Here's your final Link Report from Friday 6/24

Nashville wins and maintains its game-and-a-half lead through 69 games in a season that isn't split in half. Biloxi is victorious but their win won't count towards a playoff chase as their 2nd season doesn't begin until Tuesday. Nice triumph for Wisconsin and the Timber Rattlers can place that on their playoff ledger as they move to 1-0, while the Mudcats, feeling the sting of this week's disappointing results and the loss of their first half division lead, continued to stumble due to an ill-timed offensive funk to fall to 0-1.

Transactions: INF/OF Mark Mathias optioned to AAA Nashville (as INF Mike Brosseau returns to Milwaukee via end of rehab stint) C Pedro Severino sent to AAA Nashville on rehab assignment (assignment transferred from Biloxi) C Nick Kahle assigned to AA Biloxi from AAA Nashville RHP Arnaldo Hernandez placed on AA Biloxi’s 7-day IL RHP Ryne Moore placed on High-A Wisconsin’s 7-day IL OF Larry Ernesto released from ACL Brewers Blue Has a player ever been literally released mid-game? A reminder of our post in yesterday's report: 21-year-old switch-hitting OF Larry Ernesto made his 2022 debut, getting called out on strikes in the bottom of the 1st, and then was replaced defensively in left field immediately. Planned one-inning re-introduction? Remarkably, this is already Ernesto's fifth year in the system (2020 counts). Since signing for $1.7 million in June of 2017, Ernesto has posted a .605 OPS in 119 games, with a nearly 38% strikeout rate in 426 at-bats. Ernesto was 16 years old when he was handed that bounty. Big unfortunate misfire. *** Nashville Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Nashville 8, Gwinnett (Braves) 3 Box Score / Game Log Via the Sounds' site, game details, and we encourage readers to review each of the affiliate write-ups as part of their Link Report routine: Vihuelas de Nashville Even Series with Gwinnett - Nashville collects season-high 19 hits in win The box score is a feast for the eyes, yet when you see the individual numbers, one realizes an eight-run output was under-performing in a way. As @wibadgers23noted in our Minor League Forum "day-of" thread, check out how many baserunners Garrett Whitley and Brice Turang stranded during their own at-bats. Corey Ray definitely thought this was out and that's why what should have been a triple wasn't, as the broadcast crew picked up on. We'll only give a minor slap on the wrist as there were two outs, less urgency to reach third base. Big night for Corey - build up trade value this month, sir. Quality start when you allow ten hits in six innings? When nine of the hits are singles and you walk none, it sure is, Dylan File. The Sounds love their "File" puns. Just a matter of time before "File helps Nashville nail down a title". Pretty ERA's out of the Sounds bullpen, no? Lucas Erceg got himself out of his own bases-loaded, one-out jam (two walks) with a timely GIDP. Newly-acquired infielder Pat Dorrian hasn't been officially activated to the Sounds' roster. This May 2021 article helps us understand why when we first looked Dorrian up upon the word of the trade (for cash) with Baltimore, we saw he was a 2014 12th round pick of the Braves, yet didn't make his pro debut until 2018 in the Pirates' organization. Just over two days left in the Sounds' Vihuelas jersey auction. *** Biloxi Pre-Game Media Notes via the Shuckers' Virtual Press Box Final: Biloxi 5, Pensacola (Marlins) 4 Box Score / Game Log Via the Shuckers' site, game details, please review: Dillard's Four-RBI Night Capped with Walk-Off Walk - Devanney Extends Franchise-Best Hitting Streak To 17 Games You just watched several video clips within that game summary. In addition, take in the local TV sports crew's report here: Joey Wiemer, playing center field for the 17th game this season, stole his 21st base in 22 attempts. It's June 25th. This could be a 40-steal season, and among all his plaudits and well-earned attention, we don't focus on that part of his game enough. Joey added two singles here. The Biloxi lineup gives us entertaining action on most nights, it really does. It's been a struggle in 2022 (.564 OPS in 69 at-bats at two levels) for former Brewers farmhand infielder Devin Hairston. Actually, those numbers pretty much mimic those during his three-plus year stint with the Crew. Listed attendance of 2,606. Does any stadium "disguise" its fans as empty seats better than Biloxi's MGM Park? Is the casino handing out tickets as comps that don't get used? I've espoused on that before, I'll give it a rest. *** Wisconsin Pre-Game Media Notes via their all-encompassing Virtual Press Box Final: Wisconsin 4, Quad Cities (Royals) 3 Box Score / Game Log Via the Timber Rattlers' site, game details, please review: Acosta and Robinson Get Rattlers a Win to Open Second Half - Brewers Kolten Wong set to make rehab appearances Saturday and Sunday As usual, the home game summary includes the video highlight package and the Rattler Radio Postgame Podcast.

With a lack of items to spotlight from this game, let's remind you of Voice of the Mudcats' Greg Young Jr.'s hour-long visit with David and Matt - be sure to find time for this one: *** Thank you @damuelle for lightening my load on a Saturday morning - eight-game Link Reporting can be a challenge! I'll be back in a bit from the DSL, here's Daniel with the Arizona updates: Final: ACL Rockies 7, ACL Brewers Blue 3 Box Score / Game Log Another day, another loss, unfortunately for the Brewers in Blue, dropping their record to 3-11. 20-year old OF Eduarqui Fernandez provided the main highlight, smacking his second homer of the year to tie the game 2-2 in the top of the second inning. His season slash is now .277 / .306 / .532. Just as important, he didn’t strike out in this game. 21-year old switch-hitting LF Reidy Mercado hadn’t played for 13 days, but was impressive in his half-game action: 2-for-2 with an infield single and a double. Let’s hope his fifth inning exit in favor of Luis Medina was pre-planned as part of a gradual return from injury. 20-year old starting RHP Andy Garcia gave up four runs in five innings, but his peripherals were decent: four hits, two walks, six Ks. Let’s focus on the positives. Meanwhile, 19-year old Arielbi Gonzalez was hit harder than usual (five hits in two innings of work), but struck out four Rockies. It was 105 degrees at Salt River Fields at Talking Stick. Final: ACL Royals 7, ACL Brewers Gold 6 Box Score / Game Log All the runs came early in this one, as a 7-6 fifth inning scoreline held up for the remainder of the contest, unfortunately with the Gold men on the wrong end of it, dropping their record to 8-5. 20-year old RHP Phili Silverio pitched three encouraging scoreless innings, striking out six while yielding only a harmless single and walk. Taking the cue from Silverio, 20-year old RHP Fray Morelo and 19-year old LHP Fraudy Maldonado combined on another three scoreless innings, striking out three and probably making the manager wish he'd gone to the bullpen earlier. Starting 19-year old RHP Patricio Aquino wasn’t able to build on a terrific prior outing, giving up seven runs (six earned) on eight hits (four of the extra-base variety) in three innings of work, though did manage to punch out six batters. The Gold team will rue the missed chances, leaving the tying run on 3rd base in the 5th inning, 2nd base in the 6th inning and then ending the game at 3rd base on a base running blunder (registered as a caught stealing: pitcher to third baseman). The team went 1-for-11 with runners in scoring position, though the opposition wasn’t much better at 2-for-12. 20-year old 3B Carlos Roa hasn’t been getting regular playing time (last hit was June 6th), but reminded us that “everyone’s a prospect or they wouldn’t be here” by going 2-for-3 with two doubles, a walk and no strikeouts. Impressive 18-year old RF Luis Castillo (1.202 season OPS) also reached base three times, going 1-for-3 with a double and two walks. SS Jose Caballero (.997 season OPS), 2B Jadher Areinamo (.792 season OPS) and LF Eduarh Colina each reached base twice via a single and walk. 18-year old DH/INF Gregory Barrios had reached base five times on Thursday, but went 0-for-5 today. Yet he still managed an RBI and only struck out once. Again, look at the positives! 105 degrees at American Family Fields of Phoenix in this 3-hour, 42-minute tight contest. It’s Blue vs. Gold in an early Saturday game today. Go Brewers! *** OK, it's actually seven games for this report, given the inter-organizational battle here: Final: DSL Brewers #2 Squad 6, DSL Brewers #1 Squad 3, seven innings as scheduled Box Score / Game Log There are 49 teams in the Dominican Summer League, and there are no division races, it's just one lumped-together pile of standings. The Brewers #1 youngsters are currently in 49th place at 3-12. However, that team is the home of 17-year-old switch-hitting center fielder (hi, Oprah!) Luis Lara, who tripled, singled and walked to raise his OPS to .992. Only three walks, but also only three strikeouts, and as long as we're "only'ing" this sentence, only one stolen base in three attempts. Much to work with and build upon, though. For the victors, first pro homers for RF Irving Igualas (1.050 OPS) and LF (but DH'ing for the first time here) Francisco Nina (.852 OPS). Igualas is a LH bat, Nina, batting from the right side, won't turn 18 until September. Check out the line score within the box. The teams matched outputs in each of the first five innings. Crew Uno squandered a 1st and 2nd, one-out opportunity in the top of the 6th. Crew Dos (now 8-7 on the season) did not, with the Igualas home run, a two-run shot to center, the go-ahead moment. *** Normally the always-followed Brewers Player Development Twitter account will post their highlight packages a few hours after the overnight Link Report emerges. Here's yesterday's posts on a couple of Mudcats: On Saturday, it's Maryvale at Maryvale in a daytime desert affair, technically Blue at Gold. I'm waiting for them to introduce ACL Brewers Cream next year; those big-league uniforms were spectacular in the oddest of ways. Both DSL teams will play as well.

Here's your final Link Report from Thursday 6/23

Final: DSL Tigers #1 Squad 6, DSL Brewers #1 Squad 1, seven innings as scheduled Box Score / Game Log 3-11 mark for this club now. Tigers put a 3-1 game out-of-reach with a three-spot in their final at-bat in the 6th. All eleven combined hits in this game were singles, Brewers mustering four knocks only, though they reached eight times by walk or HBP. Second-year catcher Edgardo Ordonez, a left-handed bat (love those LH bats behind the plate) posted an .867 OPS last summer in 84 at-bats, and the 18-year-old Venezuelan native reached base twice here to move his early 2022 OPS to .900. One to watch. We'll give 18-year-old 6'3" Dominican rookie RHP Leonardo Rivera a shoutout for stranding two inherited runners by fanning the only man he faced. Rivera had struggled in his three prior appearances. *** Final: DSL Brewers #2 Squad 6, DSL Giants Black 3, seven innings as scheduled Box Score / Game Log Giants committed five errors, though the Crew earned all but one of their runs regardless. Minus a passed ball, Crew #2 played clean defense. Catcher Eric Martinez doubled, the lone extra-base hit among the seven Crew knocks. It was a busy day for Martinez, he had an RBI single in the 3rd and would later in that frame steal home as part of a double steal. The Brewers scored once in the 1st, twice in the 2nd, thrice in the 3rd. As always, we invite you to check out the inning-by-inning game logs we link to. MiLB.com makes the logs easy to digest, and especially at the complex level, the logs will provide additional insights during your Link Report routine. No intention of purposely not focusing a great deal on the complex league pitching today - nothing stood out as overpowering of note. The day's efforts ranged from middling to solid.

@damuelle is to incorporate complex league games into the Link Report for Thursday's games Final: ACL Angels 5, ACL Brewers Blue 0 Box Score / Game Log Tough to win with more errors (four) than base hits (three). Blue falls to 3-9. Only 87 degrees and overcast, must have been a welcome change. All three Brewer hits were singles, 0-for-3 with RISP. 21-year-old switch-hitting OF Larry Ernesto made his 2022 debut, getting called out on strikes in the bottom of the 1st, and then was replaced defensively in left field immediately. Planned one-inning re-introduction? Remarkably, this is already Ernesto's fifth year in the system (2020 counts). Since signing for $1.7 million in June of 2017, Ernesto has posted a .605 OPS in 119 games, with a nearly 38% strikeout rate in 426 at-bats. Three of the four Crew pitchers were effective here. *** Final: ACL Brewers Gold 14, ACL Rangers 3 Box Score / Game Log Much better day for the 8-5 Golden Boys in this road contest, 101 degrees in Surprise, 87 in Maryvale. You'll see in the box score the lopsided result allowed for a bit of bench-clearing with some substitutions late. However, one of the sub-outs was corner infielder Jesus Parra, playing first base in this game, who exited after being hit by a pitch in the 6th. Shortstop Gregory Barrios, signed for $1 million in January 2021 (not to be confused with shortstop Johan Barrios, signed for $1.385 million in January 2022), reached base all five trips, two singles and three walks. OK, yes, we will confuse them often - both from Venezuela, but apparently not related. Gregory is a switch-hitter. 18-year-old infielder Jadher Areinamo, DH'ing here out of the leadoff spot, doubled and drove in four. With three singles, left-handed swinging right fielder Luis Castillo pushed his OPS to 1.193 after 45 at-bats. Second baseman Jose Caballero is at .444/.529/.519 after 27 at-bats, only three K's. Others performed well as you might imagine given the score. Only one earned run allowed among the four Gold pitchers, do not mean to slight them here, be sure to check the box and log as you see fit. 24-year-old indy ball signing Ryan Middendorf is doing exactly what players in that profile need to - dominate from the start. Thursday marked his second outing since signing out of the Frontier League. *** DSL write-ups forthcoming. If we duplicate efforts, I scream!

Hope Biloxi's Robbie Hitt had a nice 26th birthday Tuesday. Here's your final Link Report from Tuesday 6/21

Nashville began their homestand in style, as did Biloxi, though we now have concerns with Sal Frelick and an upper leg injury. Wisconsin is crawling to the first-half finish line, yet we still have much to digest there in terms of video and audio. Carolina is clinging to the slimmest of first-place leads with just two games remaining in the playoff chase. All four rookie-level clubs played, only one fared well. Here we go!

Carolina is clinging to the slimmest of first-place leads with just two games remaining in the playoff chase. All four rookie-level clubs played, only one fared well. Here we go! Transactions: - LHP Justin King promoted to High-A Wisconsin from ACL Brewers Gold - RHP Victor Castaneda activated from AA Biloxi's 7-day injured list - RHP Harold Chirino activated from AA Biloxi's 7-day injured list - OF Tristen Lutz placed on AA Biloxi's 7-day injured list - C Brent Diaz placed on AA Biloxi's 7-day injured list - OF Micah Bello placed on High-A Wisconsin's 7-day injured list - RHP Trevor Gott sent on rehab assignment to High-A Wisconsin - 3B Mike Brosseau sent on rehab assignment to High-A Wisconsin *** Nashville Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Nashville 4, Gwinnett (Braves) 1 Box Score / Game Log Via the Sounds' site, game details, and we encourage readers to review each of the affiliate write-ups as part of their Link Report routine: Sounds Top Stripers to Begin Homestand - Josh Lindblom tosses six shutout innings in win No video for Mario Feliciano's first home run of the season. If a tree falls in the woods... Jeff Hem's pregame interviews are excellent, and we link to them on our Minor League Forum each week. If you are pressed for time, I strongly suggest you minimally listen to the chat with Sounds' Video Coordinator Danny Althoff. Enthusiastic and passionate about his craft, I found it to be very eye-opening regarding the sheer volume of effort the Brewers, and in this case, Althoff, puts in. *** Biloxi Pre-Game Media Notes via the Shuckers' Virtual Press Box Final: Biloxi 5, Pensacola (Marlins) 3 Box Score / Game Log Via the Shuckers' site, game details, please review: Zavolas' Quality Start Helps Shuckers to Series-Opening Win - Reetz Sets New Career High With 14th Home Run Be sure you read that game summary, so much video within!

We won't be getting any video from the Down East home games this week, which is unfortunate. The Mudcats are the lone full-season affiliate on the road currently. Brewers brass couldn't have asked for more in terms of getting the young Muddies pressure-packed pennant chase experience, well, except for getting a win here. *** Final: ACL D-Backs Black 12, ACL Brewers Blue 1, seven innings as scheduled Box Score / Game Log Admit it, you saw the final score and immediately pounced on the "black-and-blue" association. Ouch! Now I'm starting to think the extreme heat is leading to all these seven-inning games, rather than the availability of arms on these split-squads. Pitch counts not listed here, but 19-year-old Venezuelan RHP Jesus Rivero did not last the first inning. He's finding his first stateside season rough going. Three lonely singles, two errors (miscues did not lead to unearned runs), Blue's only run scored on a passed ball, but regardless, nurse the bruises on Wednesday's off day. Blue now 3-9 on the season. *** Final: ACL Mariners 11, ACL Brewers Gold 0, seven innings as scheduled Box Score / Game Log Yikes, what happened in Arizona Tuesday? The Golden Boys normally fare better, now 7-5 on the season. What were we saying about lonely singles? Four of them here. 20-year-old Dominican RHP Yerlin Rodriguez appears as though he could have used time in the DSL, either last year or this. UPDATE: For even more on Arizona Complex League action, check out the post in our Minor League Forum here. *** To wrap up, I again turn things over to my buddy @damuelle for the Dominican details. Final: DSL Baltimore Black 5, DSL Brewers1 2 Box Score / Game Log The Brewers1 squad actually led most of this game, as all the Baltimore Black damage took place in a five-run sixth inning. The loss dropped the team’s record to 3-9. 18-year old starting LHP Osbriel Mogollon pitched three scoreless, hitless innings, striking out four batters and issuing two walks. His ERA remains 0.00 through three appearances on the season (six innings, nine Ks). Throughout the organization, catchers are hitting surprisingly well and this is no different for our DSL clubs. Here, 17-year old left-handed hitting C Roman La Torre (OPS of .931 in 15 plate appearances) hit an RBI double in the second inning to give the Brewers1 team a 1-0 lead. La Torre also threw out an attempted base stealer in the top half of the inning. Neither team had any hits from the third through fifth innings, as drama built in the one-run contest planned for just seven innings. However, Baltimore Black got to the Brewers1 relief core in the sixth inning, scoring five runs on four hits and a hit batsman, the last such hit being a two-run homer. Generating just two hits in any game will not get the job done, but we’ll still note that it was 18-year old switch-hitting 1B Arnys Rodriguez (.931 OPS in 27 plate appearances) who collected that second hit with two outs in the final inning to cut the deficit to 5-2. Exciting DH/OF Luis Lara continued his mini-slump (0-for-last-10; 1-for-last-14), but still sports an OPS of .966 through 51 plate appearances. Better luck Wednesday, young men (when you face off against your DSL Brewers counterparts!) *** Final: DSL Brewers2 8, DSL Texas Red 7 Box Score / Game Log The Brewers2 squad came out on top of this high-scoring, see-saw, nine-inning contest, taking leads in the first, fifth, seventh and eighth innings, before holding off the Texas Red team for the final six outs. The victory raised Brewers2’s record to 5-7. Major contributions were received from: 18-year old left-handed hitting 1B Yeison Perez (3-for-5, 2 doubles, 2 RBIs) - 1.392 season OPS in 43 plate appearances 18-year old left-handed hitting RF Irving Igualas (4-for-5, 1 RBI, 1 SB) - 1.005 season OPS in 25 plate appearances 18-year old DH/C Brayan Oropeza (2-for-3, 2 walks, 2 RBIs) - 1.825 season OPS in 14 plate appearances Starting 18-year old LHP Anfernny Reyes (4 2/3 innings, 3 R (0 ER), 6 H, 1 BB, 2 WPs, 2 Ks) - 0.00 season ERA in 13 1/3 innings Winning 19-year old RHP pitcher Hamlet Vasquez (3 IP, 1 R, 3 H, 1 BB, 1 WP, 4 Ks) - 2.08 season ERA in 4 1/3 innings. Brewers2 opened the scoring in the top of the first inning, with SS Demetrio Nadal walking and coming home on a LF Jose Gonzalez sacrifice fly. Texas Red answered back with two unearned runs in the second inning, aided by an infield hit and an error. But the defense behind starter Reyes wasn’t all bad, as three Texas Red singles in the third inning yielded no runs, thanks to a LF Gonzalez-3B Juan Baez-C Eric Martinez relay to nab a runner at home. Brewers2 grabbed its second lead of the game in the fifth inning, courtesy of Perez providing an RBI single, then scoring on a ground out for a 3-2 lead. Reyes exited after retiring the first two batters of the fifth inning, but Texas Red then tied it back up via an error and a balk. The game remained 3-3 until the top of the seventh inning, when a Perez RBI double scored Baez (who’d singled - .923 season OPS in 52 plate appearances), then Igualas singled home Perez for a 5-3 lead. Of course, this lead didn’t lead last, as Texas Red responded with four runs in the bottom half of the seventh inning for a 7-5 advantage. The entertainment continued in the top of the eighth inning, with Brewers2 plating three runs for an 8-7 lead that would hold up until the end. All the action came with two outs, as Perez doubled and scored on a wild pitch, then Oropeza singled home two runs to score Gonzalez (who’d walked) and Martinez (who’d been hit by a pitch). Hamlet Vasquez did give up three hits and a walk in his three innings of work, but only conceded one run in earning the victory. He struck out the final two batters in a three-up, three-down ninth inning. *** On Wednesday, it's all evening action for the four full-season clubs. We'll be rooting on Carolina to hold on to their slim lead in the division. As of press time, we are scheduled to welcome back @Julio Muchachoto be your Link Report guide for the night, we're sure he'll bring back his eternal optimism and enthusiasm for all things Crew prospects after some well-earned time off.

Here's your final Link Report from Monday 6/20

Here's your final Link Report from Sunday 6/19

As usual given MiLB's new scheduling established in 2021, the full-season affiliates enjoyed Monday off, with the clubs at the top three levels all returning to home base. The rookie-level youngsters at the complex level gave us some moments, documented for you here. Transaction: C Jesus Garcia assigned to Low-A Carolina from ACL Brewers Blue *** Arizona Complex Leage recaps via @damuelle. On this particular night, Daniel spotlights the ages of nearly every player mentioned, as a reminder of just how many teenagers are at the complex. I'll have your Dominican recaps below. Final: ACL Brewers Blue 7, ACL Giants Orange 0 Box Score / Game Log This seven-inning game was the RHP Alexander Vallecillo show, as the 19-year-old dominated with his best start of 2022 thus far – 5 2/3 scoreless innings of four-hit, zero-walk (stunning), seven-K baseball. The Blue team improved their record to 3-8. Offensively, 18-year-old 2021 international bonus man SS Daniel Guilarte and 19-year-old 2021 draftee CF Jace Avina led the 12-hit charge by combining to go 5-for-8 with four doubles and four RBIs, thus raising their impressive early season OPS’ to .937 and .904 respectively. The Blue’s 19-year-old left-handed hitting 1B Quinton Low knocked in the first run of the game in the second inning, driving home 20-year old Eduarqui Fernandez (who’d doubled) in the second inning. The good guys then doubled their advantage in the third inning on consecutive doubles by Guilarte and Avina. The flood gates opened with a five-run fourth inning, with all runs scoring with two outs: 19-year old Jamal Zalm RBI single, infield error for a run, Guilarte RBI single, Avina two-RBI double. On the mound, Vallecillo was never out of rhythm, as the Giants Orange team never managed to put two men on base in any inning and only had one runner reach second base over his 5 2/3 innings of terrific work. Let’s also tip our caps to 19-year-old reliever LHP Junior Castillo for closing out the shutout by throwing 1 1/3 innings of hitless ball and 18-year-old 2B Jonatan Guzman going 3-for-4 and scoring a run. The staff was aided by 20-year old C Jhonnys Cabrera throwing out an attempted base stealer in the second inning, ground ball double plays in the fifth and seventh innings and zero Blue team errors in the game. Wait, no errors, no hit batsmen, no wild pitches, no passed balls and only one walk? What is this, AAA ball?? Great job, young men. *** Final: ACL Brewers Dodgers 5, ACL Brewers Gold 2 Box Score / Game Log The Brewers Gold squad couldn’t generate enough offense against the Dodgers in this nine-inning contest, though the pitching was solid. The loss dropped the Gold team’s record to 7-4. Starting 20-year old RHP Domingo Mejia took the loss despite a solid effort – six innings pitched, three runs, six hits, one walk, four Ks. After falling behind 2-0 through two innings, the Gold team battled back with 19-year old 1B Jesus Parra singling and scoring in the second inning and 19-year old CF Diego Larez being hit by a pitch, moving to third on an error and scoring on a double play ground out in the third inning. 2-2 game through three innings. Unfortunately, the team couldn’t generate much offense the rest of the way, with their best chances coming and going as follows: Down 4-2 in the seventh inning, 19-year old C Blayberg Diaz led off with a single, 19-year old LF Eduarh Colina walked with 2 outs, but nothing came of it Down 5-2 in the ninth inning, 20-year old 2021 draftee 3B Kaylan Nicasia and 19-year old DH/INF Jose Caballero each singled with one out, but a ground ball double play ended the game The only Gold player with multiple hits was Diaz (2-for-4) and the only RBI came via Mr. Caballero. Usual offensive bright spots 18-year old RF Luis Castillo (1.287 OPS) and 18-year old 2B Jadher Areinamo (.275 AVG) combined to go 0-for-6, but did manage two walks. Castillo also gunned down a runner at third base in the first inning. *** Final: DSL Colorado 1, DSL Brewers #1 Squad 0, seven innings Box Score / Game Log The Rockies' island kids scored their lone run in the 5th on a sacrifice fly. Considering the inning began with back-to-back singles, the damage could have been worse. The Cerveceritos only managed three singles, three walks, and that was the extent of their baserunners, as the Colorado team played clean defense. Their was only one at-bat with a runner in scoring position. It was a surprise that RHP Kevin Briceno was not brought to Maryvale to begin the 2022 season. because the Venezuelan's 2021 work was strong. Briceno won't be 20 years old until October, and don't you know, he's posting wonderful peripheral marks again thus far, as evidenced at his MiLB Player Page. In relief here, 18-year-old Dominican RHP Jesael Cabrera's rookie season is off to a similarly nice start after three outings. *** Final: DSL Phillies Red 10, DSL Brewers #2 Squad 5 Box Score / Game Log Up 3-1 after five innings after the very best of the three rookie outings of 18-year-old Dominican RHP Daurys Mora's season thus far, Club #2 saw five Philly runs cross in the top of the 6th, thanks primarily to the eight wild pitches thrown by 18-year-old Dominican RHP Franddy De Los Santos. In two appearances, De Los Santos has retired three batters while throwing eleven wild pitches. Place that in the "I can't believe what I just typed" category. The Crew responded to get back to within one run at 6-5 in the bottom of the inning when the runaway early candidate for Most Improved Player, corner outfielder/first baseman Yeison Perez, clubbed his 5th (!) home run of the season, a two-run shot. The LH bat now sports a ridiculous line of .371/.421/.943 (OPS 1.364) after 35 at-bats. Through ten games, 17-year-old switch-hitting Dominican center fielder Reminton Batista is 7-for-8 in stolen base attempts. Image courtesy of BrewerFanatic View full article
