Baseball America published a list of the youngest players at each level (no subs. req’d). Who is youngest player in MLB? Bryce Harper, even though he is now in his third big league season. Crazy. OF Ramon Flores is the fourth youngest player in the Triple-A International League, C Gary Sanchez is the sixth youngest in the Double-A Eastern League, and C Luis Torrens and 3B Miguel Andujar are the second and tenth youngest players in the Low-A South Atlantic League, respectively.
Triple-A Scranton was rained out. They’re going to play a doubleheader tomorrow. Donnie Collins says RHP Chase Whitley will start the first game, RHP Graham Stoneburner the second game. This will make it each to get both C John Ryan Murphy and C Austin Romine a game behind the plate.
Double-A Trenton (7-3 loss to New Hampshire)
- OF Mason Williams: 1-4, 1 BB — threw a runner out at third

- C Gary Sanchez: 1-5, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 K
- LF Ben Gamel: 0-3, 1 R, 1 BB, 2 K
- LHP Jeremy Bleich: 4 IP, 5 H, 5 R, 5 ER, 1 BB, 7 K, 1 HB, 4/1 GB/FB — 50 of 82 pitches were strikes (61%) … not sure how starting will work for him, but he’s in the rotation because they need some arms early in the season

- CF Jake Cave: 0-5, 2 K
- SS Cito Culver: 1-5, 2 K

- C Peter O’Brien: 0-4, 2 K
- DH Dante Bichette Jr.: 1-1, 3 BB — on base five times in eight plate appearances so far
- LHP Eric Wooten: 5 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 5 K, 7/2 GB/FB — 24-year-old signed out of independent league last summer, then had a 51/6 K/BB with no homers allowed in 50.1 innings

Low-A Charleston (6-3 loss to Augusta)

- C Luis Torrens: 0-3, 1 BB, 1 K

- RHP Jaron Long: 3 IP, 4 H, 3 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 3 K, 7/1 GB/FB — the hitting coach’s kid
