Yankees MILB 4/10: George Lombard Jr.: 2 Hits, 2 BB

News:

Nada.

Scranton (6-4) (Defeated Norfolk, 7-3. Even without Jackson Holliday, this lineup is dangerous. Scranton has held them to five runs in two games)

3B Caleb Durbin: 0-for-4, BB
Position update: 2B: 4 games; 3B: 2; SS/LF/CF/DH: 1 each
CF Everson Pereira: 0-for-4, RS, BB, K
8-for-38 (1 double, 3 HR, 7 RBI, 5 BB, 16 K)
DH Jose Rojas: 0-for-2, RS, 3 BB, K
C Luis Torrens: 2-for-5, RS, 2 K
5-for-24 with a double.
SS Kevin Smith: 2-for-5, 2 RBI, SB (3), 2 K
LF Luis Gonzalez: 1-for-3, 2 RS, BB, K
1B Jordan Groshans: 3-for-5, 2 RBI, RS
8-for-26 with two doubles and four RBI. 
RF Brandon Lockridge: 0-for-2, 2 BB, K
2B Josh VanMeter: 1-for-3, HR (1), 3 RBI, RS, K
VanMeter, known more for versatility than offense, hit the tie-breaking HR in the 8th.

LHP Tanner Tully: 2 IP, 4 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 3 BB, 0 K
RHP Phil Bickford: 1.1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K
LHP Oddanier Mosqueda: 1.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K
RHP Duane Underwood Jr.: (W, 1-0)  2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 3 K
Solid efforts by the three middle relievers. As I keep saying, there will be MLB time to distribute amongst some of their arms down here.
RHP Ron Marinaccio: (S, 1)  2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 3 K
He will likely be a “shuttle” guy in 2024. I wish he could refind that 2022 magic when fans complained about him being sent down during a hot stretch.

Somerset (2-2)

Their game in New Hampshire was postponed.

They will attempt to play a doubleheader on Friday.

Hudson Valley (2-1)

Their game at Rome was postponed for the second day in a row.

They will try to play a pair of doubleheaders – one on Thursday and one on Sunday. They are trying to get these games in at all costs because it is Hudson Valley’s only trip to Rome this season. Rome visits Hudson Valley in July.

Tampa (1-4) (Lost to Dunedin, 8-2)

SS George Lombard Jr.: 2-for-3, RBI, 2 BB, K
3-for-15 (2 RBI, 4 R, 9 BB, 6 K, 2-for-3 SB)
2B Roderick Arias: 1-for-4, 2B (1), RS, BB, 2 K
Even with the strikeouts, his raw ability comes out. He hit the double at 105.5 MPH. He has four hits this season: Single, double, triple, home run. It’s a 5-game cycle.
3B Enmanuel Tejeda: 1-for-4, K
Tejeda has started his campaign with a 5-game hitting streak (6-for-20)
1B Dylan Jasso: 1-for-2, SF, RBI, BB
5-for-15 (1 triple, 3 RBI, 3 BB, 3 K)
CF Willy Montero: 0-for-4, K
DH Manuel Palencia: 1-for-4, K
RF Tayler Aguilar: 1-for-4, RS, SB (2), K
C Tomas Frick: 1-for-4, K
LF Daury Arias: 0-for-4

RHP Luis Serna: (L, 0-1) 4.1 IP, 5 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 1 HR, 2 BB, 5 K
Serna was pitching well until a difficult 5th inning. He featured six pitches and used his curve (31%) the most often. He is more of a “pitchability” prospect than one who overwhelms with velocity.
RHP Aaron Nixon: 1.1 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 3 BB, 1 K
RHP Ocean Gabonia: 1.1 IP, 3 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 0 BB, 0 K
RHP Huey Morrill: 1.2 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 1 K
RHP Montana Semmel: 0.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K

FCL (0-0)

The season starts on 5/4.

DSL (0-0)

It will be a while before their season starts!

Yankees MILB 8/24: Richard Fitts Tosses 6 Scoreless Innings

News:

Nothing new.

Scranton (59-61; 25-21 in the second half) 

The game against Lehigh Valley was postponed due to wet grounds.

This is a big series against Lehigh Valley, the team they are chasing for the second-half title. They are currently 3.5 games behind both Lehigh Valley and Worcester. Durham (0.5 games back), Buffalo (3 games back), and Jacksonville (3 games back) are also ahead of Scranton.

LF Estevan Florial: 0-for-0
.289/.385/.566 (131 wRC+) in 343 PA. Florial is staring at minor league free agency this winter. The Yankees can definitely add him to the 40-man early in the offseason and look to deal him rather than lose him for nothing. Either way, it has been quite a journey for the kid. You may not love him as a prospect, but I will maintain that he deserves a chance. 
CF Jasson Dominguez: 0-for-0
Dominguez is 20 – and a young 20 as he won’t turn 21 until February. This is an unusual year with the big club so anything can happen – but I would still be surprised to see him make his MLB debut. One thing Dominguez can do is put together a strong 2-3 weeks and make the Yankees think about it.
C Austin Wells: 0-for-0
Wells is hitting .262/.350/.458 (100 wRC+) at this level. The fact he has a .808 OPS and a 100 wRC+ tells you what you need to know about the souped-up conditions in Triple-A. There is nothing Wells can do about that – he just has to keep on hitting.
DH Andres Chaparro: 0-for-0
RF Franchy Cordero: 0-for-0
1B Carlos Narvaez: 0-for-0
3B Jake Lamb: 0-for-0
2B Jamie Westbrook: 0-for-0
SS Wilmer Difo: 0-for-0

RHP Randy Vasquez: 0 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K
Personally, I give Vasquez the ball in the majors every five days and see what happens. The Yankees would rather not do that for their own reasons, so I guess I have to accept that.

Somerset (69-47; 27-21 in the second half) (Defeated Hartford, 2-1)

C Ben Rice: 0-for-4, K
No home run tonight? Disappointing (yes, I am kidding – sheesh)
DH Agustin Ramirez: 0-for-4, K
If you read this space enough, you already know that I am not concerned at all about Ramirez struggling here. They have been aggressive with him in his first taste of full-season ball and perhaps he has run into a wall. Or, maybe he has a hot month coming up to close the season. Who knows? The kid is a 21-year-old catcher – these types don’t typically fly through the minors like this. PATIENCE!
LF Elijah Dunham: 2-for-3, HR (9), RBI, RS, BB, SB (16)
His home run to lead off the 9th inning tied the game. Between here and Scranton, Dunham has 21 doubles, 15 homers, and 28 stolen bases.
2B Anthony Seigler: 0-for-3, RS, BB, K
RF Aaron Palensky: 1-for-3, BB, 2 K
1B Mickey Gasper: 1-for-3, BB, K
CF Jeisson Rosario: 1-for-3, RBI, K
Walk-off RBI single in the 9th.
SS Max Burt: 1-for-2
3B Eduardo Torrealba: 0-for-2

RHP Richard Fitts: 6 IP, 5 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 4 K (101 pitches)
Fitts is a bulldog. His ERA falls to 3.16 in 131 IP (110 H, 47 R, 46 ER, 18 HR, 34 BB, 139 K). His August line is insane: 24.1 IP, 14 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 8 BB, 21 K. He goes deep into most games, so it is also impressive that he hasn’t allowed more than three runs in a game since May 10th. After that game ended, his ERA was 6.07. A remarkable year for someone I think can be an innings-eating #3-#4 guy in MLB. The issue you hear about is that his command sometimes fails him inside the strike zone. That can certainly be developed.
RHP Jesus Liranzo: 2 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 4 K
RHP Bailey Dees: (W, 1-1) 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K
Since promotion: 11.2 IP, 7 H, 5 R, 4 ER, 6 BB, 12 K. Overall, he owns a 71/21 K/BB over 53 innings pitched. When I say that the Yankees can afford to trade a few of their MLB relievers, it is because of relievers like Dees, Danny Watson, and Jack Neely at this level + several others at other levels. They have a pipeline of potential.

Hudson Valley (64-53; 25-26 in the second half) (Lost to Aberdeen, 2-1)

CF Spencer Jones: 1-for-4, K, CS (9)
Jones increases his hitting streak to five (7-for-20). 
RF Anthony Hall: 0-for-3, BB, K
2B Jared Serna: 1-for-4
Overall, between here and Tampa, he is at .281/.350/.468 in 506 plate appearances. The power hasn’t shown up yet at this level, but I think it will.
C Jesus Rodriguez: 0-for-4, K
SS Alexander Vargas: 2-for-4, 2B (15), RS
DH Antonio Gomez: 1-for-4, 2B (16), RBI, SB (1)
Gomez stole five bases in 2021, but that has been the extent of his base-stealing prowess. Before all these other catchers started emerging, Gomez looked like the future guy. Defensively, he may still grade better than most of them.
3B Ben Cowles: 0-for-2, BB, 2 K
Cowles has a 36-game on-base streak (thanks to the Hudson Valley Renegades official Twitter account – I hadn’t picked up on this). 
1B Rafael Flores: 1-for-3, K
LF Jared Wegner: 0-for-3, K

LHP Brock Selvidge: (L, 2-1) 6.1 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 0 BB, 6 K, HR
Between here and Tampa: 3.49 ERA in 111 IP (100 H, 49 R, 43 ER, 5 HR, 30 BB, 125 K). In 2022, Selvidge walked 3.59 hitters per nine innings. This season, the number is 2.43. Major improvement there. Furthermore, he has allowed only seven home runs in 157.1 career innings. That number could go up as he moves up the chain, but it is encouraging. Oh, and he is only 20 (21 in four days)
RHP Cole Ayers: 1.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 4 K
RHP Luis Velasquez: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K
Since promotion: 1.99 ERA (31.2 IP, 18 H, 7 R, 7 ER, 1 HR, 18 BB, 36 K). 

Tampa (57-60; 26-25 in the second half) (Defeated Palm Beach, 8-7, in ten innings)

SS Brenny Escanio: 1-for-5
Roc Riggio was in the original lineup but was pulled late. Hopefully, it is something minor in nature.
3B Kiko Romero: 0-for-5, 3 K
DH Omar Martinez: 1-for-4, 2 RBI, 2 RS, BB
.263/.376/.471 in 396 PA with 17 homers and 69 RBI. Martinez has done enough to earn a promotion and maybe he’ll get some time up in Hudson Valley in September/playoffs.
1B Josh Moylan: 1-for-3, RS, 2 BB
.294/.422/.353 in 64 PA (12 walks, 14 K). Moylan is doing what you want to see college bats do in their first taste of professional ball. 
CF Cole Gabrielson: 1-for-3, RBI, RS, BB, HBP, K, SB (2)
RF Garrett Martin: 1-for-5, RBI, 2 K
LF Tayler Aguilar: 0-for-5, 2 K
2B Jose Colmenares: 1-for-3, 2 RS, HBP
C Manuel Palencia: 2-for-4, 2 RS
I said a few weeks ago that I don’t know much about him, and that hasn’t changed. That said, he is 9-for-22 at this level with only one strikeout. He is still looking for his first extra-base hit. Maybe I should do some reading…

RHP Sean Hermann: 5.2 IP, 5 H, 3 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 6 K
Between here and Hudson Valley: 5.29 ERA (98.2 IP, 110 H, 68 R, 58 ER, 9 HR, 44 BB, 83 K). Hermann is even younger than Selvidge (won’t be 21 until next June), so keep that in mind. 
RHP Alex Bustamante: 0.1 IP, 2 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 3 BB, 0 K
RHP Ocean Gabonia: 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 0 K
RHP Adam Stone: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K
RHP Montana Semmel: (W, 3-1) 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K
At this level: 15 IP, 18 H, 12 R, 8 ER, 3 HR, 4 BB, 15 K

FCL Yankees (35-22; 1-0 in the playoffs) (Defeated the Pirates, 7-6, in a sudden death game. They move on to meet the Braves in a 3-game series for the championship. The Yankees are defending their title from 2022)

2B Keiner Delgado: 2-for-4, 2B (1), RBI, RS, BB, K
Delgado hit 12 doubles in 49 games during the regular season. I would be stunned if he doesn’t get to Tampa next week.
SS George Lombard Jr.: 1-for-4, RBI, 2 RS, BB, K
No complaints about his small sample size.
1B Dylan Jasso: 1-for-5, HR (1), 2 RBI, RS, 2 K
Jasso’s 2-out, 2-run HR in the bottom of the 6th turned a 5-4 deficit into a 6-5 lead.
CF Willy Montero: 1-for-4, RS, BB
LF Jackson Castillo: 0-for-2, RS, 2 BB, HBP
DH Enmanuel Tejeda: 4-for-5, 2 RBI, RS
Tejeda had one 4-hit game in the regular season as well. He drove in the deciding 7th run.
RF John Cruz: 1-for-3, RBI, BB
3B Hans Montero: 0-for-4, 2 K
C Edinson Duran: 0-for-2, BB, HBP

RHP Luis Serna: 2.2 IP, 3 H, 4 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 6 K
Serna struck out the side in the second. In the third, sloppy play (including his own error on a pickoff attempt) turned out to be his downfall.
LHP Allen Facundo: (W, 1-0)  4 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 3 K
Facundo did a fabulous job calming this game down.
RHP Jackson Fristoe: 1.2 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 3 K, HR
LHP Miguel Pozo (S, 1): 0.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K
Pozo picks a good time to pick up his first professional save.

DSL Yankees (33-19)

Their season is over, as they missed the playoffs by a half-game.

DSL Bombers (27-26)

Their season is over.

Yankees MILB 8/22: Jasson Dominguez Crushes His Triple-A Debut

News:

Nothing new.

Scranton (58-60; 24-20 in the second half) (Destroyed Lehigh Valley, 14-1)

This is a big series against Lehigh Valley, the team they are chasing for the second-half title. It is a logjam, however, as four teams are between Lehigh Valley and Scranton in the standings.

LF Estevan Florial: 1-for-4, 2B (17), 3 RBI, RS, 2 BB, 2 K
Florial is at .291 with 17 doubles, 4 triples, 23 HR, 62 RBI, and 66 runs scored.
CF Jasson Dominguez: 3-for-6, 2B (1), 3 RBI, RS, CS (1)

1B Jake Lamb: 2-for-4, HR (3), 3 RBI, 2 RS, BB
RF Brandon Lockridge: 2-for-4, RBI, 2 RS, BB
Lockridge is hitting .303 at this level in 46 games.
SS Wilmer Difo: 0-for-3, RS, 2 BB, K

RHP Clayton Beeter: 4.1 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 5 BB, 8 K
At this level: 5.85 ERA (40 IP, 38 H, 27 R, 26 ER, 10 HR, 24 BB, 50 K). Overall Beeter has 126 strikeouts in 100.2 innings. 
LHP Josh Maciejewski: (W, 3-0) 1.2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K
Maciejewski entered the game with the bases loaded and one out. He allowed only one of the runners to score.
RHP Zac Houston: 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 3 K
RHP Aaron McGarity: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 0 K

Somerset (68-46; 26-20 in the second half) (Walked it off against Hartford, 4-1, in ten innings)

2B Caleb Durbin: 1-for-4
  2B Eduardo Torrealba: 0-for-1
C Ben Rice: 2-for-4, HR (10), 4 RBI, RS
Walk-off grand slam! Rice is hitting .324 since his promotion with ten home runs and 33 RBI in 27 games. Overall, Rice has 14 homers and 53 RBI in 52 games. His bat has been off-the-charts awesome this year. I can only imagine where he would be if he didn’t have a long-term injury.
DH Agustin Ramirez: 0-for-3, BB
CF Elijah Dunham: 0-for-4, K
LF Aaron Palensky: 0-for-3, HBP, K

RHP Chase Hampton: 5 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 6 K
Since promotion: 4.37 ERA (59.2 IP, 54 H, 33 R, 29 ER, 8 HR, 21 BB, 68 K). Overall, Hampton has a 145/37 K/BB in 106.2 innings.
RHP Tanner Myatt: 2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K
RHP Jack Neely: (W, 1-1)  3 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 0 BB, 4 K
Forget about that run, as it was the ghost runner. Since promotion: 2.53 ERA (10.2 IP, 7 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 2 BB, 13 K). Overall, Neely owns an 87/19 K/BB over 59.1 innings.

Hudson Valley (63-52; 24-25 in the second half) (Lost to Aberdeen, 3-1)

CF Spencer Jones: 1-for-4, RBI
.268/.339/.454 in 451 PA (28 doubles, 4 triples, 13 HR, 56 RBI, 61 R, 42 BB (9.3%), 131 K (29.0%), 35-for-43 SB). I am being truthful when I say I didn’t expect him to do much more than this. I think his season has been a successful one.
RF Anthony Hall: 0-for-4, 2 K
Hall is 9-for-45 (.200) since his promotion.
2B Jared Serna: 1-for-4
Serna is 13-for-49 (.265) since his promotion with three doubles, four walks, and only seven strikeouts (12.7%).

3B Ben Cowles: 0-for-2, BB, K

Since promotion: .259/.342/.489 in 152 PA. He started 3-for-22 at this level.
1B Rafael Flores: 0-for-2, BB, K

RHP Baron Stuart: (L, 2-2) 6 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 4 BB, 6 K
This is a hard-luck loss. At this level: 3.52 ERA (23 IP, 18 H, 9 R, 9 ER, 2 HR, 13 BB, 15 K)
RHP Mason Vinyard: 1 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 1 K
RHP Shane Gray: 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K

Tampa (55-60; 24-25 in the second half) (Lost to Palm Beach, 8-4)

SS Roc Riggio: 1-for-4, 2 RS, BB
8-for-37 with 16 walks (nice) and 14 strikeouts. He has eight runs scored.
1B Kiko Romero: 2-for-5, 2B (3), RS, 2 K
13-for-61 with three doubles and 13 walks. 
C Omar Martinez: 2-for-4, 2B (16), 2 RBI, RS, BB
.264/.376/.475 in 388 PA with 17 homers and 66 RBI. We’ll see if they give him some High-A time.
DH Josh Moylan: 3-for-5, RBI
.292/.407/.354 in 59 PA. This is his first career 3-hit game.
CF Cole Gabrielson: 1-for-5, RBI, 3 K
LF Tayler Aguilar: 0-for-3, BB, K
RF Garrett Martin: 0-for-3, BB, 2 K
3B Jose Colmenares: 0-for-4, K
2B Beau Brewer: 2-for-4
Brewer has a 6-game hitting streak and is 18-for-43 (.419) in August.

RHP Cam Schlittler: (L, 0-1)  4 IP, 6 H, 6 R, 5 ER, HR, 0 BB, 7 K
A mixed bag, but when you are dealing with a young pitcher in his debut season, it is important to see the positives. In this case, 7 strikeouts and no walks in four innings is a positive!
RHP Matt Keating: 2 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 5 K
3.47 ERA (57 IP, 54 H, 28 R, 22 ER, 5 HR, 30 BB, 83 K). He is certainly getting a lot of work in this season.
LHP Geoffrey Gilbert: 1 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 2 K
RHP Osiel Rodriguez: 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K
Since promotion: 13.1 IP, 8 H, 8 R, 8 ER, 2 HR, 12 BB, 18 K. He allowed four of those runs (without recording an out) in one of his outings.

FCL Yankees (35-22) (Lost the season finale to the Tigers, 7-6. They are in the playoffs, which start on Thursday and continue into the weekend. If anyone is going to be promoted, it would happen next week)

SS Keiner Delgado: 1-for-4, RS, BB, K
.293/.414/.485 in 239 PA with eight home runs and 36 stolen bases. Last year, in the DSL, he hit .310/.504/.506 in 238 PA with three home runs and 34 stolen bases. You can’t complain about either season and I hope they give him a taste of Low-A to close out the season.
DH George Lombard Jr.: 1-for-4, RBI, RS, BB, K, SB (3)
Lombard (5-for-12, 5 BB, 2 K) hit safely in all four of his games.
LF Jackson Castillo: 1-for-3, 2 RS, 2 BB, K, SB (1)
Castillo’s first career SB. He is 8-for-29 (11 walks, 10 strikeouts) in nine games
1B Dylan Jasso: 3-for-5, 4 RBI
.377/.486/.574 (23-for-61, 7 doubles, 1 HR, 20 RBI, 15 R, 11 BB, 5 K). The 20-year-old definitely earned a chance to move up to Tampa.
RF John Cruz: 1-for-5, K, CS (4)
.294/.376/.531 in 202 PA (6 doubles, 3 triples, 10 HR, 47 RBI, 28 R, 22 BB, 44 K, 9-for-13 SB). Cruz is only 17 (18 on 8/29) so I don’t know if they will move him to Tampa.
3B Enmanuel Tejeda: 3-for-4, RBI, BB, SB (24)
.307/.465/.458 in 217 PA (4 doubles, 3 triples, 5 HR, 30 RBI, 37 R, 44 BB, 44 K, 24-for-30 SB). While Delgado is 19, Tejeda is 18. I have no problem moving any prospect up to Tampa if they have earned it, regardless of age.
3B Hans Montero: 0-for-5, 2 K, SB (17)
.257/.419/.404 in 234 PA (6 doubles, 3 triples, 5 HR, 23 RBI, 41 R, 44 BB, 48 K, 17-for-18 SB). The bonus baby from a few years ago started hot in 2023 but cooled off. The overall stat line is solid and encouraging, however.
CF Wilson Rodriguez: 0-for-2, RS, BB, 2 K
.220/.360/.439 (9-for-41, 3 doubles, 2 HR, 11 RBI, 5 R, 8 BB, 13 K). The left-handed bat is 18, drafted in the 17th round in this year’s draft. There is no chance they are sending him to Tampa – this season was all about getting his feet wet.
C Peter Serruto: 0-for-2
The Yankees signed the 23-year-old Indiana graduate (he also went to Rutgers) on August 2nd. This is his debut.
  PH-C Diomedes Hernandez: 0-for-0, RS, 2 BB
The 18-year-old didn’t play much in 2023 (3 games; 1-for-5). 

LHP Edwar Polimir (L, 4-1): 1.1 IP, 4 H, 5 R, 5 ER, 2 BB, 0 K, HR
RHP Yoljeldriz Diaz: 1.1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 3 BB, 3 K
10.1 IP, 5 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 6 BB, 17 K. Diaz is 22 and has been in the system since 2019. That said, he has barely pitched (this was only his 26th career game)
LHP Pablo Mujica: 1.2 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 1 K
RHP Sebastian Keane: 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 1 K
1.71 ERA (26.1 IP, 11 H, 7 R, 5 ER, 1 HR, 16 BB, 35 K). The 22-year-old predictably pitched well here and should make his way to Tampa.

DSL Yankees (33-19)

Their game against Mets Orange was canceled due to a tropical storm. The game won’t be made up, and their season is over. They missed out on the division title by 0.5 games and a wild-card spot by one game in the loss column.

2B Enmanuel Tejeda: 1-for-4, HR (4), 3 RBI, 2 RS, BB
.308/.468/.462 in 188 PA. This is what I like to say about teenagers in the rookie leagues: The goal is to do enough to earn a coveted slot in a full-season league. Tejeda has done that, so we’ll see what’s next.

It will be hard to top his feat of 14 RBI in two games, but today was a good day. It is his second 4-hit game this season.

Yankees MILB 7/6: Roderick Arias Homers Twice

News:

RHP Zach Greene‘s rehab is over and is on his way to Scranton. Greene has some credibility in the baseball world, as the Mets chose him in last winter’s Rule 5 draft. The 26-year-old pitched to a 3.42 ERA in 68.1 innings with a 96/32 K/BB ratio for Scranton in 2022.

The Yankees claimed LHP Anthony Misiewicz off of waivers from the Tigers organization. He will take the 40-man roster spot that was occupied by RHP Jimmy Cordero. The Yankees will have another 40-man roster decision to make tomorrow when LHP Carlos Rodon is activated off of the 60-day injured list. It is possible they can transfer OF Greg Allen to the 60-day list. It also isn’t impossible that they will simply DFA Misiewicz himself and try to get him through waivers.

Scranton (40-42; 5-2 in the second half) (Leveled Lehigh Valley (again), 18-2. Remember, they won 14-0 last night)

CF Spencer Jones: 1-for-3, BB, HBP, K, 2 SB (21), CS (7)
.263/.330/.470 in 312 PA. I think most would have expected 21 HR and 10 stolen bases, not vise versa. Anyway, he has the athleticism to steal some bases – whether he will do a lot of that in a few years is anyone’s guess.
SS Ben Cowles: 3-for-4, 2 RBI, BB, K
Cowles’ second 3-hit game of 2023. 
C Agustin Ramirez: 0-for-5, 2 K
You didn’t expect him to hit .500 the rest of the way, right?
DH Christopher Familia: 0-for-5, 2 K
1B Rafael Flores: 1-for-4, HR (2), RBI, RS, BB, K
.291/.362/.370 in 257 PA. He isn’t small (6’4″), so you wonder if the Yankees think there is some future power to tap into.
RF Anthony Garcia: 0-for-3, 2 BB, K
LF Grant Richardson: 1-for-4, HR (7), RBI, RS, HBP, 3 K
3B Marcos Cabrera: 2-for-5, HR (5), RBI, 2 RS, 3 K

LHP Joel Valdez: (W, 2-4) 6.1 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 4 BB, 2 K
Too many walks, but he gives them some length and keeps runs off the board.
RHP Jack Neely: 1.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K
2.48 ERA (36.1 IP, 19 H, 12 R, 10 ER, 3 HR, 14 BB, 58 K). At some point, you have to make room at the next level for a prospect.

Tampa (37-41; 6-6 in the second half) (Squeaked past Dunedin, 5-4)

Serna now has an 8-game hitting streak (11-for-38; .289). No player goes through a full season without a slump, but Serna has been consistent most of the season.
SS Brenny Escanio: 1-for-4, RS, BB, 2 K
C Ben Rice: 2-for-5, 2B (2), 2 RBI, RS, K, SB (1)
Rice plays a full game behind the plate, so he is probably close to being done with his rehab. Of course, there are logjams at catcher all over the organization.
1B Omar Martinez: 2-for-4, 2 RBI, BB, K, SB (5)
3B Jesus Rodriguez: 1-for-5, RBI, 2 K
He made his one hit count: Broke a 4-4 tie in the top of the 9th.
CF Daury Arias: 1-for-4, BB, K
DH Brett Barrera: 0-for-4, BB
LF Jake Palmer: 3-for-3, 3B (1), RS, HBP

RHP Hayden Merda: 4.2 IP, 4 H, 4 R, 3 ER, 5 BB, 5 K
RHP Shane Gray: 1.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 4 K

DH Keiner Delgado: 1-for-6, 2B (9), RS, K, SB (15)
Delgado is in a little 4-for-21 slump since the start of July. After drawing 16 walks in June, he has yet to walk in July.
SS Roderick Arias: 2-for-3, 2 HR (6), 5 RBI, 3 RS, BB, K, SB (9)
Arias’ first career multi-HR game extends his hitting streak to 11. He ties his personal best for RBI in a game, set exactly one month ago.

.271/.397/.475 in 73 PA with 13 RBI and 13 runs scored. The $30,000 signing was described as being one of the fastest runners in all of professional baseball the moment he put his pen to paper. They don’t hand out scores of 80 often on the 20-80 scouting scale, but he got exactly that for his speed. Now to develop everything else.

Yankees MILB 6/30: Brando Mayea Hits First Home Run

News:

The Yankees have purchased RHP Jesus Liranzo from Lancaster (Independent). He was assigned to Somerset.

The 28-year-old started his professional journey in 2012. He owns a career minor league record of 11-18 with a 4.38 ERA in 212 games (15 starts). Liranzo has bounced all around the minors, having played for the Braves, Orioles, Pirates, Diamondbacks, Tigers, and Nationals. Fangraphs placed him on the “others to watch” in their minor league report on the Diamondbacks last year. He was given praise for his high-octane fastball and spin rates. I can see why the Yankees were interested.

Scranton (36-41; 2-1 in the second half) (Knocked off Syracuse, 10-6)

LF Estevan Florial: 0-for-2, 2 RS, 2 BB, 3 SB (16)
Florial ties his personal best for SB in a game. He is hitting .290/.384/.597 in 292 PA (10 doubles, 3 triples, 20 HR, 46 RBI, 50 R, 40 BB, 85 K, 16-for-24 SB)
CF Brandon Lockridge: 0-for-5, 2 K
C-1B Carlos Narvaez: 2-for-5, HR (5), 2 RBI, 2 RS, K
The 24-year-old also hit a pair of home runs down in Somerset earlier this season. Narvaez has 25 walks (19.2%) and 26 strikeouts (20%) since his promotion and is looking more and more like a legitimate MLB backup option. Last season was the only season when his batting average tanked, but he did contribute a personal-best 11 home runs. If you remember, he hit a walk-off home run during spring training.
DH Andres Chaparro: 1-for-3, RS, 2 BB
Chaparro has drawn seven walks in his last six games. 
1B Rodolfo Duran: 1-for-4
  PH-C Ben Rortvedt: 1-for-1, 2B (4), RBI, RS

RF Michael Hermosillo: 1-for-4, HR (10), SF, 2 RBI, RS, K

RHP Clayton Beeter: 5.2 IP, 5 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 4 BB, 1 K, HR
Beeter’s first two Triple-A starts: 11 IP, 11 H, 7 R, 7 ER, 3 HR, 7 BB, 7 K. Lucky 7’s!
RHP Michael Gomez: 1.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K
RHP Greg Weissert: (W, 2-2)  1 IP, 1 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 2 K, HR
LHP Josh Maciejewski: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 0 K
Used primarily as a starter in 2019 and 2021, Maciejewski took on more of a bullpen role in 2022 (he hasn’t made any starts in 2023). 

Somerset (44-27; 2-1 in the second half) (Lost to Bowie, 7-6)

SS Trey Sweeney: 0-for-5
Sweeney ends June 29-for-108 (.269) with seven doubles and eight home runs. The power display was impressive and hopefully continues into July.
LF Jasson Dominguez: 0-for-3, RS, BB, 2 K
Dominguez goes 18-for-97 (.186) with three doubles, three home runs, 19 walks, and 37 strikeouts. Judge for yourself.
DH T.J. Rumfield: 0-for-4, 3 K
3B Tyler Hardman: 0-for-2, RBI, 2 BB, K
Hardman had an impressive June (especially in the power department), going 21-for-80 (.263) with eight home runs and 16 runs batted in. 
CF Jeisson Rosario: 1-for-4, 2 RBI, 3 K
C Mickey Gasper: 2-for-4, HR (4), RBI, RS, 2 K
RF Aaron Palensky: 0-for-4, RS, K
1B Eric Wagaman: 2-for-3, 2B (6), 2 RS, BB
2B Matt Pita: 0-for-2, RBI, RS, BB, HBP

RHP Matt Sauer: (L, 0-1) 3 IP, 6 H, 5 R, 5 ER, 3 BB, 3 K, HR
LHP Lisandro Santos: 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 4 K
2.77 ERA (39 IP, 22 H, 16 R, 12 ER, 1 HR, 27 BB, 43 K). Santos isn’t easy to hit – but control has always been an issue.
RHP Jesus Liranzo: 1 IP, 2 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 0 BB, 2 K, HR
Liranzo’s organizational debut.
RHP Tanner Myatt: 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 3 K

Hudson Valley (39-33; 0-3 in the second half) (Lost to Wilmington, 4-3)

CF Spencer Jones: 1-for-4, RS, BB, K
Jones had an up-and-down month. He finishes it 23-for-94 (.245; 4 doubles, 1 triple, 3 HR; 13 BB, 30 K)
2B Ben Cowles: 0-for-5, 3 K
DH Agustin Ramirez: 2-for-4, HR (1), RBI, RS
Ramirez is an intriguing catching prospect. He has eight home runs in 58 games between here and Tampa to go along with 43 walks (17.9%) and 41 strikeouts (17.1%). 
1B Rafael Flores: 1-for-3, RS, BB
RF Christopher Familia: 1-for-4, 2B (1), 2 RBI, 2 K
Given how Familia’s season is going, it comes as no surprise that his first High-A hit is a 2-run double. Between here and Tampa, he has 8 doubles, 2 triples, 11 HR, and 33 RBI in 23 games.
SS Alexander Vargas: 0-for-3, BB, 2 K, CS (5)
C Antonio Gomez: 1-for-3, BB, 2 K
Gomez ends June on a 6-game hitting streak.  He didn’t want to see the month end as he went 21-for-61 (.344) with five doubles. He started the month at .205/.272/.280 and ended it at .249/.319/.358.
LF Anthony Garcia: 2-for-4, K, SB (2)
.199/.295/.316 in 156 PA. Typically known for his ability to take walks and hit home runs, he has only three HR this season.
3B Marcos Cabrera: 0-for-2, BB, HBP, K

LHP Joel Valdez: 4 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 4 K, HR
5.65 ERA (51 IP, 42 H, 34 R, 32 ER, 7 HR, 37 BB, 52 K). The walks and the homers certainly present a problem at the moment.
RHP Harrison Cohen: 2 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 1 K
3.09 ERA between here and Tampa (20.1 IP, 19 H, 8 R, 7 ER, 7 BB, 26 K)
RHP Nick Paciorek: (L, 4-1)  0.2 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 0 K
RHP Luis Velasquez: 0.2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 1 K
RHP Mason Vinyard: 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K
RHP Luis Santos: 0.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K
This is indeed the same Luis Santos who normally operates as a utility infielder. 

Tampa (34-38; 1-2 in the second half) (Score four in the bottom of the 9th to defeat Daytona Beach, 4-3)

SS Jared Serna: 1-for-5, K
.289/.351/.491 in 305 PA. He ran into a bit of a wall at the end of June, finishing 30-for-114 (.263). However, he did hit seven doubles and five home runs while driving home 21 runs from the leadoff position.
2B Brenny Escanio: 1-for-3, 2 BB, 2 K
Escanio, who is only 20, finishes June with a .294/.370/.424 line that featured both of his home runs this season. I won’t try to convince you that he is a top prospect – just showing you that a 20-year-old may be adjusting to a level.
C Jesus Rodriguez: 2-for-5, 2 RBI, K
His 2-run single with two outs in the bottom of the 9th finished off the comeback. Rodriguez is now hitting .294/.377/.423 in 224 PA with 25 walks (11.2%) and 32 strikeouts (14.3%). He finishes June 31-for-85 (.365). As stated a few days ago, he should get some more catching opportunities (in addition to his work elsewhere on the diamond) with Agustin Ramirez‘s promotion.
CF Anthony Hall: 0-for-3, HBP, K
.275/.389/.466 in 226 PA. A mundane ending to a solid month, where he hit .284/.373/.545 with six home runs. In May, he hit .338/.477/.471 with one home run. After a slow April (which came on the heels of receiving one AB before being injured in 2022), he has essentially destroyed this level.
DH Omar Martinez: 0-for-3, RS, BB, K
LF Daury Arias: 2-for-3, RS, BB, K, SB (7)
RF Tayler Aguilar: 0-for-2, 2 BB, K
1B Jake Palmer: 0-for-3, RBI, RS, BB
3B Beau Brewer: 1-for-4, RBI, RS, K

RHP Hayden Merda: 6 IP, 5 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 5 K
The 9th-inning rally saves Merda from what would have been an undeserved loss. He owns a 5.07 ERA in 60.1 IP (56 H, 38 R, 34 ER, 4 HR, 27 BB, 60 K). One thing those who follow Yankees’ prospects have learned is to pay attention to the middle-round pitchers they choose.
RHP Manny Ramirez: 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K
RHP Alex Bustamante (W, 2-0): 1 IP, 2 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 1 K

FCL Yankees (11-8) (Lost to the Tigers, 9-5)

2B Enmanuel Tejeda: 1-for-1, 3B (1), RBI, 3 RS, 3 BB, 2 SB (13), CS (2)
Great day for Tejeda, but he did leave the game for reasons unknown. He is hitting .311/.506/.525 in 87 PA with a 23/18 BB/K
CF John Cruz: 1-for-2, 2B (2), RBI, BB, K, SB (4)
LF Dayro Perez: 0-for-4, RBI, 2 K, SB (5)

RHP Cam Schlittler:  3 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 4 K
RHP Zach Greene: 1.1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K
He should be back in Scranton soon.
LHP Miguel Pozo: 2.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K
8.1 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 HR, 2 BB, 10 K

C Edgleen Perez: 1-for-3, 2B (2), 2 RBI, 3 RS, 4 BB
Perez is 9-for-46 but owns a .412 OBP thanks to 17 walks. That’s the DSL, baby!
CF Ramiro Altagracia: 3-for-6, 2B (4), 2 RBI, 2 RS, BB, K
.306/.358/.548 in 67 PA (4 doubles, 1 triple, 3 HR, 11 RBI, 11 R)

LF Geyber Blanco: 4-for-7, 2 2B (5), RBI, 3 RS, CS (1)

6-for-34 with ten walks.
2B Abrahan Ramirez: 2-for-3, RBI, 4 RS, 3 BB, K
SS Rafael Martinez: 3-for-4, RS, 2 BB, K, CS (3)
The 17-year-old is 11-for-37 with a pair of doubles and 11 runs batted in.

RHP Joshawn Lampson: 3.1 IP, 3 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 2 BB, 4 K
RHP Keninson Diaz (S, 1): 3 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K

DSL Yankees (14-4) (Lost to the Twins, 10-7)

CF Brando Mayea: 2-for-4, 2B (5), HR (1), 3 RBI, RS, BB, K, SB (7)
Mayea’s first professional home run and he did a bit of everything today. He is hitting .316/.381/.526 in 42 PA with a 7-for-7 stolen base rate.
3B Luis Suarez: 1-for-5, RBI
LF Luis Ogando: 2-for-4, HR (2), RBI, RS, K
The 19-year-old is hitting .407/.477/.630 in 65 PA, He is on a 7-game hitting streak (13-for-28; 3 doubles, 2 HR)
RF Andres Lacruz: 1-for-3, HR (1), RBI, 2 RS, BB, K
Just like Mayea, Lacruz hits his first professional home run.

Yankees MILB 6/10: Fitts, Hampton Dominate

News:

OF Brandon Lockridge is now a member of the Scranton Railriders. The 26-year-old (who can play any of the three outfield positions) hit .313/.395/.510 in 114 plate appearances for Somerset, stealing 17 bases in 19 attempts. Don’t be fooled by the fact he has played mostly RF this season. There are kids named Jasson Dominguez and Everson Pereira who need their CF reps.

Last year, Lockridge had a shockingly down season, hitting only .230/.300/.378 in 108 games for Somerset. This was after hitting .328/.382/.557 in 43 games for Somerset in 2021. Interestingly, a repeat of his 2021 season may have forced the Yankees to protect him (or trade him). His down season likely kept him from being a Rule 5 target.

He is a legitimate depth outfielder who can make his debut at any point. At the very least, he could be a Tim Locastro type in the big leagues. It is all dependent on what the bat becomes – the glove and speed are in place.

SS Oswald Peraza missed today’s doubleheader against Norfolk. I learned later in the day that he fouled a ball off of his leg in yesterday’s game, so that can explain it.

Scranton (28-33) (Split a doubleheader with Norfolk)

Game 1 (Lost, 4-2)

LF Estevan Florial: 1-for-4, HR (13), 2 RBI, RS, K
Florial extends his on-base streak to 28. He is four home runs shy of his season-best, set in 2021.

It is always nice to get that first hit out of the way when you join a new level.
C Rodolfo Duran: 0-for-2, 2 BB
.270/.333/.504 in 150 PA.

Florial extends his on-base streak to 29.
LF Elijah Dunham: 1-for-5, RS, 2 K, SB (8)
Dunham is 8-for-31 in June. He stole 37 bases in 2022, so he has the ability to run. He simply hasn’t been able to consistently get on base.
C Ben Rortvedt: 1-for-5, RBI, 2 RS, K, SB (2)
1B-3B Andres Chaparro: 0-for-4, RS, BB, K

  PR-RF Michael Hermosillo: 0-for-1

Walk-off RBI single in the 11th.
2B-P Wilmer Difo: 0-for-4

RHP Colten Brewer: 1.2 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 2 K
They had to go with a bullpen game in Game 2.

RHP Greg Weissert: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K
RHP Wilmer Difo: (W, 1-0)  2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K
The Railriders ran out of pitchers, so Difo had to do double duty!

Somerset (33-22) (Defeated Hartford, 5-2)

SS Trey Sweeney: 1-for-3, BB, K
Sweeney now has an 8-game hitting streak.
LF Jasson Dominguez: 0-for-4
.203/.364/.390 in 231 PA (5 doubles, 1 triple, 9 HR, 34 RBI, 39 R, 46 BB, 58 K, 14-for-17 SB). He has a .239 BABIP, which is impacting his bottom line. Overall, his season has been fine – not overwhelming, but fine.
C Austin Wells: 1-for-4, RS, K
.259/.358/.526 in 134 PA (7 doubles, 8 HR, 28 RBI, 18 R, 18 BB, 29 K). 
3B Tyler Hardman: 1-for-3, RS, BB, K, CS (2)
1B T.J. Rumfield: 1-for-4, HR (9), 2 RBI, RS, K
.234/.327/.455 in 171 PA. He has homered in back-to-back games and in three of his last four games. His power surge is an under-the-radar story.
DH Anthony Seigler: 1-for-4, HR (1), 2 RBI, RS, 2 K
Seigler is 6-for-21 in June with a pair of doubles and a home run. 
CF Jeisson Rosario: 1-for-2, RS, 2 BB, K, 2 SB (7)
Rosario is on a little 5-game hitting streak (6-for-17; HR, 3 SB). Maybe this will get him going.
2B Max Burt: 0-for-3, HBP, K, SB (8)
RF Aaron Palensky: 0-for-4, 2 K

RHP Richard Fitts: (W, 3-4): 8 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 10 K, HR
Fitts is starting to cruise along. This is his 4th straight strong start and second time he struck out 10 during this stretch. Overall: 4.25 ERA (59.1 IP, 59 H, 28 R, 28 ER, 8 HR, 15 BB, 65 K)
RHP Alex Mauricio: 1 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 0 K

Hudson Valley (32-24) (Shut down Jersey Shore, 4-0)

CF Spencer Jones: 1-for-4, 2B (18), RS, BB, 2 K
Jones hasn’t homered in 21 games. He does have 7 doubles during this timeframe, so that’s something.
SS Alexander Vargas: 0-for-5, 3 K
Vargas is 1-for-27 in June and 1-for-32 if you include the last game in May. Eek. 
C Josh Breaux: 1-for-5, RS, 2 K
RF Anthony Garcia: 0-for-4, RBI, K
DH Antonio Gomez: 2-for-4, 2 2B (10), RBI, RS, 2 K
Gomez is 8-for-19 with three doubles and a home run in June. By the way, he hit exactly 10 doubles in both 2021 and 2022. Hopefully, for his sake, he surpasses that number this year.
1B Spencer Henson: 2-for-3, 2B (10), RBI, BB
.282/.358/.500 in 179 PA (10 doubles, 8 HR, 27 RBI, 32 R, 16 BB, 44 K)
LF Aldenis Sanchez: 0-for-3, BB, K
3B Marcos Cabrera: 2-for-4, 2B (7), 3B (2), RS
Cabrera is 6-for-19 in June with four doubles and a triple.
2B Luis Santos: 3-for-4, RBI, K, CS (2)

RHP Chase Hampton: (W, 2-1)  5.2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 8 K
The only negative is that it took him 92 pitches, which may be surprising given the lack of hits and walks. Regardless, that is the smallest of nitpicks as he continues his dominant run. Season: 2.68 ERA (47 IP, 31 H, 18 R, 14 ER, 5 HR, 16 BB, 77 K). 77 strikeouts in 47 innings for a pitcher in his first professional season. The Yankees challenged him from the start and he has responded. I am not comparing him to the rise of Joba Chamberlain as every prospect is different – what I will say is that the Yankees were very aggressive with Chamberlain in 2007. He pitched in High-A, Double-A, Triple-A, and New York in his first year. I am putting the cart before the horse – let’s get him to Double-A first.
RHP Luis Velasquez: 1.1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K
A strong High-A debut for Velasquez, who pitched to a 1.05 ERA in 25.2 IP for Tampa (33/15 K/BB ratio)
LHP Josh Maciejewski: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K
RHP Mason Vinyard: 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 0 K

Tampa (25-30) (Beat up on Lakeland, 13-7. The Tarpons have reached double digits in runs scored three games in a row)

2B Jared Serna: 1-for-4, RBI, RS, BB, HBP, K
.317/.382/.522 in 228 PA (10 doubles, 1 triple, 10 HR, 33 RBI, 36 R, 20 BB, 39 K, 13-for-17 SB)
CF Daury Arias: 2-for-6, 2 RBI, 2 RS, K
Daury did all of his damage in the 9-run first inning. 
DH Agustin Ramirez: 1-for-4, 2B (5), 2 RBI, RS, BB, K
.253/.398/.390 in 186 PA. 
SS Brenny Escanio: 0-for-4, SF, RBI, K
RF Matt Pita: 1-for-2, HR (1), 2 RBI, RS, HBP
Pita (26) is on a rehab stint (this is his first game of the season).
  RF Felix Negueis: 1-for-1, RS, BB, SB (2)
LF Christopher Familia: 1-for-5, RS, 4 K
Familia has a 6-game hitting streak going. He homered in the first five games of the streak.
C Omar Martinez: 1-for-4, 2 RS, BB, K
Martinez has hit safely in 8 of his last 9 games (11-for-34; .324)
3B Ronny Rojas: 2-for-4, 2B (4), RBI, 3 RS, BB, K
1B Beau Brewer: 2-for-3, SF, 3 RBI, RS, 2 BB, K
Last year’s 19th-round pick has a 10/4 BB/K ratio (nice) but is still looking for his first extra-base hit in 2023.

RHP Justin Lange: 4.1 IP, 1 H, 5 R, 3 ER, 5 BB, 7 K, HR
This kind of stat line should just be dubbed the “Lange”.  Season: 4.30 ERA (37.2 IP, 20 H, 22 R, 18 ER, 2 HR, 30 BB, 65 K)
RHP Matt Keating (W, 4-4): 1.2 IP, 2 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 3 K
RHP Alex Bustamante: 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K
3.16 ERA (25.2 IP, 14 H, 12 R, 9 ER, 0 HR, 17 BB, 25 K)
RHP Manny Ramirez: 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K

FCL Yankees (3-2) (Mauled the Blue Jays, 10-2. This game had the makings of a crazy 25-4 score early, but they didn’t score after the 4th inning)

2B Keiner Delgado: 2-for-4, 2 RS, BB, 2 SB (4)
I talked a bit about Roderick Arias‘ chances to make it to Tampa this year – I wouldn’t count out Delgado, either. He is now 6-for-18 with eight walks and a 4-for-6 SB rate.
SS Roderick Arias: 0-for-5, 3 K
The prospect with all the hype didn’t join the party today.
CF Willy Montero: 3-for-5, 2 RBI, 2 RS
Montero is now 8-for-15 with a pair of doubles.
DH Hans Montero: 2-for-4, HR (2; grand slam), 4 RBI, 2 RS, BB, K
His DSL experience wasn’t the best but he has started strong here. You never know when (if?) something will click with a bonus baby.
3B Enmanuel Tejeda: 4-for-4, HR (2), 3 RBI, RS, 2 SB (4)
7-for-16 with five runs batted in and a perfect 4-for-4 stealing bases.
LF Dayro Perez: 0-for-3, RS, BB, 2 K
After a few games in RF, Perez makes his debut in LF. I have no quarrels with trying to develop him as more of a super-utility type. The up-the-middle field of prospects is a crowded one.
1B Kelvin Espino: 2-for-3, 2B (1), RBI, RS, BB

RHP Matt Sauer: 3 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 4 K
One has to assume he won’t linger down here much longer.
RHP Jackson Fristoe: 2.2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 4 BB, 2 K
Fristoe’s professional debut. He is listed at 6’4″ and comes out of Mississippi State.
LHP Edwar Polimir: 2 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 0 BB, 5 K, HR
The 22-year-old struck out 59 hitters in 38.1 innings for the DSL squad last year.
RHP Montana Semmel: 0.1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K
Semmel has tossed 32.2 innings at this level, compiling a 3.03 ERA and 31/11 K/BB ratio. If he is healthy, they will get him to Tampa soon enough.

DSL Yankees (5-0) and the DSL Bombers (5-0) both won. The Yankees won a crazy 13-12 game (they were down 12-5) while the Bombers took a much less crazy 5-2 decision.

For the Yankees:
2B Luis Escudero (17) went 2-for-4 with a big 3-run HR (first of his career) with two outs in the 8th inning…C Josue Gonzalez (19) contributed a huge 3-run double…DH Santiago Gomez (19) had a hit, three walks, two runs scored, and a stolen base…CF Andres Lacruz (18) had two hits (including a double), two runs batted in, and a stolen base…For such a crazy game, it ended in a mundane way: An RBI walk by LF Jhon Imbert, one of his three walks…RHP Ernesto Disla (19) calmed things down with 1.1 scoreless innings. He walked one and struck out two…

For the Bombers:

Both LF Abrahan Ramirez and 2B Geyber Blanco had a pair of hits. Blanco’s hits included a double…C Edgleen Perez drove home a pair of runs without a hit. He went 0-for-2 with two walks and an HBP…CF Ramiro Altagracia doubled, walked, and drove home a run…

RHP Joshawn Lampson: 2 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 1 K
RHP Alejandro Gomez: 4.1 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K.
Gomez is 20 and this is his third year down here.
