This would be a pretty fun night for pitching if Clifton wasn't sucking this year.

 

Also, Brendon Little got assigned to Eugene. He only pitched 85 innings this season, so I wouldn't be surprised to see him throw a 2 inning stint once or twice a week.

He'll start Tuesday. I assume it'll be 2 innings/30 pitches, like you suggested.

Looks like Yapson Gomez got the start in Eugene tonight, not Jose Albertos. Couldn't find anything on twitter.

Albertos will probably start tomorrow. Eugene doesn't list their starters and are on a 6-man rotation, so sometimes I guess wrong. Albertos went after Gomez last time around.

Nelson Velázquez, our HS 5th rounder, hit his first pro HR tonight.

Nelson Velázquez, our HS 5th rounder, hit his first pro HR tonight.

 

The box score says the was blowing 22mph in from CF at game time. Either those winds died or he hit a bullet.

Aramis Ademan hit 3 doubles tonight.

 

Back of the envelope calculation: .291/.367/.485/.852 as an 18-year old in short season A-ball who will stick at shortstop.

All the power and XBH has been really an unexpected delight. Very fun.

All the guys outperforming him in the NWL are a minimum of 2 years older than him. Just a fantastic offensive start for the kid.
