Last day of the regular season, everyone. It’s been real. (Yes, DotF is still around in the playoffs for you noobs)
Triple-A Scranton (4-3 win over Lehigh Valley in 12 innings) they finished at 87-56, tops in the North Division … their playoff series with Columbus starts on Wednesday when D.J. Mitchell gets the ball
Reid Gorecki, CF: 2 for 6, 1 2B, 1 RBI, 2 K, 1 SB – threw a runner out at second
Kevin Russo, 2B, Juan Miranda, DH & Edwar Gonzalez, RF: all 0 for 5, 1 K
Jesus Montero, C: 1 for 5, 1 R, 1 HR, 1 RBI, 1 K – finishes the season at .289/.353/.517 with career highs in doubles (34), triples (3), homers (21), walks (46), and strikeouts (91) … the strikeouts suck, but it’s not an absurd amount and you’d expect him to whiff more as a 20-year-old at this level … all in all, considering how poorly he started, it was a rather successful season for the Yankees’ undisputed top prospect
Jorge Vazquez, 1B: 2 for 4, 1 R, 1 HR, 1 RBI, 1 BB
Chad Huffman, LF: 1 for 4, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 K
Eric Bruntlett, SS: 1 for 5, 1 R, 2 K, 1 SB
Brandon Laird, 3B: 1 for 5, 1 2B, 1 RBI – finished the year at .281/.336/.482 with a career high 25 homers and 42 walks between AA and AAA
Hector Noesi: 6.2 IP, 8 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 6 K, 4-6 GB/FB – 63 of 94 pitches were strikes (67%) … finishes with a 3.20 ERA and a 153-28 K/BB ratio in 160.1 IP at three different levels
Royce Ring: 0.1 IP, zeroes, 1 K – three of his four pitches were strikes
Zack Segovia: 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 1 K, 0-2 GB/FB – nine of 13 pitches were strikes (69.2%)
Kevin Whelan: 1 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 1 K, 1-0 GB/FB – half of his 22 pitches were strikes … I guess he’s the closer with Jon Albaladejo in New York, but he blew the save in this game when he served up a solo homer
Amaury Sanit: 2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 1 K, 1 Balk, 1-1 GB/FB – 21 of 33 pitches were strikes (63.6%)
John Van Benschoten: 1 IP, zeroes, 1 K, 1-1 GB/FB – nine of 15 pitches were strikes (60%)
Double-A Trenton (5-2 win over New Britain) they finished at 83-59, tops in the Eastern Division … their playoff series with New Hampshire starts on Wednesday … they’re going to get some help for the playoffs, because Rob Segedin’s on the way to fill the hole that’s existed at third since Laird was promoted … pretty aggressive move for this year’s draftee, but I like it
Austin Krum, CF: 1 for 3
Taylor Grote, PH-RF: 0 for 1, 1 BB, 1 K – he’s up from Charleston to help out in the postseason … pretty sure he was put in to get his feet wet and to also give Krum a bit of a rest before the playoffs
Corban Joseph, 2B: 1 for 4, 1 3B, 1 RBI, 2 K – finished the year at .283/.362/.415 with a career high 33 doubles (previous career high was 17) and six homers … impressive stuff for a 21-year-old in A+ and AA
Matt Cusick, 2B: 0 for 1 – same deal as Grote, just giving CoJo a rest
Dan Brewer, RF-CF: 1 for 4, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 K – the triple slash doesn’t stand out (.270/.346/.407), but he set career highs in doubles (34), homers (10), and steals (29)
Austin Romine, DH: 2 for 4, 2 R, 1 2B, 1 HR, 2 RBI, 1 K – finished at .268/.324/.402 with a career high 31 doubles and 37 walks
Marcos Vechionacci, 1B: 2 for 4, 1 R, 1 HR, 2 RBI – hit .283/.350/.421 with 11 homers … too bad he didn’t do that like, three years ago
Rene Rivera, C: 1 for 3
R.J. Baker, C: 0 for 1
Damon Sublett, LF: 1 for 3
Luis Nunez, SS & Justin Snyder, 3B: both 1 for 4 – Snyder scored a run
Andrew Brackman: 5 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 3 K, 7-4 GB/FB – finishes with a 3.90 ERA and a 126-39 K/BB ratio in 140.2 IP … pretty amazing after last season
J.B. Cox: 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 0 K, 2-1 GB/FB – I have to admit, I didn’t expect to see him at all this year
Wilkins Arias: 1 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 1 K, 1 WP, 2-0 GB/FB
Josh Schmidt: 1 IP, zeroes, 1 K, 1-1 GB/FB
Ryan Pope: 1 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 2 K, 1 HB, 0-1 GB/FB – 3.61 ERA with a 62-14 K/BB ratio in 57.1 IP as a reliever … he really gave the Yanks something to think about this winter when it comes to protecting him from the Rule 5 Draft
High-A Tampa‘s regular season is over. Their playoff series with Dunedin starts tomorrow.
Low-A Charleston (2-1 win over Greensboro in 10 innings, walk-off style) they finished at 65-74, near the bottom of the Southern Division … no postseason for them
Slade Heathcott, CF: 1 for 5, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 RBI, 2 K – doubled in the tying run in the bottom of the 10th, then came around to score the winner
Emerson Landoni, 2B: 1 for 2, 3 BB, 1 K – got picked off second
Rob Lyerly, 3B: 3 for 5, 1 RBI, 1 CS – walk-off single … finished the year at .312/.356/.425 … not a bad year at all
Luke Murton, 1B: 1 for 3, 1 2B, 1 BB, 1 K
DeAngelo Mack, DH: 0 for 4, 3 K
Neil Medchill, LF: 0 for 3, 3 K, 1 HBP – finished the year with 154 strikeouts in 417 at-bats (2.7 at-bats per strikeouts), 18 more strikeouts than anyone in the system
Ramon Flores, RF: 1 for 4, 1 K, 1 SB
Kelvin Castro, SS & Hector Rabago, C: both 0 for 3, 1 BB – Castro K’ed once, Rabago thrice … Castro also got caught stealing while Rabago allowed a passed ball
Shane Greene: 6 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 8 K, 1 HB, 4-6 GB/FB
Kelvin Perez: 4 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 4 K, 1 WP, 6-2 GB/FB

The Rookie GCL Yanks season is over. The GCL Phillies won the league championship.
