Ethan Small Named Double-A South Pitcher of the Week

Gray Earns Second Straight Player of the Week Award

Gray led Low-A East in home runs, triples, slugging, extra-base hits and total bases during the last week of play

[Outlander]

Good to see some of the lower level outfielders playing well. Was thinking maybe Joe Gray would get a promotion mid season but would also need one or more of Howell/Mitchell/Ward to get promoted to Biloxi then, all of them paying well.

Ethan Small got a blurb in the Fangraphs Daily Prospect Notes. Longenhagen mentions some development with Small’s breaking balls, which is definitely noteworthy (though he still says they’re below average).

[BallFour]

I concur with that blurb, his best secondary offering yesterday was his changeup. Small gave up no hard contact yesterday, seriously not even a hard hit foul ball all while topping out at 91-92. Impressive to say the least.

Fantastic update for Dillon Thomas with the Mariners.

You may have noticed in the box score that Gabe Holt had to exit after grounding out to open the game. MiLB.TV subscribers can watch the play at the 33:15 minute mark here. Holt landed on the bag awkwardly but exited under his own power.

Wow, this is a massively disappointing graphic... Our entire starting lineup except Huira is filled by waiver claims and minor league free agents.
