Morel is going to become a much discussed player around here very quickly.

I agree.

 

For reference: The Eugene Emeralds play their first game one week from today (6/15) while the debut for the AZL is 6/18.

Apparently Keegan Thompson is getting the start instead of Clark for Myrtle Beach today.

De La Cruz giving up a lot of hard contact early...

Yep. Like Ademan last summer and Paredes two summers ago.

Ademan with his second HR in two nights, helps tie the game

 

He's 2/3 tonight and has gotten better since being bumped up to the second spot in the lineup.

 

That’s #3 on the season.

Underwood has 10 Ks through 5. He has also given up 4 ER and has 4 BB.

I was thinking Ademan might need to repeat High-A to start next season, but it seems like he's adjusting and could handle AA. That will be tough, but he'll be SO much younger than everyone else at AA. Even if he struggles it'll be good for his development.

 

I think he still has a lot of room to get stronger without losing flexibility. What is he right now? Like 160 lbs? I think he'll add another 10-15 lbs and start to hit for more power as he gets older. Hopefully he won't lose speed and range while doing so...

Dillon Maples last 6 appearances: 6 IP, 3 H, 0 ER, 2 BB, 11 K.
