| Remember when everyone was upset with this pick? |
Hitter of Month: Gavin Cecchini continued his breakout 2015 with the best month of the Mets top prospects. He is controlling the strike zone, and punishing only the pitches he wants to hit.
Starting Pitcher
of the Month: Matz and Meisner make the headlines, but Brad Wieck was a strikeout machine starting for the Savannah in May, with 37 of 99 batters faced retired via the K.
Relief Pitcher of the
Month: If it weren't for walks, FSL batters might never reach against St. Lucie closer Akeel Morris, who should be on his way to Binghamton soon.
Team of the Month: The Sand Gnats got a boost offensively from the addition of Eudor Garcia, but their starting pitching helped guide them to the best record in the system

SO, 2 HR, .652 OPS, .285 BABIP, 9.1 K%: 3.9 BB%; He’s allowed 2 ER or less in all but one of his appearances with Las

10 BB, 8 SO, 4 HR, HBP, .851 OPS, .275 BABIP, 6.9 K%: 8.6 BB%; He’s held righties to a .575 OPS so far, but

BB, 18 SO, 4 HR, 2 HBP, .807 OPS, 14.4 K%: 12.8 BB%; Righties punish Gorski’s mistakes, and he doesn’t dominate lefties
Steven Matz – 6 G, 2.08 ERA, 39 IP, 31 H, 11 R (9 ER), 9 BB,
39 SO, 3 HR, HBP, .602 OPS, .272 BABIP, 25.2 K%: 5.8 BB%; #WANT, control took a big step forward in May, after a 12.3 BB% in
April

4 HR, .787 OPS, .313 BABIP, 16.5 K%: 3.1 BB%; He put together 3 nice starts to start the month (3.15 ERA, 17 K: 2

Las Vegas
Batters
Brandon Allen – 96 PA, .294/.354/.471, .338 BABIP, 15 R, 6
2B, 3 HR, 15 RBI, 9 BB, 2 SF, SB, 19 SO, 2 GIDP, CS; Allen has a .958 OPS in 131 PA against RHP, and a .282 OPS in 30 PA
against LHP
Jayce Boyd – 110 PA, .320/.400/.454, .341 BABIP, 14 R, 10
2B, HR, 5 RBI, 12 BB, HBP, 2 SB, 8 SO, 7 GIDP, CS; His last 10 PA were with Las Vegas, and he went 3-8
Alex Castellanos – 85 PA, .195/.259/.390, .218 BABIP, 12 R,
6 2B, 3 HR, 14 RBI, 5 BB, 2 HBP, SF, SB, 20 SO, 2 GIDP; That OPS is half of what he provided in April, but he still hit for
power
Brooks Conrad – 90 PA, .167/.278/.295, .183 BABIP, 11 R, 4
2B, 2 HR, 15 RBI, 10 BB, 2 HBP, 16 SO, GIDP; So many injuries that Brooks Conrad is getting regular playing time
with Las Vegas
Kyle Johnson – 43 PA, .220/.256/.390, .267 BABIP, 6 R, 4 2B,
HR, 5 RBI, BB, HBP, 2 SB, 10 SO, CS; Speedy
outfielder was slated to earn some playing time in CF before hurting his hand
Johnny Monell – 34 PA, .355/.382/.387, R, 2B, 5 RBI, 2 BB,
SF, 2 SO; After a promotion that never
made sense to me, he went 1-16 over two weeks with the Mets
Matt Reynolds – 123 PA, .239/.293/.301, .297 BABIP, 16 R, 7
2B, 7 RBI, 8 BB, HBP, SF, 3 SB, 23 SO, 3 GIDP, 2 CS; Hits stopped falling in at an elite rate and Reynolds suddenly doesn’t
look like a shiny prospect anymore. He started the month 9-23 with 4 doubles
T.J. Rivera – 114 PA, .255/.307/.283, .290 BABIP, 10 R, 3
2B, 6 RBI, 5 BB, 3 HBP, 13 SO, 5 GIDP; Got
promoted to Las Vegas for the May 16th game, and finished the month
0-20 in the PCL
Dan Rohlfing – 66 PA, .183/.231/.300, .238 BABIP, 6 R, 4 2B,
HR, 9 RBI, 3 BB, HBP, SH, SF, 18 SO, 4 GIDP; Moved onto the DL at the end of the month, although I haven’t heard
why. He hasn’t done much with the bat, but has a good reputation behind the
plate
Travis Taijeron – 89 PA, .296/.438/.451, .442 BABIP, 10 R, 5
2B, 2 HR, 8 RBI, 16 BB, 2 HBP, SB, 26 SO, GIDP; Did not produce nearly as much as in April (1.047 OPS), but still a
great slash for the month, and still striking out way too often
Wilfredo Tovar – 78 PA, .214/.263/.314, .232 BABIP, 7 R, 2B,
2 HR, 13 RBI, 4 BB, HBP, 2 SH, SF, 7 SB, 13 SO, 3 GIDP, 2 CS; Tovar is trying to add stolen base threat to
his resume, but he doesn’t have the type of speed to be used as a pinch runner
late in the game when a team needs to steal a base
Cory Vaughn – 60 PA, .224/.367/.327, .270, 7 R, 3B, HR, 4
RBI, 10 BB, HBP, 3 SB, 11 SO, 4 GIDP; Wally
still loves Vaughn, but Cory provided half of his hits for the month in the
first two days of May, and he’s struggled to a .451 OPS against RHP
Nelfi Zapata – 23 PA, .150/.261/.150, R, 2 BB, HBP, 6 SO,
GIDP; The Z-man wears #31, but hits like
#0. Likely to be squeezed out of a spot once Cuban catcher Lednier Ricardo is
ready
Binghamton Mets 26-24
14-16 record
Pitchers
Luis Cessa – 5 G, 3.58 ERA, 27.2 IP, 32 H, 13 R (11 ER), 7
BB, 19 SO, HR, .725 OPS, .348 BABIP, 16 K%: 5.9 BB%; He’s shown good control working mostly with a mid-90’s fastball (tops
at 96 MPH) and a hard slider, but hasn’t been missing bats at a high rate since
recording 12 K's in his first 11 IP
Michael Fulmer – 5 G, 2.63 ERA, 27.1 IP, 27 H, 10 R (8 ER),
13 BB, 20 SO, HR, HBP, .710 OPS, .306 BABIP, 16.7 K%: 10.8 BB%; He’s allowed 1 ER or less in 3 of his starts
with Binghamton so far, now he just needs to work on pitch efficiency
Robert Gsellman – 5 G, 2.91 ERA, 34 IP, 28 H, 11 R, 7 BB, 25
SO, 2 HR, .587 OPS, .277 BABIP, 19.5 K%: 5.5 BB%; Allowed 3 ER over 7 IP in his final start with St. Lucie (first time
allowing more than 2 runs this year), and then 6 ER over 4 IP in his AA debut,
but I’m excited for his June in AA on MiLBtv
Rainy Lara – 4 G, 4.34 ERA, 18.2 IP, 26 H, 12 R (9 ER), 4
BB, 17 SO, 3 HR, .830 OPS, .390 BABIP, 20.5 K%: 4.8 BB%; I think his time as a starter in the Mets farm system is nearing its
end
Seth
Lugo – 5 G, 3.41 ERA, 31.2 IP, 28 H, 12 R, 7 BB, 29 SO, 3 HR, HBP, .679
OPS, .281 BABIP, 22.5 K%: 5.4 BB%; Still
going strong, Lugo has been Binghamton’s best starter this year. He’s been
getting an unusually high rate of called strikes, so we’ll see if that
continues
Gabriel Ynoa – 5 G, 4.65 ERA, 31 IP, 32 H, 16 R, 9 BB, 19
SO, 3 HR, 3 HBP, .781 OPS, .293 BABIP, 14.2 K%: 6.7 BB%; He had 0 strikeouts and only 1 swinging strike in his last start of the
month
Dario Alvarez – 9 G, 8.1 IP, 7.56 ERA, 10 H, 7 R, 6 BB, 11
SO, HR, 2 HBP, .876 OPS, .391 BABIP, 25.6 K%: 14 BB%; LOOGY needs to be used like a LOOGY, 1.009 OPS allowed against RHB in
45 PA. 6 scoreless appearances, 1 perfect appearance
Julian Hilario – 9 G, 4.50 ERA, 11 H, 6 R, 8 BB, 13 SO, HR,
HBP, .757 OPS, .323 BABIP, 24.1 K%: 14.8 BB%; Really struggled in 3 consecutive appearances with Binghamton, allowing
6 ER over 3 IP. 6 scoreless appearances, 3 perfect appearances
Chase Huchingson – 11 G, 6.08 ERA, 13.1 IP, 11 H, 9 R, 9 BB,
16 SO, HR, 2 HBP, .720 OPS, .333 BABIP, 27.1 K%: 15.3 BB%; Still striking guys out at a nice rate, and doesn’t have huge splits (especially
when you consider BABIP differences), but wild and ineffective. 4 scoreless
appearances, 3 perfect appearances
Adam Kolarek – 10 G, 3.45 ERA, 15.2 IP, 10 H, 6 R, 3 BB, 12
SO, HR, .464 OPS, .196 BABIP, 19.4 K%: 4.8 BB%; Results have been vastly improved since switching to a ¾ arm slot, but
June will tell if the league is going to adjust to him. 8 scoreless appearances, 3
perfect appearances
Paul Sewald – 12 G, 2.84 ERA, 12.2 IP, 10 H, 5 R (4 ER), 3
BB, 13 SO, HR, .591 OPS, .281 BABIP, 26 K%: 6 BB%; 9 scoreless appearances, 7 perfect appearances, AAA pending?
Beck Wheeler – 9 G, 7.82 ERA, 12.2 IP, 13 H, 12 R (11 ER), 9
BB, 10 SO, HR, .836 OPS, .300 BABIP, 16.7 K%: 15 BB%; 5 straight scoreless appearances to finish the month, 3 of which were
perfect
Batters
Xorge Carrillo – 77 PA, .242/.329/.379, .269 BABIP, 9 R, 3
2B, 2 HR, 13 RBI, 8 BB, HBP, SF, SH, 13 SO, 4 GIDP, CS; Low average bat, but solid strike zone control and average pop with
good defense behind the plate is a decent backup catcher’s profile
Gavin Cecchini – 121 PA, .315/.364/.459, .323 BABIP, 8 R,
7 2, 3 HR, 12 RBI, 8 BB, HBP, SF, SB, 10 SO, 3 GIDP, CS; Huge month from Cheech would put him on pace for 50 XBH over a full
season
Michael Conforto – 119 PA, .255/.328/.387, .283 BABIP, 11 R,
9 2B, 3B, HR, 10 RBI, 9 BB, 3 HBP, SF, 14 SO, 8 GIDP; Struggled early in May after the FSL adjusted to him, but made his own
adjustments and earned the promotion to AA for 9 PA
Albert Cordero – 30 PA, .207/.207/.207, R, SH, 4 SO; Switch hitting catcher has struggled in
limited playing time
Gilbert Gomez – 62 PA, .143/.306/.224, .182 BABIP, 8 R, 2B,
HR, 4 RBI, 12 BB, SF, SB, 16 SO, GIDP, 3 CS; Provided nearly all of his production for the month during a weekend
series against Akron
Jared King – 117 PA, .173/.222/.191, .196 BABIP, 3 R, 2 2B,
10 RBI, 7 BB, SB, 13 SO, 8 GIDP, 2 CS; Really
struggling, and finally moved down in the lineup
Dustin Lawley – 80 PA, .227/.275/.360, .276 BABIP, 13 R, 7
2B, HR, 5 RBI, 4 BB, HBP, 2 SB, 16 SO, GIDP; He’s struggled in his first season playing only 3B, and has started to
lose playing time
Brandon Nimmo – 70 PA, .313/.371/.391, .385 BABIP, 4 R, 3
2B, 3B, 3 RBI, 3 BB, 3 HBP, 12 SO; The
injury was a huge disappointment and set back, as Nimmo was doing everything
except hitting for power before getting hurt
Jairo Perez – 32 PA, .188/.188/.188, .200 BABIP, 6-32, RBI,
2 SO, GIDP, CS; After getting a hit in
all but one of his starts during his first tour with Binghamton, Perez really
struggled when activated in May
Eudy Pina – 87 PA, .278/.333/.418, .400 BABIP, 7 R, 3 2B, 4
3B, 2 RBI, 7 BB, SF, 4 SB, 25 SO, 2 GIDP; His
batting average dropped in May, but his overall production improved. Now he
needs to dial back the strikeouts again
Aderlin Rodriguez – 85 PA, .273/.341/.494, .300 BABIP, 8 R,
6 2B, 3B, 3 HR, 15 RBI, 6 BB, 2 HBP, 14 SO, GIDP, CS; Five of those extra base hits were provided during a huge last week of
the month, and it looks like his work with hitting coach Luis Natera is paying
off
Josh Rodriguez – 114 PA, .290/.368/.540, .293 BABIP, 18 R, 2
2B, 3B, 7 HR, 19 RBI, 12 BB, HBP, SF, 3 SB, 19 SO, 4 GIDP; It’s great that he’s hitting well, but how much longer are the Mets
going to keep 30-year olds in AA?
Yeixon Ruiz – 83 PA, .267/.337/.360, .306 BABIP, 11 R, 2 2B,
3B, HR, 4 RBI, 7 BB, HBP, 3 SB, 12 SO, GIDP, CS; Ruiz has emerged as the most interesting utility guy in the system due
to his ability to play SS and CF
St. Lucie Mets 26-24
14-15 record
Pitchers
Miller Diaz – 5 G, 4.30 ERA, 29.1 IP, 26 H, 16 R (14 ER), 17
BB, 23 SO, HR, 2 HBP, .709 OPS, .313 BABIP, 18.4 K%: 13.6 BB%; Way too wild, fastball in the upper-80’s
mostly, should be moving to the pen soon
John Gant – 5 G, 4.56 ERA, 25.2 IP, 28 H, 14 R (13 ER), 17
BB, 21 SO, 2 HR, .791 OPS, .333 BABIP, 17.6 K%: 14.3 BB%; Wasn’t completely overmatched after skipping A+ to join Binghamton out
of Spring Training this year, but should benefit from working on his control
against easier competition
Kevin McGowan – 5 G, 3.67 ERA, 27 IP, 25 H, 13 R (11 ER), 14
BB, 19 SO, .661 OPS, .316 BABIP, 16.7 K%: 12.3 BB%; Allowed 5 runs with two outs in the 6th inning of his May 9th
start against Charlotte, but otherwise had his best month since joining St.
Lucie
Marcos Molina – 2 G, 6.75 ERA, 10.2 IP, 15 H, 8 R, 2 BB, 8
SO, .854 OPS, .395 BABIP, 16.7 K%: 4.2 BB%; Appears
likely that Molina will require Tommy John Surgery, which is exactly why he
slipped in my pre-season rankings
Logan Taylor – 5 G, 5.79 ERA, 28 IP, 30 H, 19 R (18 ER), 14
BB, 22 SO, HR, HBP, .681 OPS, .330 BABIP, 17.3 K%: 11 BB%; He’s pitched into the 6th in his last 4 starts of the month,
but has three 4-walk starts this year
Robert Whalen – 5 G, 3.25 ERA, 27.2 IP, 24 H, 12 R (10 ER),
8 BB, 23 SO, HR, 3 HBP, .598 OPS, .291 BABIP, 20.2 K%: 7 BB%; Increased his K% in May, allowed only a .058
ISO, and did that while focusing on his changeup (aka, his third best pitch)
Robert Coles – 8 G, 5.40 ERA, 10 IP, 14 H, 10 R (6 ER), 6
BB, 7 SO, .770 OPS, .368 BABIP, 13.7 K%: 11.8 BB%; 5 scoreless appearances, 2 perfect appearances
Mike Hepple – 8 G, 1.46 ERA, 12.1 IP, 7 H, 2 R, 4 BB, 7 SO,
HR, .477 OPS, .176 BABIP, 14.9 K%: 8.5 BB%; Former
Indy league pitcher throws mid-90’s from the right side. 7 scoreless
appearances, 3 perfect appearances
Jake Kuebler – 6 G, 4 IP, 9 IP, 12 H, 4 R, 2 BB, 3 SO, .801
OPS, .364 BABIP, 7.5 K%: 5 BB%; Split
time between AA, A+ and the DL. 4 scoreless appearances, 1 perfect appearance
Akeel Morris – 11 G, 0.69 ERA, 13 IP, 3 H, R, 8 BB, 16 SO,
.327 OPS, .120 BABIP, 32 K%: 16 BB%; If Morris
didn’t walk so many batters, he’d already be a level closer to the Mets, but
Binghamton should be coming soon. 10 scoreless appearances, 5 perfect
appearances
Kyle Regnault – 8 G, 3.21 ERA, 14 IP, 15 H, 5 R, 6 BB, 15
SO, HBP, .719 OPS, .385 BABIP, 24.6 K%: 9.8 BB%; Former Indy league pitcher throws low-90’s (tops at ~93) from the left
side with a nice curve. 5 scoreless appearances, 3 perfect appearances
Kelly Secrest – 9 G, 5.73 ERA, 11 IP, 10 H, 8 R (7 ER), 5
BB, 11 SO, .544 OPS, .294 BABIP, 22 K%: 10 BB%; 5 scoreless appearances, 3 perfect appearances
Josh Smoker – 10 G, 3.95 ERA, 13.2 IP, 14 H, 6 R, 2 BB, 19
SO, .582 OPS, .400 BABIP, 33.9 K%: 3.6 BB%; Lefty
is a former first round pick who has been hitting 95 with better control than
he’s ever shown before. 6 scoreless appearances, 3 perfect apperances
Batters
Victor Cruzado – 27 PA, .240/.296/.320, .286 BABIP, 4 R, 2
2B, 2 BB, 4 SO; Hasn’t played since being
injured during a game on May 8
Maikis De La Cruz – 104 PA, .244/.317/.311, .301 BABIP, 13 R
6 2B, 9 RBI, 11 BB, 3 SF, 3 SB, 20 SO, 2 GIDP, CS; Has been moved to Conforto’s former spot in the lineup, but he really
cooled off in May
Phillip Evans – 53 PA, .216/.226/.294, .256 BABIP, 2 R, 2
2B, 3B, 7 RBI, BB, SF, 9 SO, GIDP; Finally
got on the field for a game May 11th, but has struggled at the plate
since
Jeff McNeil – 117 PA, .356/.409/.423, .391 BABIP, 16 R, 4
2B, HR, 7 RBI, 8 BB, 2 HBP, 2 SH, SF, 7 SB, 12 SO, 3 GIDP; I was surprised he didn’t get the promotion to AA for the last weekend
of the month, but he’s earned himself an All-Star nod, so perhaps that’s why
he’s staying down in the FSL
Matt Oberste – 88 PA, .295/.364/.410, .338 BABIP, 17 R, 6
2B, HR, 10 RBI, 6 BB, SF, 13 SO, 3 GIDP; I’d
like to see if Oberste can handle LF, because he’s shown some pop from the
right side
Colton Plaia – 75 PA, .290/.338/.348, .364 BABIP, 3 R, 4 2B,
12 RBI, 5 BB, SH, 14 SO, 3 GIDP; Known
for his work behind the plate, Plaia has been a nice bat in the St. Lucie
lineup this year, and his presence has made a big difference in the team’s
winning percentage
Amed Rosario – 119 PA, .318/.370/.455, .393 BABIP, 16 R, 7
2B, 4 3B, 9 RBI, 8 BB, HBP, 3 SB, 21 SO, 2 GIDP, CS; Wow, what a breakout month for Rosario! People were questioning his
defense at SS a year ago, and now I’ve seen comparisons to the top glove in the
system, Luis Guillorme
Stefan Sabol – 103 PA, .241/.373/.337, .302 BABIP, 4 R, 5
2B, HR, 8 RBI, 18 BB, SH, SF, 3 SB, 20 SO, GIDP, 3 CS; Finally hit his way out of the SAL, and still has some interesting
tools at 23
Dominic Smith – 112 PA, .276/.321/.429, .341 BABIP, 17 R, 13
2B, HR, 23 RBI, 7 BB, SB, 22 SO, 3 GIDP; Finished
the month as hot as anyone, picking up his first homerun for a walkoff win, and
then earning the player of the week award to end the month
Champ Stuart – 97 PA, .148/.227/.170, 6 R, 2 2B, RBI, 9 BB,
3 SB, 39 SO; Really overmatched right
now, and should be playing everyday in the SAL
Jhoan Urena – 67 PA, .270/.313/.286, 4 R, 2B, 6 RBI, 3 BB,
HBP, 9 SO, 5 GIDP; Was starting to put
together good AB’s before hurting his left wrist during a swing (Jeff Paternostro says it's a hamate break at around the 49 minute mark). Hopefully
won’t be a lingering injury, both in terms of games missed and effectiveness
when he returns
Savannah Sand Gnats 24-26
17-13 record
Pitchers
Martires Arias – 5 G, 4.55 ERA, 29.2 IP, 26 H, 16 R (15 ER),
8 BB, 27 SO, HR, 6 HBP, .654 OPS, .316 BABIP, 22 K%: 6.5 BB%; Lanky righty allowed 1/3 of the damage in
his first start of the month
Ricky Knapp – 6 G, 3.57 ERA, 17.2 IP, 22 H, 10 R (7 ER), 4
BB, 18 SO, .672 OPS, .386 BABIP, 22.8 K%: 5.1 BB%; Knapp has been at his best this year when used as a starter/piggyback
starter
Casey Meisner – 5 G, 1.97 ERA, 32 IP, 22 H, 7 R, 7 BB, 29
SO, 2 HR, 2 HBP, .515 OPS, .235 BABIP, 23.2 K%: 5.6 BB%; He’s picked up in 2015 where he left off in August, 2014 with Brooklyn,
which is at a level that is too good for the SAL
Corey Oswalt – 5 G, 4.73 ERA, 26.2 IP, 35 H, 18 R (14 ER), 5
BB, 25 SO, 2 HR, HBP, .828 OPS, .393 BABIP, 20.8 K%: 4.2 BB%; Oswalt has allowed too many hits (and too
many extra base hits: 12 total, 8 2B, 2 3B, 2 HR) this year, but still has a
nice 2.73 FIP
Josh Prevost – 4 G, 2.28 ERA, 27.2 IP, 27 H, 9 R (7 ER), 5
BB, 17 SO, HBP, 2.28 ERA, .616 OPS, .314 BABIP, 15.5 K%: 4.5 BB%; Tall righty with a nice sinker pitches deep
into game thanks to a lot of early contact. Last started on 5/22, currently on the DL
Scarlyn Reyes – 5 G, 3.13 ERA, 31.2 IP, 33 H, 12 R (11 ER),
9 BB, 20 SO, 3 HBP, .672 OPS, .314 BABIP, 14.6 K%: 6.6 BB%; 25-year old is not overwhelming the SAL like
he should be
Brad Wieck – 4 G, 1.82 ERA, 24.2 IP, 16 H, 6 R (5 ER), 8 BB,
37 SO, 2 HBP, .532 OPS, .308 BABIP, 37.4 K%: 8.1 BB%; Just a great month, striking out 8+ batters in each start, and allowing
1 run or less in 3 starts
Alberto Baldonado – 8 G, 2.51 ERA, 14.1 IP, 10 H, 4 R, 8 BB,
14 SO, HBP, .610 OPS, .294 BABIP, 24.1 K%: 13.8 BB%; Walking too many lefties (20% so far), but having a nice season
otherwise. 4 scoreless appearances, 2 perfect appearances
Casey Delgado – 1 G, 0.00 ERA, 4 IP, H, 3 BB, 7 SO, .468
OPS, .250 BABIP; Former Indy league
pitcher had a great minors debut. With 59 pitches thrown, is he going to start
for Savannah?
James Duff – 10 G, 3.68 ERA, 14.2 IP, 16 H, 6 R, 2 BB, 19
SO, .645 OPS, .410 BABIP, 31.7 K%: 3.3 BB%; Duff-man
had one hiccup against Hickory, but has been one of the top pitchers with
Savannah this year. 8 scoreless appearances, 5 perfect appearances
Darwin Frias – 7 G, 8.10 ERA, 10 IP, 14 H, 10 R (9 ER), 8
BB, 9 SO, 2 HR, HBP, 1.061 OPS, .387 BABIP, 17.6 K%: 15.7 BB%; Might not be with Savannah for too long
after the draft, depending on what type of players the Mets target
Ben Griset – 7 G, 1.80 ERA, 10 IP, 9 H, 3 R (2 ER), 3 BB, 12
SO, .671 OPS, .346 BABIP, 28.6 K%: 7.1 BB%; Nice
curve from this lefty, who the Mets picked up this offseason after the Rays let
him go. 4 scoreless appearances, 0 perfect
Paul Paez – 5 G, 0.96 ERA, 9.1 IP, 8 H, R, BB, 7 SO, .546
OPS, .308 BABIP, 20.6 K%: 2.9 BB%; Paez
appeared to turn a corner after a late-season demotion to Brooklyn last year,
and he’s off to a hot start since rejoining Savannah on May 15th
David Roseboom – 9 G, 2.38 ERA, 11.1 IP, 10 H, 4 R (3 ER), 5
BB, 10 SO, .592 OPS, .303 BABIP, 20 K%: 10 BB%; The BOOM has been extremely consistent coming out of Savannah’s pen. 8
scoreless appearances, 3 perfect appearances
Batters
Wuilmer Becerra – 108 PA, .290/.333/.460, .355 BABIP, 11 R,
7 2B, 2 3B, 2 HR, 13 RBI, 6 BB, HBP, SF, 23 SO, GIDP, CS; It would be nice to see him improve his plate discipline more, but
great production from a 20-year old in the SAL, where he has just 19 PA against
pitchers younger than him
Patrick Biondi – 89 PA, .301/.322/.337, .347 BABIP, 7 R, 2B,
3B, 4 RBI, 3 BB, 2 SH, SF, 4 SB, 12 SO, 3 GIDP, 3 CS; Biondi is very fast, but hitting a very empty .300 average.
Eudor Garcia – 103 PA, .301/.340/.406, .378 BABIP, 11 R, 5
2B, 3B, HR, 12 RBI, 5 BB, HBP, SF, 2 SB, 22 SO, GIDP; Great first month in full-season ball for Eudor, who got himself into
tip-top shape from boxing during the offseason
Luis Guillorme – 109 PA, .304/.333/.304, .341 BABIP, 13 R,
12 RBI, 4 BB, HBP, SH, SF, 4 SB, 12 SO, 3 GIDP, CS; Also an empty batting average, but Guillorme offers elite defense from
the SS position
Jonathan
Johnson – 94 PA, .375/.447/.500, .403 BABIP, 15 R, 3 2B, 2 3B, HR, 8 RBI,
10 B, 2 HBP, 2 SF, 4 SB, 9 SO, GIDP; He’s
earning himself a spot on the St. Lucie infield in the 2nd half,
after McNeil and L.J. Mazzilli have moved up to Binghamton
Jon Leroux – 93 PA, .195/.290/.317, .264 BABIP, 13 R, 2 2B,
3B, 2 HR, 8 RBI, 8 BB, 3 HBP, SB, 27 SO, 2 GIDP; If nothing else, I will always remember Leroux for being on both ends
of a walkoff homerun in the same month – was on the mound in the 17th
when he allowed one, and won a game with one of his own on 5/28
Vicente Lupo – 85 PA, .183/.298/.268, .333 BABIP, 5 R, 6 2B,
4 RBI, 11 BB, HBP, SF, 33 SO, GIDP, 2 CS; Huge
guy with forearms bigger than some of his teammates biceps, but appears
overmatched right now. Candidate for playing with Brooklyn in the second half?
Tyler Moore – 49 PA, .119/.191/.167, .161 BABIP, 4 R, 2 2B,
3 RBI, 4 BB, 2 SH, SF, 12 SO, 2 GIDP; Barely
hitting, but his defense behind the plate has made strides, and he was spraying
line drives around the field when I saw him in BP
John Mora – 106 PA, .169/.324/.301, .191 BABIP, 15 R, 2 2B,
3 3B, HR, 12 RBI, 19 BB, HBP, SH, 2 SF, SB, 16 SO, 2 GIDP, CS; Mora has above average speed and can play
CF, but his line is suffering from a low AVG. More walks than strikeouts, an
average ISO, but a .191 BABIP
Tomas Nido – 73 PA, .261/.301/.333, .340 BABIP, 8 R, 2 2B,
HR, 8 RBI, 3 BB, BP, 18 SO, 2 GIDP; The
most interesting catching prospect between Kevin Plawecki and Brandon Brosher,
Nido has flashed some of the pop that made him interesting when the Mets
drafted
J.C.
Rodriguez – 114 PA, .280/.321/.400, .317 BABIP, 15 R, 2 2B, 2 3B, 2 HR, 10
RBI, 7 BB, 5 SH, 2 SF, 4 SB, 18 SO, 3 GIDP; Interesting
utility infielder prospect does a little bit of everything out there
