Yankees MILB 6/3: Chase Hampton Ks 10 (Again)

News:

The Greg Allen injury opened up the possibility for the Yankees to promote Kole Calhoun before the deadline, but it didn’t happen. Calhoun is officially a free agent. Given that he opted out, there is likely a team out there that has already shown some level of interest in the veteran.

The Yankees decided to bring Oswaldo Cabrera right back into the fold, and I have mixed feelings about that. I like the kid – I followed him all the way back to the days when his minor league number weren’t very good but the Yankees kept promoting and challenging him anyway. He was a poster child for “organizations look beyond just the raw numbers when it comes to evaluation.”  But, sending him down to Scranton was all about getting his stroke and confidence back. He is here until at least Harrison Bader gets back, so it could be a short stay.

Of course, right after I hit Send, Cabrera homers in Los Angeles. Baseball!

Scranton (27-29) (Lost to Lehigh Valley, 8-6)

LF Elijah Dunham: 0-for-5, K

3B Jamie Westbrook: 2-for-4
2B Jesus Bastidas: 0-for-3, RBI, BB

RHP Will Warren: 1.2 IP, 4 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 4 BB, 3 K
Warren has a 7.04 ERA since his promotion. Every level presents its share of challenges.
RHP Michael Feliz: 0.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 0 K
RHP James Norwood: 1.1 IP, 0 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 3 BB, 1 K

RHP Matt Bowman: 2.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 4 K
LHP Matt Krook: 1 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 1 K
It is too bad that he was unable to make his MLB debut during his brief stay.

Somerset (28-21) (Lost to Portland, 4-3)

SS Trey Sweeney: 1-for-5, K
CF Jasson Dominguez: 2-for-3, RBI, BB, CS (3)
.210/.373/.401 in 201 plate appearances. Hopefully, he continues to move further and further away from the Mendoza Line.
C Austin Wells: 1-for-3, HR (8), RBI, RS, BB, K
Wells’ first home run since May 20th. He has 20 home runs in 79 Double-A games.
3B Tyler Hardman: 1-for-4, HR (11), RBI, RS, 2 K
Hardman has homered in three straight games (.235/.307/.544 (5 doubles, 2 triples, 11 HR, 28 RBI, 24 R, 14 BB, 46 K))
2B Caleb Durbin: 1-for-3, HBP

DH Anthony Seigler: 1-for-3, BB, 2 K, CS (2)
LF Jeisson Rosario: 0-for-3, BB, K, CS (2)
1B Eric Wagaman: 0-for-4, K
RF Aaron Palensky: 0-for-2, RS, 2 BB, SB (3)
Palensky is 1-for-11 since his promotion but has walked five times.

RHP Yoendrys Gomez: 2.2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K
Only his second start coming back from injury.
RHP Blas Castano (L, 3-3): 3.1 IP, 4 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 2 BB, 0 K
LHP Lisandro Santos: 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 4 K
2.86 ERA (28.1 IP, 13 H, 11 R, 9 ER, 1 HR, 19 BB, 33 K)
LHP Edgar Barclay: 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K

Hudson Valley (28-22) (Squeaked past Aberdeen, 3-2)

CF Spencer Jones: 1-for-4, K, SB (12)
.265/.311/.503 in 196 plate appearances (16 doubles, 3 triples, 7 HR, 29 RBI, 29 R, 12 BB (6.1%), 69 K (35.2%), 12-for-16 SB)
SS Ben Cowles: 1-for-4, RBI, K
.270/.345/.437 in 142 plate appearances (6 doubles, 5 HR, 14 RBI, 20 R, 12 BB, 47 K, 4-for-4 SB). He has 14 starts at shortstop, 13 at second base, and 9 at third base.
C Josh Breaux: 1-for-3, RS, BB, K
Breaux is up to 27 plate appearances during his rehab stint. The Yankees are going to have to make room for him in the upper minors soon.
1B Rafael Flores: 0-for-3, BB, K
.315/.377/.385 in 159 plate appearances. He was signed as an undrafted free agent last July, and is thus far making the Yankees look smart with that transaction.
DH Anthony Garcia: 1-for-3, RS, BB, 2 K
Garcia’s first game since 5/11. He is hitting .167/.300/.303 in 80 plate appearances. He is a three-outcomes type who isn’t fairing well in the power piece of that equation.
RF Grant Richardson: 0-for-3, BB
LF Aldenis Sanchez: 0-for-2, SF, RBI, BB, K
2B Eduardo Torrealba: 2-for-3, BB, K
3B Marcos Cabrera: 1-for-4, 2B (4), RS, 2 K

RHP Chase Hampton: 7 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 10 K
Hampton’s third 10-strikeout game of 2023 (including back-to-back games).  Season: 3.05 ERA (41.1 IP, 30 H, 18 R, 14 ER, 5 HR, 15 BB, 69 K). Remember this: This isn’t a kid who has been languishing in the minors for three years finally finding it in High-A ball. This is Hampton’s debut season after being drafted in the 6th round of last year’s draft out of Texas Tech. He is listed at 6’2″, 225 pounds though I take that stuff with a grain of salt. A trip to Somerset in 2023 is definitely not out of the question.
RHP Indigo Diaz (W, 1-0): 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K
RHP Jack Neely (S, 3): 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K
1.71 ERA (21 IP, 11 H, 6 R, 4 ER, 1 HR, 12 BB, 33 K). 

Tampa (21-29) (Lost to Bradenton, 6-5)

SS Jared Serna: 3-for-5, 2B (9), RBI, 2 RS, 2 SB (13)
Serna with his second straight 3-hit effort (he has six 3+ hit games this season, including three 4-hit games). At one point tonight, Serna had an active streak of reaching base in nine straight plate appearances. He is hitting .330/.393/.528 in 196 plate appearances (9 doubles, 1 triple, 8 HR, 28 RBI, 32 R, 18 BB (9.2%), 30 K (15.3%), 13-for-17 SB). 
CF Daury Arias: 0-for-4, BB
RF Anthony Hall: 2-for-5, HR (3), 2 RBI, RS, K
Hall has the triple slash up to .272/.396/.430 in 139 plate appearances. He is on a mini 5-game hitting streak (1 double, 1 triple, 1 home run during the streak)
C Omar Martinez: 2-for-3, 2B (5), RBI, 2 BB, SB (3)
.252/.390/.417 in 141 plate appearances (.391 career OBP in 558 plate appearances)
3B Jesus Rodriguez: 1-for-5
DH Christopher Familia: 1-for-3, HR (2), RBI, RS, BB
LF Tayler Aguilar: 0-for-4, K
2B Brett Barrera: 1-for-4
1B Beau Brewer: 1-for-4, RS

RHP Justin Lange: 4 IP, 1 H, 3 R, 1 ER, 4 BB, 4 K, 1 HR
4.05 ERA (33.1 IP, 19 H, 17 R, 15 ER, 1 HR, 25 BB, 58 K). His season is a mix of everything.
RHP Yorlin Calderon: 3 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 4 K
2.10 ERA (25.2 IP, 21 H, 7 R, 6 ER, 2 HR, 8 BB, 31 K). Calderon has excelled in this role this year – are they stretching him out to get back into the rotation?
RHP Matt Keating (L, 3-4): 1 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 2 K
2.82 ERA (22.1 IP, 19 H, 10 R, 7 ER, 2 HR, 12 BB, 34 K). Keating has put together a solid season.
RHP Cole Ayers: 1 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 3 K

Yankees MILB 6/2: Juan Carela Ks 10

News:

The Yankees made a (very very very very) minor trade today, sending C Jose Godoy to the Orioles for something. That something might be enough to buy a hot dog at Yankee Stadium. Godoy was on the Scranton Development Roster recently. When he did play for Scranton, he appeared in only 11 games, hitting .270/.341/.514 with three home runs. Godoy has 26 games of MLB experience with the Twins, Pirates, and Mariners. For the Yankees, he was signed for depth purposes but the catching position is logjammed in the minors. There simply wasn’t much playing time to distribute to him.

Scranton (27-28) (Lost to Lehigh Valley, 6-3)

LF Estevan Florial: 1-for-5, 2B (8)
Florial now has a 12-game hitting streak and a 24-game on-base streak.
SS Oswald Peraza: 1-for-4, RS, BB, CS (2)
Peraza now has a 9-game hitting streak (tonight’s walk is his first during the streak)
C Ben Rortvedt: 1-for-2, 3 BB, K, SB (1)
Rortvedt is 13-for-39 with eight walks for Scranton. He is 3-for-3 stealing bases in his minor league career (388 games!)
3B Andres Chaparro: 1-for-5, RBI, K
Chaparro has at least one hit in nine of his last ten games.
RF Elijah Dunham: 1-for-4, 2 K
DH Kole Calhoun: 0-for-3, RS, BB
1B Carlos Narvaez: 0-for-2, 2 BB, K
CF Billy McKinney: 2-for-3, HR (8), 2 RBI, RS, BB
The veteran has his OPS up to .899.
2B Wilmer Difo: 0-for-4

RHP Randy Vasquez: (L, 1-6) 4.2 IP, 7 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 3 BB, 5 K, HR
Vasquez pitched well in his spot start for the Yankees. Down here, he shows signs that he still needs some seasoning.
RHP Aaron McGarity: 1.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K
RHP Michael Gomez: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K
RHP Greg Weissert: 1 IP, 1 H, 2 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 0 K

Somerset (28-20) (Defeated Portland, 9-7)

SS Trey Sweeney: 2-for-4, RS, HBP, K
Sweeney’s first multi-hit game since May 16th. The OBP is already established (.368) – if the hits start coming, his season is going to look very good.
LF Jasson Dominguez: 0-for-3, RS, 2 BB, K
Dominguez has 12 multi-walk games this season. 
DH Austin Wells: 1-for-4, 2B (5), 2 RBI, RS, BB, 2 K
3B Tyler Hardman: 2-for-5, HR (10), 2 RBI, 2 RS
Hardman has homered in back-to-back games and has his slugging percentage up to .530 (it was .464 for Hudson Valley in 2022)
1B T.J. Rumfield: 1-for-3, RS, BB
2B Caleb Durbin: 2-for-4, HR (1), 2 RBI, 2 RS, SB (11)
Durbin’s first home run as a member of the Yankees’ organization. Power will likely never be a big part of his game – he is about contact and speed. That said, he did hit 8 home runs in 105 games in the Braves organization last year. Anyway, he has five multi-hit games in 18 games since his promotion and is 26-for-30 stealing bases between here and Hudson Valley.
C Anthony Seigler: 1-for-3, RBI, RS, BB, SB (4)
Seigler’s BB% is 19.8. If he could just hit for a little bit of average, he can be a useful MLB ballplayer. 
CF Jeisson Rosario: 0-for-3, BB
RF Aaron Palensky: 0-for-3, SF, RBI

RHP Blane Abeyta: (W, 3-3) 6 IP, 5 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 1 BB, 7 K
RHP Shawn Semple: 1.1 IP, 2 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 1 K
RHP Alex Mauricio: 0.2 IP, 2 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 2 K
RHP Danny Watson (S, 1): 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K
Things were getting a little dicey late, but Watson was able to close the door.

Hudson Valley (27-22) (Lost to Aberdeen, 2-1, in 12 innings. The pitching has been there the past few nights, but the offense has gone silent)

CF Spencer Jones: 1-for-4, RBI, BB, 2 K, CS (4)
.266/.313/.508 in 192 plate appearances. I bring up the K rate because I think that is important – but he is also slugging over .500. We have some good mixed with some not-so-good. We’ll see if good wins over evil.
SS Alexander Vargas: 0-for-5, 3 K
DH Josh Breaux: 0-for-5, 2 K
C Rafael Flores: 1-for-3, BB, K
  PR Kyle Battle: 0-for-0
  C Antonio Gomez: 1-for-1
1B Spencer Henson: 0-for-5, 3 K
LF Grant Richardson: 0-for-5, K
RF Aldenis Sanchez: 0-for-4, BB, 4 K, SB (10)
3B Marcos Cabrera: 1-for-3, RS, SB (3)
2B Luis Santos: 0-for-3, BB, K

RHP Juan Carela: 7 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 10 K, HR
The home run was inside-the-park. This is Carela’s first career 10+ strikeout game (four career 9-strikeout efforts entering tonight). He is pitching to an impressive 3.09 ERA in 43.2 IP (32 H, 20 R, 15 ER, 17 BB, 52 K, 2 HR) and is only 21 years old. Yep, put him firmly on your radar.
RHP Nick Paciorek: 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K
3.31 ERA (16.1 IP, 10 H, 7 R, 6 ER, 9 BB, 20 K)
LHP Ryan Anderson: (L, 1-3)  2.1 IP, 0 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 3 K
Not exactly a “fair” loss.
RHP Bailey Dees: 0.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 0 K

Tampa (21-28) (Used a 3-run 9th to defeat Bradenton, 7-6. They won on a walk-off wild pitch (after tying the game on a balk – baseball!)

SS Jared Serna: 3-for-3, 2 RBI, 2 RS, 2 BB, CS (4)
Serna with back-to-back multi-hit games (14 multi-hit games in 43 games played). He is hitting .322/.387/.520 (8 doubles, 1 triple, 8 HR, 27 RBI, 30 R, 18 BB, 29 K, 11-for-15 SB)
CF Anthony Hall: 1-for-3, 3B (2), SF, 2 RBI, BB, 2 K
Hall has his OPS up to .800. 
C Agustin Ramirez: 0-for-4, BB, K
DH Brenny Escanio: 0-for-4, K
LF Christopher Familia: 0-for-4
1B Jesus Rodriguez: 3-for-4, 3B (2), RS
Rodriguez, who hit .196 in May, starts June with back-to-back 3-hit efforts. Baseball!
2B Brett Barrera: 0-for-4, RBI, RS
3B Beau Brewer: 1-for-3, RS, BB
RF Felix Negueis: 0-for-3, 2 RS, BB, K

RHP Sean Hermann: 4 IP, 11 H, 6 R, 4 ER, 2 BB, 4 K, 2 HR
Teenagers in a full-season league will typically have their ups and downs.
RHP Luis Velasquez: 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 6 K
1.05 ERA (25.2 IP, 7 H, 5 R, 3 ER, 0 HR, 15 BB, 33 K). Velasquez is having a strong start. He is 21 years old.
RHP Manny Ramirez: 1.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 3 K
LHP Geoffrey Gilbert (W, 3-1): 1.1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K
2.01 ERA (22.1 IP, 17 H, 6 R, 5 ER, 0 HR, 11 BB, 28 K)

Yankees MILB 5/11: Trey Sweeney: HR, 4 RBI

News:

Spencer Jones has missed all three games against Aberdeen this week. Assuming he isn’t allergic to playing in cities that start with “A,” one has to assume he is battling some sort of injury.

Scranton (16-20) (Lost to Omaha, 4-3, in 11 innings)

CF Estevan Florial: 1-for-3, RS, 2 BB, 2 K, CS (3)
Florial has reached base safely in eight straight games. He is 9-for-29 in May with six walks and 14 strikeouts. Trying to describe Florial to someone who doesn’t follow the minors would be a fun exercise. He does so many things well but the strikeout rate is simply too high. That isn’t a “stat nerds” thing – it is a “How the heck does he survive in MLB with that rate?” thing.
LF Kole Calhoun: 1-for-5, 2B (4), RBI, 2 K
3B Andres Chaparro: 0-for-4, BB, 2 K
He was well overdue for a mundane night.
RF Elijah Dunham: 0-for-4, RS, HBP, K
DH Franchy Cordero: 2-for-5, 2B (4), RS, 3 K
This drops his Triple-A average to .440. What are you waiting for, Cashman?
C Ben Rortvedt: 2-for-4, 2B (2), RBI, K
At this level: .238/.304/.333 in a mere 38 plate appearances. Why don’t I care about what he did at other levels? Because those numbers are meaningless in every sense of the word.
  PR Michael Hermosillo: 0-for-0
  C Rodolfo Duran: 1-for-1
1B Billy McKinney: 1-for-2, RBI, 2 BB, K
2B Jamie Westbrook: 0-for-5, 3 K
SS Wilmer Difo: 0-for-3, BB, SB (5)

RHP Sean Boyle: 5.1 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 3 K
6.67 ERA (27 IP, 31 H, 23 R, 20 ER, 5 HR, 8 BB, 27 K). A nice bounceback after giving up six runs in 0.1 innings last time out.
RHP Michael Gomez: 1.2 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 3 BB, 0 K
RHP Colten Brewer: 1.2 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 2 K, HR
LHP D.J. Snelten: (L, 0-2)  2.1 IP, 0 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 4 K
Snelten was dominant but fell thanks to the ghost runner. He now owns a 2.81 ERA in 16 IP (6 H, 8 R, 5 ER, 1 HR, 15 BB, 19 K)

Somerset (19-10) (Pulverized Portland, 9-1)

SS Trey Sweeney: 2-for-3, HR (2), 4 RBI, RS, 2 BB
.275/.412/.407 in 114 plate appearances. In May, Sweeney is 10-for-27 with two doubles, a home run, and 11 walks.
C Austin Wells: 0-for-4, RBI, BB
7-for-31 with four home runs and four walks at this level.
CF Everson Pereira: 1-for-5, HR (3), RBI, RS, 3 K
Pereira hasn’t hit his stride yet but has two home runs in his last three games.
LF Jeisson Rosario: 1-for-4, HR (5), RBI, RS, BB, 2 K
Rosario hit a personal best 11 HR in 104 games last year. His five this year have come in 24 games. That said, he is off to a slow start (.133/.320/.333)
3B Tyler Hardman: 3-for-5, 2B (4), 2 RS
6-game hitting streak (9-for-22; 3 doubles, 1 triple, 2 home runs). Overall, he is hitting .238/.323/.500 in 93 plate appearances. Before this stretch, he was hitting .172/.279/.345.
1B T.J. Rumfield: 0-for-2, 2 RS, 3 BB, 2 SB (4)
One has to figure that Rumfield’s .158 BABIP will normalize in due time. In the meantime, we will take the 12.4% BB rate and 15.7% K rate. 
2B Caleb Durbin: 0-for-5
DH Anthony Seigler: 1-for-2, RBI, 2 RS, 3 BB, SB (2)
Seigler’s first 3 BB game in 2023 (he had four such games in 2022). Plate discipline is his thing, given his .382 OBP this season and .374 mark in 876 career plate appearances.
RF Brandon Lockridge: 0-for-2, SF, RBI, BB, K

RHP Will Warren: (W, 3-0) 6 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 4 BB, 2 K
2.45 ERA (29.1 IP, 26 H, 10 R, 8 ER, 12 BB, 39 K). Warren likely wasn’t at his best tonight, but he still kept runs off the scoreboard. It is important to see how a kid does when he may not have his best stuff.
RHP Alex Mauricio: 1 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 0 K, HR
Mauricio’s first appearance since 4/11. Fangraphs ranked him as the organization’s 31st-best prospect prior to this season, which isn’t so bad given his limited history for a 26-year-old (tonight was only his 50th career game).
RHP Tanner Myatt: 1.2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K
0.64 ERA (14 IP, 7 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 7 BB, 18 K). The BB/9 (4.50) is still high but it is down from last year (6.19). His strikeout rate has never been an issue.
RHP Steven Jennings: 0.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K

Hudson Valley (18-12) (Lost to Aberdeen, 3-2, in ten innings)

SS Alexander Vargas: 1-for-4, BB, 2 K, SB (6)
LF Aaron Palensky: 1-for-3, BB, K
C Antonio Gomez: 0-for-4, 3 K
Gomez hit well in April (16-for-59; .271 with a .358 OBP) but is only 2-for-25 in May.
RF Anthony Garcia: 0-for-2
  RF Aldenis Sanchez: 0-for-2
1B Rafael Flores: 1-for-4, HR (1), RBI, RS, 2 K
Flores, who has ten starts at first base and six behind the plate, hits his third career home run (24 games).
DH Spencer Henson: 1-for-4, HR (7), RBI, RS
Henson has 25 home runs in 121 career games. He is a 1B/DH only, so he will need to do a lot of hitting to be MLB-viable.
2B Eduardo Torrealba: 1-for-3, BB, CS (1)
CF Grant Richardson: 0-for-4, K
3B Marcos Cabrera: 0-for-3, BB, 3 K

RHP Zach Messinger: 5 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 7 K
2.03 ERA (31 IP, 21 H, 9 R, 7 ER, 2 HR, 11 BB, 38 K). A very impressive beginning to his sophomore season.
RHP Carlos Gomez: 2.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 4 K
LHP Ryan Anderson: (L, 1-2)  2.1 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 2 K

Tampa (11-18) (Lost to Ft. Myers, 8-3)

SS Jared Serna: 1-for-5
You mean he was never going to hit .380 over the course of an entire season? He is hitting .352/.438/.538 after his little 1-for-9 over the last two games (he didn’t strike out in either game, so his K rate continues to fall (now 7.6%)
LF Daury Arias: 0-for-4, K
DH Agustin Ramirez: 0-for-1, 3 BB
Ramirez has a pair of 3 BB games this season and now has more walks (16) than strikeouts (14). 
C Jesus Rodriguez: 0-for-4, 3 K
2B Brett Barrera: 0-for-2, BB
3B Beau Brewer: 1-for-3, BB
2023 debut for Brewer, who was drafted in the 19th round in last year’s draft out of Paris JR College (TX). The 21-year-old went 2-for-12 in three games at this level last year.
CF Alan Mejia: 1-for-4, 2 K
RF Felix Negueis: 0-for-4, 2 K
1B Ronny Rojas: 0-for-4, 2 K

LHP Brock Selvidge: (L, 1-3) 5 IP, 4 H, 3 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 4 K
3.94 ERA (29.2 IP, 28 H, 15 R, 13 ER, 1 HR, 7 BB, 29 K)
RHP Yorlin Calderon: 1 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 1 K, HR
RHP Matt Keating: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 3 K
1.32 ERA (13.2 IP, 7 H, 3 R, 2 ER, 2 HR, 8 BB, 20 K). The 22-year-old out of USC is humming, just like a pitcher from a big-name school should hum at this level. He hopefully isn’t here for long.
LHP Geoffrey Gilbert: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K
2.45 ERA (14.2 IP, 7 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 9 BB, 19 K).
