In case you missed it earlier, the Yankees used their first round pick tonight on South Carolina RHP Clarke Schmidt. He is currently recovering from Tommy John surgery. Now here are the day’s notes:
- OF Clint Frazier spoke to John Wagner about his current mindset as he’s gotten further away from last year’s trade. Frazier admitted last season he felt a lot of pressure to perform after being dealt for Andrew Miller. “For a 21-year-old, I didn’t handle those things for the best, performance-wise. But you go through those things for a reason,” he said.
- Make sure you check out Josh Norris’ feature on SS Gleyber Torres. “For me, it’s pretty different,” said Torres of playing third base. “I’ve never played third base, so the key is to play hard, do early work, take ground balls at second and third base.”
- RHP Ronald Herrera was named the Double-A Eastern League Pitcher of the Week. Herrera, who came over from the Padres in the Jose Pirela trade, struck out nine in 6.2 scoreless innings in last week’s start.
Triple-A Scranton and Double-A Trenton had scheduled off-days.
High-A Tampa (2-1 win over Bradenton in 11 innings)
- 2B-SS Jorge Mateo: 0-5, 3 K — in a 3-for-31 (.097) slump with nine strikeouts
- 1B Chris Gittens: 0-1 — left the game after making a play at first base on a strikeout/wild pitch, so maybe there was a collision?
