We plan on a one-game Link Report for Tuesday AM. The ACL Brewers game begins at 8:00 PM Central in Goodyear vs. the Reds.

19-year old RHP Ma’Kale Holden gets the start for the ACL Brewers (3-3), who play at the ACL Reds (3-2). Holden was dominant in his professional debut a week ago (5 IP, 0 R, 6 Ks).

The position player pattern has the squad prioritizing 8 players (Acosta, Antunez, Fenelon, Frias, Mills, Hughes, Martinez, Rangel), 1 of whom rests per game (Martinez tonight), thus allowing 2 other players to get periodic starts (C Malachai Halterman, 2B Moises Polanco tonight).

Antunez just hit a 114.6 EV tank off a hanging slider

Antunez had a second 114 EV batted ball only to be outdone by Frias who had a 117 EV batted ball

[Terry]

Frias has three 110mph+ batted balls in this single game...🤯

After revisiting the data unfortunately stats from Goodyear Ballpark is probably not trustworthy, so EV shoud be taken with a grain of salt. Cause apparently Holden had a 104mph sinker today😂

Oh my. Thank you for catching this

It's a good thing Rangel can hit. I have the ongoing feeling he's a bit of an ongoing defensive 'project'. But, man alive, he sure can hit. Took last year's DSL momentum stateside and continues to slap that ball all over.
