Fernando Cruz went 1/4 with a single and 3 Ks in game one of DSL Cubs Red's doubleheader. He has game two off.

It's only 23 PAs but he's down to .200/.304/.250 with 2 walks (8.7%) and 8 strikeouts (34.8%).

Mulé’s control is so much better in the early going today: 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K, 1 HBP. He retired the first 5 batters before the walk and HBP.

Mulè’s final line: 3+ IP, 0 H, 1 ER, 3 BB, 4 K, 1 HBp

He walked the only guy he faced in the 4th and that inherited run ended up scoring.

Video is bad but Ballesteros has a double and homer:

JP Wheat’s making a pro debut, starting in the ACL. 2022 pick, had TJ maybe just after, listed 6’5” 185 hopefully more 205+ 

——

Trice has a HR and 2 BBs, scored twice 

——

Pinango’s got a HR too

I did not know he was hitting 100 in the back fields:

Ballesteros added a single.   Considering the SL run environment,  what he's doing is very exciting.  OPS up to .868.  Feel like that # would actually go up if he got bumped to the PCL.

Cycle for Ballesteros

What a triple by Moisés

[WhyCantWeWin]

Ballesteros should get the bump up to AAA, defense be damned 

[We Got The Whole 9]

That BBK at that age.... now he's crushing the ball. His offensive potential is insane.

[Tryptamine]

Ballesteros might be that not just good, but truly elite bat they've been badly missing.

[Outshined_One]

Few things in sports are as delightful and unexpected as a fat guy triple.

Efficient use of pitches by JP Wheat.  He managed to hit 3 batters, walk 1 batter,  strike out 1 batter, and throw a wild pitch in his 13 pitch inning. 

Also, the top 7 hitters in the Cubs ACL lineup have a higher OPS than any of the 9 Guardian starters.

ACL pitch counts aren’t accurate.
