DotF: Austin and O’Brien both go deep in Trenton’s loss

Make sure you check out that video above about OF Aaron Judge. Here are some more notes:

• Here’s another video courtesy of Josh Norris, this one featuring LHP Manny Banuelos striking out Phillies OF Aaron Altherr. It’s a 14-pitch at-bat that eventually ends with a strikeout. Banuelos threw the kitchen sink at him. Fastball, changeup, curveball, the works.
• RHP Jaron Long has been promoted from Low-A Charleston to High-A Tampa, according to Mark Feinsand. The hitting coach’s kid tore up the Sally League (1.64 ERA and 2.32 FIP) after signing as an undrafted free agent.
