The video above is C Gary Sanchez’s two-run homer from last night’s game. I enjoy that he has a Marcus Thamesian bat flip (0:50 mark). It’s no coincidence that Thames is Double-A Trenton’s hitting coach, right? I like to think not.

- RHP Rafael DePaula: 5 IP, 7 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 1 BB, 6 K, 1 WP, 3/4 GB/FB — 57/24 K/BB in 47.1 innings

- 2B Gosuke Katoh: 1-4, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 RBI, 1 K, 1 E (throwing) — his last four hits have gone for extra bases (double, two triples, homer), but of course those four hits came in 33 at-bats (.121)

Just a heads up, Short Season Staten Island opens their season on June 13th, two weeks from this past Friday. The two Rookie GCL Yanks teams start the Friday after that, June 20th.
