not a bad way to hit your first professional home run.

[We Got The Whole 9]

Triantos struck out for the first time in 5 games, but also tripled. I'd like to see video of that to see him in full stride.

Despite having been a bonus baby, Perlaza's got fairly quiet tools right? Because numbers wise there's a lot to like.

Longenhagen describes him as a 'gamer' with 'some feel for contact but no power', so I'm guessing the tools are not loud. He's interesting though, he's a switch hitter who has a .821 OPS against RHP and .800 against LHP. It's more than just the last 40 games too, since June 1: 298 PA, .286/.362/.500, 31/76 BB/K

I'm thinking Chase Watkins may be too advanced for rookie ball.

 

4.2 innings, 17 total PA: 13 K's.

Heh heh.

 

Not that it matters, but I don't think I understand some of his numbers. 4.2 IP = 14 outs, 13 K's would suggest only one out came by other means. But milb.com lists him with a 1.0 GO/AO. If he's only retired one guys via a batted ball, how could he have a 1.0 GO/AO? So, maybe that means he had a wild-pitch type K where the whiffer reached, so that allowed him two batted-ball outs, one in air and one on ground?

 

Stats list 4 hits and 1 BB. If he's K'd 13, maybe one of them reached anyway, plus he's gotten both a flyout and a groundout to account for the 1.0 GO/AO, plus he's allowed a BB and 4 hits, how can his total PA be only 17? 13K + 1 groundout + 1 air-out + 4 hits + 1 BB, that's like 20 PA. Did 3 guys gets outed on the bases via DP and caught-stealing or something? A fun collection of weird numbers. Fun with rookie ball.

Last night Watkins had the 6K/2IP outing.

Previous night it was Zach Leigh with 6K/2IP. He's at 9K/3.2 IP.

 

Did we ever get a signing bonus for him? The full $125K slot for a 16th rounder? Or was he more of a discount guy?

 

Watkins was 8th round, but got the $125K amount that 13th, 14th, and 15th rounders got. Olivo the 17th rounder was $75; Hambley the 18th rounder was $200.

 

Leigh is the only draftee who I never saw a number for....
