DotF: Refsnyder goes deep, benches clear in Scranton’s win

The Yankees have signed UMass Lowell OF/RHP Geoff DeGroot as an undrafted free agent, according to Justin Soderberg. DeGroot both pitched and played the outfield in college, but I don’t know what he’ll do as a pro. He hit 274/.369/.319 this spring and had a 4.74 ERA with a 22/10 K/BB in 47.1 innings.

Also, UTIL Jonathan Galvez was released from the Triple-A Scranton roster, according to Chad Jennings. IF Ali Castillo was called up from Double-A Trenton to fill the roster spot.

Triple-A Scranton (13-3 win over Rochester)

  • CF Ben Gamel: 2-4, 2 R, 1 RBI, 1 BB — threw a runner out at second
  • LF Jose Pirela: 3-4, 3 R, 1 2B, 1 RBI, 1 K
  • DH Rob Refsnyder: 4-5, 2 R, 1 2B, 1 HR, 4 RBI, 1 K — second homer in his last six games after hitting two homers in his first 50 games
  • C Austin Romine: 0-0, 1 HBP — left the game after taking a pitch to the head in the first inning … the benches cleared after that
  • RF Ramon Flores: 1-5, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 RBI, 1 K
  • LHP Jose DePaula: 5.2 IP, 7 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 2 K, 1 HB, 6/6 GB/FB — 51 of 77 pitches were strikes (66%)
  • RHP Nick Rumbelow: 1 IP, zeroes, 2/1 GB/FB — half of his 12 pitches were strikes … he and manager Dave Miley were ejected for an unknown reason

Double-A Trenton (4-2 loss to Harrisburg) they faced a rehabbing Doug Fister

  • CF Jake Cave: 0-4, 1 K
  • DH Aaron Judge: 1-4, 1 R, 1 HR, 2 RBI, 1 K
  • 1B Greg Bird: 1-4, 1 K
  • 3B Eric Jagielo: 2-4
  • 2B Tony Renda: 0-3, 1 K — made his organizational debut against his former team
  • RHP Eric Ruth: 6.1 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 7 K, 6/3 GB/FB — 61 of 90 pitches were strikes (68%)

High-A Tampa (5-3 loss to Daytona)

  • SS Abi Avelino: 0-4, 1 R, 1 BB, 1 K, 1 E (fielding)
  • 2B Tyler Wade: 1-2, 3 BB, 1 K, 1 SB — had three walks in his previous 14 games combined
  • 3B Miguel Andujar: 1-4, 1 K
  • CF Mark Payton: 0-2, 1 R, 2 BB — 30/26 K/BB in 50 games this year
  • LHP Chaz Hebert: 5 IP, 4 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 2 BB, 6 K, 1 Balk, 1 HB, 5/3 GB/FB

Low-A Charleston (10-2 loss to Asheville)

  • DH Jorge Mateo: 1-5, 1 2B, 4 K
  • CF Dustin Fowler: 3-5, 1 R, 1 HR, 3 RBI, 1 K, 1 SB — second straight game with a dinger
  • SS Angel Aguilar: 0-5, 1 RBI, 3 K
  • LF Austin Aune: 1-4, 1 R, 1 2B — threw a runner out at third
  • RF Alex Palma: 2-4, 2 R, 1 RBI — had been in a 2-for-44 (.045) mega-slump
  • LHP Justin Kamplain: 4 IP, 10 H, 9 R, 9 ER, 2 BB, 4 K, 3/0 GB/FB — 42 of 69 pitches were strikes (61%) … yikes
