DotF: Florial goes deep again in Charleston’s win

Game 71: Win a game this isn't funny anymore
Toe to the rescue! Tanaka tosses gem and Yankees walk-off with 2-1 win over Rangers

Lots of Yankees made this week’s Prospect Hot Sheet: 2B Nick Solak (3rd), RHP Chance Adams (9th), OF Dustin Fowler (11th), and 3B Miguel Andujar (17th). Solak is hitting .310/.417/.448 (155 wRC+) with nearly as many walks (38) as strikeouts (43) overall. Gotta think a promotion to Double-A Trenton is coming soon. High-A isn’t much of a challenge for a guy who was a three-year starter at Louisville.

Triple-A Scranton (9-2 win over Pawtucket)

  • 3B Tyler Wade: 1-3, 2 R, 1 RBI, 2 BB, 3 SB, 1 E (throwing) — tenth game at third base this season … 23-for-27 (85%) in steal attempts
  • RF Tyler Austin: 2-4, 1 R, 1 2B, 2 RBI, 1 BB, 1 K — threw a runner out at the plate … 6-for-15 (.400) with two doubles and three home runs in his last four games
  • LF Clint Frazier: 1-5, 1 R, 1 3B, 1 RBI — here’s video of the triple
  • SS Cito Culver: 2-3, 2 R, 1 2B, 1 HR, 2 RBI, 1 BB — he’s hitting .250/.326/.487 this year, you know … eight homers is only one shy of his career high
  • LHP Caleb Smith: 6 IP, 6 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 6 K, 6/3 GB/FB — 64 of 98 pitches were strikes (65%) … 77/21 K/BB in 78.2 innings for the Rule 5 Draft pick … he was in camp with the Cubs this year but couldn’t stick

Double-A Trenton (9-7 loss to Reading)

  • SS Thairo Estrada: 1-5, 1 R
  • 2B Abi Avelino: 1-5, 1 R, 1 3B, 1 RBI, 1 K, 2 E (fielding, throwing)
  • 1B Mike Ford: 2-4, 2 R, 1 HR, 2 RBI, 1 BB — six homers in his last 18 games
  • RF Billy McKinney: 2-5 — threw a runner out at second … 21-for-61 (.344) in his last 17 games
  • CF Rashad Crawford: 1-4, 1 R, 1 RBI
  • LHP Josh Rogers: 3 IP, 8 H, 7 R, 7 ER, 1 BB, 3 K, 2 HB, 1/5 GB/FB — 42 of 61 pitches were strikes (69%) … allowed seven runs total in his last four starts and 25.1 innings

High-A Tampa (4-1 loss to Dunedin)

  • CF Jorge Mateo: 1-4 — 6-for-23 (.261) during his one-a-day six-game hitting streak
  • LF Tito Polo: 0-4, 1 CS
  • 2B Nick Solak: 0-3, 1 RBI
  • SS Kyle Holder: 1-4, 1 2B — 11-for-28 (.393) in his last eight games
  • DH Trey Amburgey: 1-3, 1 K, 1 SB
  • LHP Ian Clarkin: 6 IP, 6 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 0 BB, 4 K, 1 WP, 7/5 GB/FB, 1 E (pickoff) — 59 of 81 pitches were strikes (73%) … allowed four runs in the first two innings, then retired 13 of the final 14 batters he faced

Low-A Charleston (4-3 win over Greenville)

  • 2B Hoy Jun Park: 2-5, 1 3B, 1 RBI, 1 K, 1 SB
  • RF Blake Rutherford & LF Isiah Gilliam: both 0-4, 1 K — Gilliam committed a fielding error
  • CF Estevan Florial: 2-3, 2 R, 1 HR, 1 RBI, 1 BB, 1 K, 2 E (throwing, fielding) — three homers in his last eleven games now
  • SS Diego Castillo: 1-4, 3 K
  • Nick Nelson: 4 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 4 K, 1 HB, 3/2 GB/FB — 42 of 72 pitches were strikes (58%) … 44/19 K/BB in 42.1 innings this year

Short Season Staten Island (8-6 win over Hudson Valley)

  • DH Dom Thompson-Williams: 3-5, 1 R, 2 2B, 2 RBI
  • SS Oswaldo Cabrera: 2-3, 2 R, 1 RBI, 1 BB — 6-for-17 (.353) in four games here
  • CF Leonardo Molina: 1-4, 1 BB, 1 K, 1 E (fielding)
  • RHP Alex Vargas: 5 IP, 9 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 0 BB, 3 K, 4/3 GB/FB — 48 of 66 pitches were strikes (73%)
  • RHP Branden Pinder: 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 0 K, 2/0 GB/FB — seven pitches, five strikes … I imagine they’ll move his rehab up soon

Rookie Pulaski (9-5 win over Princeton)

  • CF Pablo Olivares: 2-5, 1 K
  • SS Jesus Bastidas: 1-4, 2 R, 1 2B, 1 BB
  • 1B Eric Wagaman: 2-4, 1 R, 1 2B, 2 RBI — 4-for-8 with a double and two homers in two pro games for this year’s 13th round pick … he’s only 19 years old too
  • DH Dermis Garcia: 0-2, 1 R, 2 BB, 1 K
  • C Saul Torres: 0-3, 1 R, 1 K, 2 PB
  • LF Brayan Emery: 2-4, 1 R, 1 3B, 4 RBI, 2 K, 1 E (fielding)
  • RHP Jio Orozco: 5 IP, 6 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 3 BB, 4 K, 6/3 GB/FB — 47 of 72 pitches were strikes (65%) … 52/37 K/BB in 61.1 total innings this season

Both Rookie GCL Yanks affiliates begin play Monday. The rosters aren’t out yet. Probably won’t be until Monday morning. That’s how it usually works way down here.
