I just spent four days out in Oklahoma City watching the RedHawks (Rangers AAA team) play Las Vegas (Dodgers AAA team). The Hawks were fresh off a roadie that taxed the bullpen so they were forced to use position players at the end of the game. Their position player "pitchers" threw 3 scoreless innings keeping in the game. Second baseman Adam Morrissey got the win. The best part about it was those three innings were the start of a 30 inning scoreless streak for the Hawks.

How did Matt Kemp and Delwyn Young look for Las Vegas?

How did Matt Kemp and Delwyn Young look for Las Vegas?

You can tell Kemp is a stud. Great balance, protects well with two strikes, good recognition of the strike zone. That being said, RedHawk pitching absolutely ate his lunch in the series. (Tip of the cap to the Redhawk pitching coach, my wife's dad). I think he had one or two hits in the four game set, and maybe drew a walk or two. He came up a bunch of times with ducks on the pond, but couldn't do a thing. If you can the ball at the knees and inside, he was guaranteed to pound it into the ground. On defense, Kemp was not particularly graceful in center field. He has decent speed, but he's a bulky guy and I was surprised to see him out there. He did not seem to be having an easy time, even on the routine plays.

 

Delwyn Young probably had better numbers on the weekend, but did not as solid a prospect as Kemp. I did focus a lot more on Kemp's at bats than Young's.
