The RailRiders are 4-1 on the early season after tonight’s 4-2 victory over the Syracuse Mets.
Starting Pitcher: RHP Brian Keller: 2.2 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 2 BB, 2 K – 49% of his pitches went for strikes…retired 8 of the 12 batters he faced
In Relief: RHP Reggie McClain: 2.1 IP, zeroes, 1 K – 60% of his pitches were strikes…had a walk but got a double play to retire all 7 he faced
In Relief: RHP Nick Nelson: 3.0 IP, 2 H, 0 BB, 4 K – 66% of his pitches were strikes…a much better performance tonight than his Triple-A debut
In Relief: Luis Garcia: 1.0 IP, 2 H, 1 R , 1 K – 68% of his pitches were strikes
Rehab Watch: 1B Luke Voit: 1-4, 1 HR, 1 BB – Voit, who will be recalled next week, swung at the first pitch of the game and hit a moonshot out of the yard…was replaced mid-game by Chris Gittens
Hitting Star: LF Ryan LeMarre: 2-5, 1 SB
Big League Watch: 2B Derek Deitrich: 1-3, 1 HR, 2 BB
Catching Depth: C Robinson Chirinos: 0-3, 1 BB, 1 K – he left 4 on base
Leftovers:Greg Allen, Socrates Brito, and Trey Amburgey also all added hits…batters 6-9 went 0-11 but had 5 walks, at least
The Patriots are 4-1 in the early going, defeating the Harrisburg Senators 2-0 tonight.
Starting Pitcher: RHP Glenn Otto: 6.0 IP, 2 H, 1 BB, 6 K – 72% of his pitches were strikes…he got 18 outs and faced 19 batters
In Relief: RHP Ron Marinaccio: 2.0 IP, 1 H, 1 BB, 2 K – 75% of his pitches were strikes…he hasn’t allowed a run in 5.1 innings in 2021
In Relief: Michael Gomez: 1.0 IP, zeros – 88% of his pitches were strikes
Florial Watch: CF Estevan Florial: 1-4 – no leadoff HR tonight for Florial, who is hitting .316 in the early going…he also did not strike out
Hitting Star: 3B Diego Castillo: 2-4, 1 R – he’s hitting .368 so far
Hitting Star: SS Hoy Jun Park: 1-3, 1 2B, 1 BB
Leftovers: allof Somerset’s hits are above…batters 5-9 went 0-12 but worked 4 walks and managed a sac fly
Hudson Valley Renegades
The ‘Gades inched closer to .500 and improved their record to 2-3 with a 9-3 victory over the Jersey Shaw BlueClaws. The offense sparkled and the bullpen allowed just 5 hits with 13 strikeouts over the last 7 innings of work. Good stuff.
Starting Pitcher: RHP Jio Orozco: 2.0 IP, 3 H, 3 R, 1 BB, 2 K – 60% of his pitches went for strikes…still, not a great start
In Relief: RHP Nick Ernst: 1.o IP, zeroes, 1 K – took him 14 pitches to retire the side…nice bounce-back appearance for the 24-year-old, who was hit around in his debut
In Relief: LHP Josh Maciejewski: 1.2 IP, 3 H, 1 BB, 2 K – 71% of his pitches went for strikes
In Relief: RHP Elvis Peguero: 2.0 IP, 1 H, 3 BB, 4 K – 56% of his pitches went for strikes
In Relief: RHP Zack Greene: 2.1 IP, 1 H, 2 BB, 6 K – 72% of his pitches were strikes
Wheels Watch: SS Oswaldo Peraza: 1-3, 2 R, 1 BB, 1 2B, 3 SB – the shortstop is hitting just .105 on the season, but really flashed his wheels tonight
Hitting Star: LF Brandon Lockridge: 2-4, 1 R, 1 HR, 3 RBI – tonight’s was his first HR on the campaign so far
Hitting Star: 3B James Nelson: 2-5, 2 2B, 3 RBI
Leftovers: Every starter had a hit except Kyle MacDonald…Pablo Olivares, Isaiah Pasteur, and Oliver Dunn each had 2…Josh Breaux and Eric Wagaman had 1 apiece
Tampa Tarpons
Tampa came back from an early 6-0 deficit to defeat the Dunedin Blue Jays 12-11. They are 5-0 in the early going. The Tarpons have now scored 77 runs in their first 5 games of the season, which is honestly just ridiculous. If you’re staying up late wondering where DoTF is, you can blame the hilariously Tampa good offense (and hilariously bad pitching from Dunedin).
Starting Pitcher: RHP Jhonatan Munoz: 1.1 IP, 4 H, 5 R, 2 BB, 2 K – 56% of his pitches were strikes…the 21-year-old really struggled, recording just 4 outs against 11 batters overall
In Relief: LHP Clay Aguilar: 1.1 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 BB, 2 K – 62% of his pitches were strikes
In Relief: RHP Kevin Milam: 1.1 IP, 2 H, 3 R, 2 BB, 3 K – 50% of his pitches were strikes
In Relief: RHP Zach Kohn: 1.2 IP, 1 H, 2 R, 1 BB, 5 K – 60% of his pitches were strikes…he was lifted with the bases loaded in the 6th
In Relief: RHP Connor Pellerin: 1.1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 4 BB, 2 K – rough outing…just 40% of his pitches were strikes…walked the first two batters he faced with the bases loaded, but none were charged to himas he inherited them from Kohn
In Relief: RHP Trevor Halloway: 2.0 IP, 1 H, 3 K – 79% of his pitches were strikes…really closed the door after Pellerin was all over the place…induced a GIDP in the 9th to end the game after a leadoff single
First Round Watch: SS Anthony Volpe: 0-5, 1 R, 6 LOB – the first hitless night of the season for Volpe…nice to see him get off to a hot start regardless…he had turned it around in 2019 before missing the end of the season with mono
Third Round Watch: 2B Trevor Hauver: 1-4, 2 R, 1 HR, 1 BB – his 3-run blast was Hauver’s 5th HR of the season…his bat is red-hot but I am curious to hear how his defense is after the Yanks moved him back to the infield
Hitting Star: 1B Chad Bell: 1-3, 1 HR, 1 BB, 4 RBI – Bell’s grand slam in the 3rd got Tampa back in the game and closed the gap from 6-1 to 6-5
Leftovers: lots of offense…the 6-9 hitters (including Bell) were 6-13 with 3 walks…Andres Chapparo added 2 hits
Third Round Watch: 2B Trevor Hauver: 1-4, 2 R, 1 HR, 1 BB – his 3-run blast was Hauver’s 5th HR of the season…his bat is red-hot but I am curious to hear how his defense is after the Yanks moved him back to the infield
Hauver is scalding hot in the early going at Low A, in just 22 PA's. He also plays left field, which is where the interest is.
If he keeps hitting, how long before he gets promoted to High A? He is 22, so not all that young to be in Low A.
