Lou Trivino1 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 1 K
Trivino’s first rehab appearance for Scranton (he was rehabbing for Somerset up until now). He used his entire arsenal, maxing out at 94.6 with his sinker. 
RHP Scott Effross1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K
For Scranton: 3.75 ERA (24 IP, 21 H, 11 R, 10 ER, 2 HR, 6 BB, 22 K). 

Game 2 (Lost, 4-1)

3B Jorbit Vivas: 1-for-2, SF, RBI
CF Jasson Dominguez2-for-3
Dominguez has 8 multi-hit efforts in his last 14 games. He must be called up in September. It would be malpractice to not do it.

RHP Yoendrys Gomez: (L, 2-5) 3 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 4 K, HR
3.93 ERA (71 IP, 51 H, 33 R, 31 ER, 10 HR, 36 BB, 75 K). I thought Gomez was going to have a bigger MLB impact this season. I don’t know what 2025 holds, but I think he will be traded this winter.

3B Jon Berti1-for-3, K
Berti is 4-for-22 with a homer during his rehab stint.
   2B Anthony Seigler0-for-1, K
1B Anthony Rizzo0-for-3
Rizzo is 2-for-11 with a homer during his rehab stint.
   1B Tyler Hardman0-for-0, CS (2), BB
CF Spencer Jones1-for-4, 2 K
Jones has a 6-game hitting streak. You are correct if your perception is that Jones strikes out often when he doesn’t earn a hit. During this hitting streak, he is 11-for-23 with 8 strikeouts. During August, he is 29-for-88 (.330) with 9 walks and 37 strikeouts. His BABIP this month is well over .500. His profile is, to put it bluntly, equal parts crazy and baffling.

SS Alexander Vargas1-for-3, CS (8), K
2B-3B Max Burt1-for-3, 2 K

RHP Cody Poteet3.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 6 K
During rehab: 0.96 ERA (9.1 IP, 5 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 11 K). Since lane discussions are the rage, there might not be a lane for Poteet in September. However, there is nothing wrong with having him in the minors for depth.
RHP Colby White1.1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 3 K
3.81 ERA (28.1 IP, 22 H, 15 R, 12 ER, 3 HR, 21 BB, 36 K). The Yankees claimed him off waivers from the Rays back on May 9th. The Yankees designated him for assignment on May 20th but were able to keep him.
LHP Ben Shields: (L, 2-2)  4 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 3 K
Since promotion: 3.14 ERA (43 IP, 37 H, 18 R, 15 ER, 2 HR, 16 BB, 49 K). Overall, Shields is up to 97 IP (121/28 K/BB) in his debut season.


Hudson Valley (66-57) (Lost to Jersey Shore, 6-3. The BlueClaws are back within one game for the second-half title)

2B Roc Riggio: 0-for-4, BB, 2 K
He didn’t play last night after leaving the game early on Wednesday. He was back tonight.
SS George Lombard Jr.: 3-for-5, 2B (5), 2 RBI, K
Lombard Jr. has four straight multi-hit efforts and a 5-game hitting streak (he has one double in each game).  He started 1-for-28 at this level but is up to .209 (18-for-86). He is striking out at a lesser rate since joining Hudson Valley as well.
3B Josh Moylan1-for-5
RF Garrett Martin: 1-for-3, HBP, 2 K
DH Omar Martinez0-for-2, RS, 2 BB, K
CF Jackson Castillo0-for-4
LF Brendan Jones2-for-3, 2B (1), RBI, RS, BB, K
Jones is 8-for-28 (.286) since his promotion. Many of their 2024 draftees/undrafted free agents are off to solid starts, but Jones is standing out.
C Antonio Gomez0-for-4, 3 K
1B Kiko Romero0-for-2, RS, 2 BB

LHP Kyle Carr: (L, 1-8) 4 IP, 7 H, 6 R, 4 ER, 2 BB, 2 K
Record aside, Carr was pitching well recently before tonight’s effort. Season: 4.86 ERA (100 IP, 93 H, 66 R, 54 ER, 5 HR, 53 BB, 91 K)
RHP Blane Abeyta2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K
RHP Sebastian Keane2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K
4.73 ERA (80 IP, 73 H, 45 R, 42 ER, 7 HR, 41 BB, 81 K)


Tampa (51-69) (Defeated Bradenton, 9-6. I thought they were playing two games today, but I was mistaken. The doubleheader is scheduled for tomorrow)

SS Roderick Arias3-for-5, HR (12), 4 RBI, 2 RS, SB (32)
.230/.331/.385 in 517 PA (19 doubles, 7 triples, 12 HR, 71 RBI, 70 R, 32-for-45 SB, 12.2% BB, 31.3% K). There is a chance that Arias can get his K% below 30%, which would be amazing. When a player stays healthy and gets to the plate 517 times, it is easier for them to adjust. That is a part of my Baseball Prospects 101 course.
CF Willy Montero1-for-5, 2B (23), RBI, K
Montero is 24-for-88 (.273) in August with 8 doubles, a homer, and 12 RBI.

DH JoJo Jackson2-for-4, RS, 2 K
Jackson’s first career multi-hit effort.
3B-2B Owen Cobb1-for-4, RBI, 2 RS, BB
Cobb is 12-for-44 (3 doubles, 7 RBI, 10 R, 7-for-7 SB). The undrafted free agent signing played for Stanford, so he has big school pedigree.
C Diomedes Hernandez1-for-2, SF, RBI, RS, BB

RHP Bryce Warrecker: (W, 2-5)  5 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 2 K, HR

2.81 ERA (51.1 IP, 41 H, 22 R, 16 ER, 3 HR, 24 BB, 47 K). This includes the 22-year-old’s stint for Hudson Valley, where he pitched pretty well.
RHP Jordy Luciano1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K
RHP Cade Austin (S, 1): 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 0 K

Yankees MILB 4/20: Ben Rice Homers in 4th Straight Game

Nothing new.

Scranton (13-6) (Defeated Lehigh Valley, 5-2)

CF Brandon Lockridge1-for-4, 2 RBI, 2 K
SS Caleb Durbin0-for-3, RS, BB
In 210 career games, Durbin has a 98/79 BB/K. Starts by position: SS: 6 (7 total games); 2B: 6; 3B: 2; LF: 2 (3 total games); CF: 1
RF Everson Pereira1-for-3, 2B (3), RS, CS (2), BB, K
Pereira continues to swat extra-base hits and his career SLG is over .500 (.505). He will require consistent MLB at-bats to see how his game translates. I am not sure if the Yankees will be the team that offers him that.
DH T.J. Rumfield0-for-4, RBI, K
1B Carlos Narvaez2-for-3, SF, RBI
.218/.400/.327 in 75 PA (3 doubles, 1 HR, 8 RBI, 15 BB, 16 K)

Torrens’ first game since 4/12.

3B Jordan Groshans0-for-2, RS, BB, K
2B Josh VanMeter2-for-2, 2B (3), RBI, RS, SB (1), CS (1), BB
VanMeter is doing his job as a depth piece (10-for-38, 3 doubles, 2 HR, 9 RBI, 8 R)

RHP Cody Poteet (W,1-0): 6.1 IP, 6 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 4 K
I assume we will see Poteet again at some point this season. He throws his 4-seam fastball just hard enough to keep hitters honest.
LHP Oddanier Mosqueda1.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K
10.2 IP, 5 H, 3 R, 2 ER, 1 HR, 4 BB, 14 K.

Somerset (6-8) (Lost to Hartford, 10-7)

CF Spencer Jones: 2-for-4, RS, SB (1), BB, K
Your reminder that Jones stole 43 bases in 55 attempts (78.2%) in 2023. You hope he puts the entire puzzle together because he is a unicorn. He is now 5-for-17 with three walks.
C Ben Rice: 2-for-4, HR (5), 2 RBI, 3 RS, BB, K
Rice has homered in four straight games (this is also his 4th straight multi-hit game (9-for-17)). Your reminder that he hit .327/.401/.648 with 16 HR in 48 games at this level in 2023. He now has 21 HR in 61 games here. The Yankees likely kept him here to get reps behind the plate. However, the bat will make or break Ben Rice and should be the focus. Get him to Triple-A.
DH Elijah Dunham: 2-for-5, HR (2), 3 RBI, RS
9-for-31 (2 doubles, 1 triple, 2 HR, 6 RBI, 4 R)
3B Ben Cowles: 2-for-5, 3B (2), RS, 2 K
Cowles is hitting .347 with an annoying .999 OPS. This is his 5th multi-hit game (14th game played)
1B J.C. Escarra0-for-4, HBP, 2 K
RF Jared Wegner: 1-for-4, BB, K
LF Grant Richardson1-for-5, SB (3), CS (1), K

Hudson Valley (9-4) (Defeated Aberdeen, 4-3)

2B Roc Riggio1-for-4, HR (1), 2 RBI, RS, 2 K
Riggio’s first professional home run. He hit 18 homers in 59 games for Oklahoma State in 2023.
SS Jared Serna: 1-for-3, 2B (1), SF, RBI, K
.146/.296/.317 in 54 PA. On the encouraging side: 7 K (12.96%) and his BABIP is .114. His numbers should start to tick up.
RF Jace Avina0-for-1, 3 BB, K
He is only 20, so we’ll see how he does in his first exposure to High-A pitching. 
3B Jesus Rodriguez0-for-4, 2 K
C Omar Martinez2-for-3, HR (3), RBI, RS, BB, K

1B Josh Moylan0-for-2, 2 BB
CF Nelson Medina0-for-3
LF Kyle Battle1-for-2, 2B (1), 2 RS, SB (1), BB
Battle hasn’t been able to get into any groove, but he is 30-for-34 stealing bases in his career.

LHP Kyle Carr4 IP, 4 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 1 HR, 3 BB, 2 K
So far, command and control have issues for Carr. He owns a 3.72 ERA in 9.2 IP (8 H, 7 R, 4 ER, 1 HR, 11 BB, 5 K)
LHP Ben Shields: 3.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 5 K
11.2 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 HR, 1 BB, 14 K. This is a good start to the 25-year-old’s career.
RHP Luis Arejula: (W, 1-1) 1.2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 1 K


Tampa (4-10) (Lost a tough one to St. Lucie, 9-8)

DH George Lombard Jr.: 2-for-5, 2B (2), 4 RBI, RS, BB, K
Lombard Jr. sets a personal best for RBI in a game. He reached base three times tonight after reaching base six times on Thursday. Crazy. There is plenty for the 18-year-old to work on but how can you not be encouraged by the start to his career?
2B Enmanuel Tejeda2-for-6, RBI, K
Tejeda is hitting .309 (17-for-55) with a pair of doubles and 9 RBI.  
SS Roderick Arias2-for-5, 2B (4), CS (3), BB, K
Six of Arias’ ten hits have gone for extra bases.

3B-1B Coby Morales0-for-4, RS, SB (3), BB, 2 K
CF Willy Montero2-for-4, SF, 2 RBI, 2 RS, 2 SB (4)
While he isn’t in the Lombard/Arias category, Montero is an up-the-middle prospect with talent.
RF Daury Arias1-for-3, RS, SB (2), 2 BB, K
C Edinson Duran: 1-for-4, RS, HBP, 2 K
LF Dayro Perez1-for-5, 2 SB (3), 3 K

RHP Josh Grosz:  5 IP, 7 H, 5 R, 4 ER, 1 HR, 1 BB, 6 K
One of Grosz’s sinkers reached 96.3 MPH (70% of his pitches were sinkers). This is his most encouraging start thus far this year.
RHP Cade Austin2.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K
RHP Art Warren: (L, 0-1) 0.2 IP, 5 H, 4 R, 3 ER, 0 BB, 1 K
Essentially, there is a “rehab goal” for Warren right now and they were unlikely to sway from that regardless of the game situation.

Yankees MILB 3/30: Cody Poteet: 4 Scoreless Innings

News:

I have nothing interesting to report.

Scranton (2-0) (Defeated Buffalo, 4-3)

CF Greg Allen0-for-4, K
3B Caleb Durbin1-for-4, 2B (2), K
I mentioned Durbin’s speed and versatility yesterday. What did I leave out? His insane (in a good way) strikeout rate. In 22 games for Hudson Valley, he struck out at a 9.3% rate. “OK, so what did he do in the higher minors? Haha! Bet it wasn’t so great!” The answer: 4.6% in 47 games for Somerset. Amongst all minor leaguers with at least 250 PA, his 6.2% combined rate was second to 27-year-old Ernie Clement (Toronto).  FYI: I wrote that blurb before his fourth AB, where…of course, he struck out.
C Carlos Narvaez0-for-3, RS, BB, K
LF Everson Pereira1-for-3, RS, CS (1), BB, K
Pereira hit a 102.7 MPH bullet for an out. The hit? 30.2 MPH.

  PR Brandon Lockridge0-for-0, RS, SB (3)
  1B Jordan Groshans0-for-0
SS Kevin Smith2-for-4, RBI, K
Game-winning RBI single in the 9th.
RF Luis Gonzalez1-for-3, 2B (1), SF, RBI, K
Is Brian Cashman trolling us by signing a player named Luis Gonzalez?
DH Josh Breaux0-for-3, 2 K
Breaux has 67 home runs in 316 minor league games. The power isn’t in question – the rest of his offensive game (plus his position) are questions. 
2B Josh VanMeter0-for-3, 2 K
VanMeter is a depth utility player. His bat hasn’t done much in his MLB career (.206/.293/.347 in 841 PA). His 39.00 ERA in three games doesn’t make him the ideal Isiah Kiner-Falefa replacement either.

RHP Cody Poteet: 4 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 5 K
Poteet, signed as a free agent over the winter, is on the 40-man roster. The 29-year-old has 19 games of MLB experience (9 starts) between 2021-2022 with the Marlins. He posted a 4.45 ERA. Today, he featured his 4-seamer (27%), sinker (29%), and change (27%) while mixing in some curves (10%) and sweepers (6%).
RHP Duane Underwood Jr.:  2 IP, 2 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 0 BB, 2 K, 2 HR
Underwood is no stranger to professional baseball, given that his debut was in 2012. Players like him tend to bounce around, but the Yankees are only his third organization (Cubs, Pirates). He has 144 games of MLB experience between 2018-2023, compiling a 4.63 ERA (4.08 FIP) in 144 games. Not bad for a depth guy.
LHP Anthony Misiewicz: 1.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 4 K
If you hung around for the entire 2023 season (you are forgiven if you didn’t), you will recognize Misiewicz, who pitched in three games for the big club.
RHP Yerry De Los Santos: (W, 1-0) 1.1 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 HR, 0 BB, 0 K
De Los Santos was a dark horse to make the MLB roster at the beginning of spring training. He (typically) keeps the ball on the ground, which we know Matt Blake loves.
