Yankees MILB 4/14: Josh Breaux: 2 HR, 5 RBI

News:

Nothing.

Scranton (10-4) (Held off Norfolk, 6-5, to complete the 6-game sweep. Even without Jackson Holliday, this lineup is dangerous. Scranton has held them to 17 runs in six games)

CF Brandon Lockridge2-for-4, 2B (4), BB, K
.310/.524/.448 in 42 PA (4 doubles, 6 RBI, 9 R, 13 BB, 7 K, 11-for-12 SB)
SS-LF Caleb Durbin1-for-5, SB (9), K
.340/.455/.547 in 66 PA (6 doubles, 1 triple, 1 HR, 15 RBI, 8 R, 11 BB, 4 K, 9-for-9 SB)
LF Everson Pereira0-for-2, 2 K
  PH-3B Jordan Groshans: 1-for-3, RBI, 2 K
I am not sure why Pereira was pulled from the game.
DH Carlos Narvaez0-for-5, 4 K
1B Jose Rojas0-for-2, RS, 3 BB
2B-SS Jeter Downs0-for-3, RS, 2 BB, 2 K
RF Luis Gonzalez2-for-5, RS, SB (2), K
C Josh Breaux3-for-5, 2 HR (2), 5 RBI, 2 RS
One of his HR traveled 430 feet at 109.5 MPH. The five RBI ties his personal best (July 10th, 2021). This is the fifth multi-HR game in his career.
3B-2B Josh VanMeter2-for-4, RS, K

LHP Edgar Barclay3.2 IP, 5 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 3 BB, 3 K
One of the quirks of the 6-game series they have in the minors is that sometimes a starter has to face the same team twice. That happened with Barclay, who was also the Tuesday starter.
LHP Oddanier Mosqueda: (W, 2-0)  1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K
RHP Yorlin Calderon1.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K
Calderon is holding his own at this level.
RHP Duane Underwood Jr.: 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K
LHP Anthony Misiewicz (S, 2): 1 IP, 2 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 0 K


Somerset (4-5) (Lost a crazy one to New Hampshire, 13-9. They were down 13-4 and tried to mount a comeback but it was too steep of a climb)

C Ben Rice0-for-5, 2 K
The start of the season has been a slog for Rice, who is 7-for-35 (only one extra-base hit (HR)) with a 28.2% K. 
DH Agustin Ramirez0-for-1, 3 RS, 2 SB (2), 3 BB, HBP
A productive day in a different way. His flyout in the 8th cost him his 7-game hitting streak.
1B T.J. Rumfield2-for-5, RBI, 2 RS
CF Elijah Dunham1-for-5, 2B (2), RBI, 2 K
SS Ben Cowles: 2-for-4, 3B (1), 3 RBI, RS, BB
.419/.514/.613 in 37 PA. He has hit safely in eight of nine games (two walks in the hitless game)
LF Jared Wegner1-for-5, 3B (2), RBI, RS, K
Four of Wegner’s seven hits have gone for extra bases (2 triples, 2 HR). In his debut season last year, 11 of his 22 hits went for extra bases (7 doubles, 4 HR).
RF Grant Richardson: 2-for-4, 2 2B (4), RBI, RS, SB (1), HBP
The 24-year-old continues to display the raw power. He also can steal bases, as evidenced by his 46-for-52 (88.5%) rate.
2B Aaron Palensky2-for-4, RBI
3B Max Burt0-for-2
  3B J.C. Escarra1-for-1, RS, HBP

RHP Blane Abeyta: (L, 0-2) 4 IP, 6 H, 8 R, 6 ER, 2 HR, 2 BB, 2 K
LHP Clay Aguilar2 IP, 4 H, 5 R, 5 ER, 2 HR, 1 BB, 1 K
RHP Jack Neely2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 3 K
4.2 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 3 BB, 9 K


Hudson Valley (5-3) (Split a doubleheader with Rome)

Game 1 (Lost, 5-4, in eight (extra) innings)

SS Roc Riggio0-for-3, SF, RBI, RS
2B Jared Serna0-for-4, RS, K
DH Omar Martinez1-for-4, 2 K
C Jesus Rodriguez2-for-4, RBI
His 2-run throwing error was costly but his offense keeps ticking (three multi-hit games in six games played)
1B Josh Moylan2-for-4, RBI, K
5-for-18.
RF Garrett Martin0-for-4, 2 K
LF Anthony Hall1-for-2, RS, BB, K
3B Alexander Vargas1-for-3, 3B (1), RBI, RS
Vargas hit seven triples in 2019 and six triples in 2023.
CF Nelson Medina0-for-3, 2 K

LHP Kyle Carr3.2 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 0 ER, 5 BB, 2 K
Both runs scored on a pickoff attempt error by Rodriguez. Anyway, Carr played with fire all day and eventually, an error burned him (the error occurred when Valdez was in the game). He kept the runs off the board by inducing grounders. 
LHP Jose Valdez3.1 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 6 K
5.1 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 6 K. Valdez pitched here last year and struggled, so we’ll see if he can right the ship and get to Somerset in 2024.
RHP Luis Arejula (L, 0-1): 0 IP, 2 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 0 K
Arejula’s 2024 debut comes with the built-in runner at second base. The 22-year-old has mostly been in the rookie leagues since 2021, though he did make seven appearances with Low-A Tampa last season. 

Game 2 (Won, 6-3)

2B Roc Riggio2-for-2, 3B (1), RBI, RS, SB (1), 2 BB
5-for-17 (2 doubles, 1 triple, 3 RBI, 3 R, 5 BB, 3 K, 1-for-1 SB). He has 29 walks in 122 career PA (23.8%)
SS Jared Serna0-for-2, 2 SF, 2 RBI
Productive outs!
C Omar Martinez1-for-4, HR (2), RBI, RS
9-for-29 (.310/.941 OPS) with a triple and two home runs.
DH Jesus Rodriguez0-for-3, RS, BB
CF Anthony Hall0-for-3, BB, K
LF Garrett Martin: 1-for-3, 2B (3), RS, SB (2), HBP
1B Rafael Flores1-for-3, 2B (3), RBI, RS, BB, K
3B Kiko Romero1-for-3, RBI, RS
RF Cole Gabrielson0-for-3, BB, K

RHP Cam Schlittler: (W, 2-0)  5 IP, 2 H, 3 R, 0 ER, 1 HR, 4 BB, 5 K
11 IP, 3 H, 3 R, 0 ER, 1 HR, 5 BB, 12 K
RHP Cole Ayers: (S, 1)  2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 4 K


Tampa (2-7) (Lost to Dunedin, 11-4)

DH George Lombard Jr.: 0-for-4, BB
Lombard has reached base safely in all nine games this season (at least one walk in eight games). In his short career, he has reached base safely in 21 of his 22 games (24 of 25 if I include the 2023 playoffs).
SS Roderick Arias0-for-3, RS, SB (1), BB, K
.194/.293/.417 in 41 PA (3 doubles, 1 triple, 1 HR, 3 RBI, 5 R, 4 BB, 20 K, 1-for-2 SB). There is a lot of “raw ability” in that stat line. You love the extra-base hits while not loving the 48.8% K rate. We must be patient and not be so quick in placing him in the 2026 Yankees lineup.
2B Enmanuel Tejeda2-for-3, RS, 2 SB (5), BB, K
Tejeda is 9-for-30 with five RBI and five stolen bases in seven attempts.
3B Dylan Jasso0-for-3, RS, BB, 2 K
1B Coby Morales1-for-4, RBI, 2 K
CF Willy Montero1-for-4, 2 RBI, K
LF Tayler Aguilar0-for-2, RS, 2 BB
C Manuel Palencia1-for-2, RBI, 2 BB
RF Daury Arias0-for-4, K

RHP Josh Grosz (L, 0-2): 2.1 IP, 5 H, 6 R, 6 ER, 3 BB, 5 K
Grosz goes after hitters with a sinker/slider combo. His first two starts haven’t been great but this is just the beginning, not the end.
LHP Brady Rose4.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 5 K
Professional debut for the 23-year-old. He was their 12th-round pick in the 2023 draft out of Dallas Baptist. Today, he featured a 4-pitch mix (4-seamer (38%), slider (30%), sinker (21%), and change (11%). 
RHP Yoljeldriz Diaz: 1 IP, 3 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 1 BB, 2 K
RHP Dayro Perez: 0.2 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 1 K
RHP Brenny Escanio0.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K
Tampa was out of pitchers, which is why Perez/Escanio were used (they are typically infielders)


FCL (0-0)

The season starts on 5/4.


DSL (0-0)

It will be a while before their season starts!

Yankees MILB 9/19: Trey Sweeney Doubles, Homers

News:

I have nothing interesting to report.

Scranton (71-72; 37-32 in the second half) (Defeated Syracuse, 10-5, thanks to a 7-run 9th inning)

1B Carlos Narvaez: 2-for-5, 2B (12), RBI, BB, 2 K
RF Franchy Cordero: 2-for-5, RBI, RS, BB, K
2B Jamie Westbrook: 2-for-5, RBI, RS, CI, K
3B Andres Chaparro: 3-for-6, 2 2B (23), RBI, RS, K
Chaparro’s 6th 3+ hit game this season (including a 5-hit game). 
DH Jake Lamb1-for-2, HR (6), 3 RBI, 2 RS, 3 BB
Lamb’s 3-run HR in the top of the 9th gave Scranton the lead.
C Josh Breaux: 2-for-5, 2 HR (4), 3 RBI, 2 RS, 2 K
Four of Breaux’s eight hits at this level have gone over the fence. This is his first multi-HR game since 7/10/2021 (he hit three that day).
SS Jesus Bastidas0-for-4, HBP, 2 K
LF Aaron Palensky0-for-4, BB, 2 K
CF Nelson Medina: 2-for-5, 3B (1), RS, K, SB (2)
Medina earns his first two Triple-A hits after starting 0-for-19. Again, not surprising as he was placed here straight from Tampa.

RHP Clayton Beeter: 6 IP, 3 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 3 BB, 7 K, 2 HR
This is likely his final start of 2023 (unless he is brought up to MLB, or they allow him to pitch in the season finale on Sunday). If it is, he finishes with a 5.32 ERA in 66 IP with an 82/40 K/BB at this level. Overall, in 126.2 IP between here and Somerset, he pitched to a 3.77 ERA with a 158/71 K/BB. Unless he is traded, Beeter will be protected from the Rule 5 this winter.
LHP Matt Krook: 0.1 IP, 1 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 3 BB, 1 K
LHP Josh Maciejewski: (W, 4-1)  2.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 1 K

Somerset (84-53; 42-27 in the second half) (Lost to Binghamton, 9-2. They are down 1-0 in the best-of-three semifinals. They will need to win the final two games to move on – the games are at home)

SS Trey Sweeney2-for-4, 2B (1), HR (1), RBI, RS
Sweeney compiled multiple hits in three of his last four regular-season games – good to see him keep it up tonight. 
C Ben Rice1-for-3, BB, K
CF Spencer Jones0-for-3, BB, K, CS (1)
DH Agustin Ramirez0-for-2, K
  PH-DH Mickey Gasper1-for-2
I am not sure why Ramirez was pulled.
1B T.J. Rumfield0-for-4, K
2B Caleb Durbin1-for-4, K
LF Elijah Dunham: 1-for-4, HR (1), RBI, RS, 2 K
RF Grant Richardson0-for-3, K
3B Max Burt0-for-2, 2 K
  PH Jeisson Rosario1-for-1
  3B Eduardo Torrealba: 0-for-0

RHP Blane Abeyta: (L, 0-1)  3.1 IP, 5 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 2 BB, 3 K, HR
RHP Anderson Munoz0.2 IP, 2 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 0 BB, 2 K, HR
RHP Zach Messinger4 IP, 5 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 2 BB, 6 K
Messinger mostly pitched for Hudson Valley this season (one late-season start for Somerset). At all levels (including tonight’s playoff game), he had a 126/56 K/BB over 105.1 IP. An arm to watch next year.

Hudson Valley (70-62; 31-35 in the second half)  (Lost to Greenville, 7-3. They fell in the championship series, 2-0. There were a lot of success stories at this level – they promoted a lot of players up to Somerset and that is the overall goal)

2B Jared Serna0-for-4, 3 K
Serna, so consistent during the regular season, went only 2-for-18 in the playoffs. He wasn’t striking out much until tonight. Overall, there is nothing to complain about in 2023. 
3B Ben Cowles0-for-4, 3 K
C Jesus Rodriguez1-for-4, RBI, 2 K
One of the most consistent bats in the entire system this season, Rodriguez went 5-for-18 in the postseason.
LF Christopher Familia: 2-for-3, 2B (3), RS, BB
Familia went 6-for-20 with three doubles in the postseason. In 73 games this season (including the playoffs), he compiled 14 doubles, 2 triples, 22 home runs, 63 RBI, and 58 runs scored. Successful, that is.
1B Rafael Flores1-for-3, HR (1), RBI, RS, BB, K
Flores went 5-for-13 in the playoffs with two doubles and a home run. He started to show off some pop in the second half of the season. He will be an intriguing story entering 2024.
RF Jared Wegner0-for-4, 3 K
DH Anthony Hall1-for-4, 2B (1)
Hall hit .194/.282/.296 in 24 games after his promotion. I am not going to worry about that, for now – just hope he enters 2024 healthy and ready to go.
SS Alexander Vargas: 1-for-4
CF Cole Gabrielson0-for-3, RS, BB, 2 K, SB (1)

RHP Cam Schlittler3 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 0 BB, 6 K
At three levels during the regular season (including one start here), Schlittler pitched to a 4.11 ERA in 46 innings with a 50/21 K/BB. This is enough for the 6’6″ 22-year-old to build on heading into 2024.
RHP Yorlin Calderon: (L, 0-1) 3 IP, 5 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 4 K
While he has only reached High-A, Calderon could be a sneaky Rule 5 pick this winter. He is 22 years old and compiled a 106/28 K/BB over 90 innings this season (including this postseason). Would he stick if he is chosen? That’s a different story.
RHP Matt Keating1 IP, 2 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 1 BB, 2 K, HR
Shake it off and move on to 2024.
LHP Geoffrey Gilbert1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K

Tampa (61-69; 30-34 in the second half) 

Their season is over.

FCL Yankees (35-22; 1-2 in the playoffs)

They lost to the Braves in the championship series. Their season is over.

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 7/27: Jasson Dominguez Collects 3 Hits

News:

Both C Anthony Seigler (Somerset) and OF Anthony Hall (Tampa) returned from lengthy injury list stays today. Seigler is readded to the upper-level catcher mix, where the Yankees have several prospects competing for playing time.

Scranton (46-50; 12-9 in the second half) (Defeated Buffalo, 5-1)

LF Estevan Florial1-for-5, 2B (15), RBI, RS, BB, 2 K
Florial has a 7-game hitting streak (9-for-27). He has four doubles and a homer during the streak.
SS Oswaldo Cabrera1-for-4, RBI, 2 RS, BB, K, SB (1)
The only thing he can do is perform down here and earn his way back.
C Austin Wells2-for-4, BB
Wells is hitting .286 (6-for-21) with two doubles and two walks since his promotion.
3B Andres Chaparro2-for-4, BB, K
Chaparro is 22-for-68 (.324) in July with 11 walks.
DH Franchy Cordero2-for-5, 2 RBI, K
2B Jamie Westbrook1-for-2, RS, 3 BB, K
1B Rodolfo Duran0-for-4, BB
RF Michael Hermosillo1-for-4, BB, 3 K
CF Brandon Lockridge2-for-5, RBI, RS, K, SB (10)
Lockridge is 10-for-11 stealing bases at this level and 27-for-30 overall. He is 14-for-43 (.326) in July.

RHP Randy Vasquez4 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 3 BB, 7 K
5.04 ERA (69.2 IP, 73 H, 43 R, 39 ER, 8 HR, 39 BB, 80 K). Just like with Jhony Brito, his numbers down here don’t concern me.
RHP Zach Greene2.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K
RHP Matt Bowman1.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 3 K
RHP Greg Weissert1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K

Somerset (55-36; 13-10 in the second half) (Defeated Bowie, 4-3, in ten innings)

SS Trey Sweeney1-for-3, RS, 2 BB, K
Sweeney now has a 10-game hitting streak and has 14 walks in July. His hit tool is legit.
RF Willie Calhoun1-for-5, K
LF Jasson Dominguez3-for-5, RBI, K, SB (27)
Dominguez is now at a season-high .223 (correct – he has not been above .223 all season) thanks to his first 3-hit game since May 16th. He is 26-for-84 (.310) in July. 
3B Tyler Hardman0-for-4, RS, BB, 3 K
1B Ben Rice0-for-4, BB, K
10-for-24 with three walks and two strikeouts since his promotion.
2B Max Burt0-for-3, K
   2B Mickey Gasper1-for-2, RBI
Walk-off single in the 10th.
DH Anthony Seigler0-for-3, RS, BB
Seigler’s first game since June 25th.
C Josh Breaux: 3-for-4, 2B (2), HR (3), 2 RBI, RS
His 2-run HR with one out in the 9th tied the game.
CF Jeisson Rosario0-for-3, BB, K, SB (9)

RHP Yoendrys Gomez2.2 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 3 BB, 2 K, HR
1.72 ERA (31.1 IP, 18 H, 8 R, 6 ER, 2 HR, 20 BB, 36 K)
LHP Edgar Barclay: 4 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 6 K
1.32 ERA (34 IP, 26 H, 7 R, 5 ER, 1 HR, 11 BB, 51 K)
RHP Danny Watson: 1.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 4 K
Since promotion: 1.31 ERA (20.2 IP, 9 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 2 HR, 8 BB, 24 K). The dominance is so overwhelming that you wonder if a trip to Scranton is in the cards. They can replace him with Jack Neely here.
RHP Jesus Liranzo: (W, 1-0)  2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 4 K
A much-needed dominant effort for Liranzo.

Hudson Valley (52-40; 13-13 in the second half) (Lost to Hickory, 6-5)

CF Spencer Jones0-for-5, K
SS Ben Cowles1-for-5, K
C Agustin Ramirez2-for-4, HR (7), RBI, 2 RS
Ramirez has homered in four straight games and has three straight multi-hit games (11 since his promotion). He is hitting .402/.449/.780 in 89 PA since his promotion and .293/.402/.515 in 321 PA overall. He has to be on the list of Yankees breakout prospects in 2023.
1B Rafael Flores: 2-for-3, HR (4), 2 RBI, 2 RS, BB
Flores has quietly hit .295/.375/.392 in 305 PA. He has three consecutive multi-hit games. I guess much of his prospect value will be dependent on whether he is capable behind the plate or if he is a 1B-only type.
RF Anthony Garcia1-for-3, HR (6), 2 RBI, RS, BB, 2 K
Garcia has homered in back-to-back games and has drawn at least one walk in five straight games.
DH Antonio Gomez0-for-4, 4 K
LF Grant Richardson2-for-4, K
3B Eduardo Torrealba1-for-4, K
2B Luis Santos1-for-4, K

RHP Zach Messinger5.2 IP, 4 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 2 BB, 6 K, HR
4.09 ERA (83.2 IP, 73 H, 49 R, 38 ER, 12 HR, 42 BB, 101 K). For Tampa last year, in the same exact number of innings, he pitched to a 4.30 ERA with a 112/45 K/BB ratio. He allowed seven fewer home runs.
LHP Joel Valdez: 1.2 IP, 2 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 2 K, HR
LHP Clay Aguilar (L, 3-1): 1.1 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 1 K

Tampa (45-48; 14-13 in the second half) (Defeated Dunedin, 6-5, on a walk-off single/error)

2B Jared Serna0-for-5, RBI
One is shocked when Serna puts up an 0-for-5, but at least he drove in a run (66th this season)
3B Jesus Rodriguez: 2-for-5, 2 RBI, 2 RS, SB (15)
He keeps flirting with .300 (including going over that mark during the game). He is on a 5-game hitting streak and has hit safely in 11 of his last 12 games. The 15-for-17 SB rate is an added bonus.
C Omar Martinez1-for-5, SB (8)
CF Anthony Hall0-for-2, SF, RBI
Hall, hitting .269/.382/.448 in 241 PA, plays in his first game since July 4th.
   CF Daury Arias1-for-2, K
He hit the single in the 9th that scored Rodriguez on an error.
SS Brenny Escanio0-for-3, BB
RF Tayler Aguilar: 0-for-2, 2 K
  RF Felix Negueis1-for-1, HR (2), RBI, RS, BB
A nice job off the bench.

FCL Yankees (20-14) (Defeated the Blue Jays, 6-2)

2B Keiner Delgado1-for-4, RS
.287/.394/.485 in 160 successful plate appearances. He has 20 stolen bases and is maintaining a BB/K ratio over 1.00 (21/19). 
3B Enmanuel Tejeda1-for-4, 3B (3), RBI, RS
.315/.483/.472 in 145 PA (.289/.463/.493 in 188 PA in the DSL in 2022). His BB/K ratio is exactly 1.00 (31/31)
CF Willy Montero0-for-4, K
.333/.386/.452 in 140 PA. Montero is 23-for-57 (.404) in July. Even with today’s 0-for, he has ten hits in his last five games.
SS Hans Montero1-for-3, RS, BB, 2 K
.265/.445/.444 in 155 PA. After a red-hot start, he is slumping in July (.160/.333/.200) but his overall line remains strong.
RF John Cruz2-for-3, RS, BB
.256/.343/.487 in 134 PA. Cruz has an impressive 7 HR and 32 RBI in 31 games.
LF Jose Mendez1-for-4, HR (1), RBI, RS
The 20-year-old is no stranger to the home run, hitting 12 HR in 108 games down in the DSL.
C Manuel Palencia1-for-4, RBI, RS
DH Juan Sanchez2-for-4, 2B (1), 2 RBI
Sanchez (20) has only five plate appearances this season. He is l isted as a catcher.
1B Kelvin Espino1-for-3

RHP Luis Serna2.2 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 3 K
6.30 ERA (10 IP, 8 H, 7 R, 7 ER, 1 HR, 5 BB, 13 K)

RHP Steven Fulgencio1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K
RHP Sebastian Keane1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K
1.50 ERA (18 IP, 8 H, 5 R, 3 ER, 1 HR, 9 BB, 26 K). Just get him to Tampa already.

DSL Yankees (22-13) (Lead LAD Bautista, 4-1, in the second inning. The game was suspended at that point. I don’t see a completion date listed. By the way, LAD Bautista is 30-6)

CF Brando Mayea1-for-2
DH Josue Gonzalez1-for-1, 2B (11), RS
The double isn’t official (yet) but it would be his 11th in 21 games.

DSL Bombers (18-18) (Destroyed Rangers Blue, 17-6, in a rain-shortened (7 innings) affair)
