| Wuilmer Becerra (31) is a big dude |
April 25-May 1, 2016
Keeping
track of the hottest minor leaguers in the Mets farm system.
Hitter of the
Week: Wuilmer Becerra hasn’t been playing in the field due to a sore throwing
shoulder, but he’s been hitting nearly everyday as the team’s DH.
Starting Pitcher
of the Week: Tyler Pill. Chris Flexen tossed his best start of the year
last week, but he gets edged for the weekly award because Pill lasted one out
longer, with one fewer run allowed, and better whiff numbers.
Relief Pitcher of
the Week: Akeel Morris was dominant again last week, striking out 5 of
11 batters faced.
Team of the Week:
The Binghamton Mets, who had their 6-game winning streak snapped Sunday
afternoon.
Las Vegas 51s 11-11
5-1
week
Pitchers
Sean Gilmartin - 5 IP, 2 H, 1 R (1 ER), 1 2B, 3 TB, 4 BB, 5
K (5 K/Sw), 5 GB: 1 FB: 4 LD: 1 PU, 82 Pitches (46 Strikes), 10 Swinging, 11
Called, 12.2% SwStr, 28.6% Whiff/Swing, 16.4 Pitches/IP, 20 BF
Gilmartin earned a
rain-shortened complete game win on
Thursday, and kept PCL batters guessing at his secondaries all April
Gabriel Ynoa - 6.2 IP, 5 H, 2 R (1 ER), 1 2B, 6 TB, 2 BB, 3
K (3 K/Sw), 8 GB: 4 FB: 5 LD: 2 PU, 91 Pitches (69 Strikes), 10 Swinging, 16
Called, 11% SwStr, 18.9% Whiff/Swing, 13.6 Pitches/IP, 27 BF
Ynoa is throwing a two
seamer more often this year, and that pitch helped him lower his ERA to 1.48 last
Tuesday
Paul Sewald - 4 IP, 4 H, 1 2B, 5 TB, 1 BB, 5 K (4 K/Sw), 6
GB: 3 FB: 1 LD: 1 PU, 71 Pitches (47 Strikes), 10 Swinging, 14 Called, 14.1%
SwStr, 30.3% Whiff/Swing, 17.8 Pitches/IP, 17 BF
Sewald keeps putting
up big numbers out of the pen for Mets affiliates, and his slider has looked
nasty this year
Josh Smoker - 2 IP, 1 H, 1 2B, 2 TB, 1 BB, 3 K (1 K/Sw), 3
GB: 1 LD, 33 Pitches (22 Strikes), 7 Swinging, 7 Called, 21.2% SwStr, 46.7%
Whiff/Swing, 16.5 Pitches/IP, 8 BF
Chasen Bradford - 2 IP, 2 H, 1 2B, 3 TB, 1 K, 4 GB: 1 FB: 1
LD: 1 PU, 31 Pitches (25 Strikes), 4 Swinging, 4 Called, 12.9% SwStr, 19%
Whiff/Swing, 15.5 Pitches/IP, 8 BF
Bradford’s command was
great in April, and he had a very effective month out of the 51s pen, though
his strikeout rate dropped to just 13.7%
Erik Goeddel - 1 IP, 1 H, 1 TB, 1 BB, 2 K (2 K/Sw), 1 GB: 1
FB, 23 Pitches (12 Strikes), 5 Swinging, 1 Called, 21.7% SwStr, 45.5%
Whiff/Swing, 23 Pitches/IP, 5 BF
Goeddel has struggled
with command a little in the PCL air
Jeff Walters - 2.1 IP, 3 H, 1 R (1 ER), 3 TB, 2 BB, 2 K (0
K/Sw), 3 GB: 2 FB: 1 LD: 1 PU, 55 Pitches (31 Strikes), 3 Swinging, 7 Called,
5.5% SwStr, 12.5% Whiff/Swing, 23.6 Pitches/IP, 11 BF
Walters velocity has
crept back up to 93-95 MPH this year
Marc Krauss - 20 PA, 0.529/0.600/1.000, 6 R, 2 2B, 2 HR, 8
RBI, 3 BB, 3 K, 9% SwStr, 22.6% Whiff/Swing, 3.9 Pitches/PA, 0.583 BABIP
Krauss had a couple of
huge games for Las Vegas at the end of the week
Gavin Cecchini - 21 PA, 0.444/0.524/0.667, 4 R, 1 2B, 1 HR,
4 RBI, 3 BB, 1 K, 1 GIDP, 1.2% SwStr, 3.2% Whiff/Swing, 3.8 Pitches/PA, 0.438
BABIP
Cecchini’s bat finally
seems to be breaking out, and he has an 11 K: 11 BB ratio for the season
T.J. Rivera - 25 PA, 0.360/0.360/0.680, 10 R, 2 2B, 2 HR, 5
RBI, 1 K, 1 SB, 4.9% SwStr, 9.1% Whiff/Swing, 3.3 Pitches/PA, 0.318 BABIP
Rivera made his first
appearance in LF this week and is looking like a threat to Eric Campbell’s
bench spot with the Mets
Brandon Nimmo - 23 PA, 0.429/0.478/0.524, 4 R, 2 2B, 5 RBI,
2 BB, 8 K, 1 CS, 9.1% SwStr, 21.1% Whiff/Swing, 3.8 Pitches/PA, 0.692 BABIP
Nimmo’s bat also
finally broke out this week, but it sounded like he had a rough time in the big
Las Vegas outfield
Travis Taijeron - 25 PA, 0.333/0.440/0.524, 6 R, 4 2B, 5
RBI, 4 BB, 8 K, 1 GIDP, 8.4% SwStr, 23.5% Whiff/Swing, 3.8 Pitches/PA, 0.538
BABIP
Right-handed Kirk
Nieuwenhuis looks ready to start launching some homeruns
Johnny Monell - 19 PA, 0.353/0.421/0.529, 2 R, 1 HR, 3 RBI,
1 BB, 1 HBP, 2 K, 4.8% SwStr, 11.5% Whiff/Swing, 3.3 Pitches/PA, 0.357 BABIP
Monell had done
nothing at the plate before this week
Roger Bernadina - 14 PA, 0.385/0.429/0.462, 3 R, 1 2B, 1
RBI, 1 BB, 3 K, 9.6% SwStr, 21.7% Whiff/Swing, 3.7 Pitches/PA, 0.5 BABIP

25.6% Whiff/Swing, 11.9 Pitches/IP, 29 BF
Pill had one
of his best starts ever in the minors this past week, and finished April
strong after a forgettable first two starts
Andrew Barbosa - 7.1 IP, 3 H, 2 R (2 ER), 1 2B, 4 TB, 1 BB,
10 K (8 K/Sw), 6 GB: 4 FB: 1 LD: 4 PU, 100 Pitches (71 Strikes), 18 Swinging,
16 Called, 18% SwStr, 32.7% Whiff/Swing, 13.6 Pitches/IP, 26 BF
The 6’8” lefty doesn’t
throw hard (maxes in the upper 80’s), but his secondaries are proving too good
for this league, especially a
weak lineup like Portland’s
Mickey Jannis - 6.1 IP, 5 H, 2 R (2 ER), 1 2B, 1 HR, 9 TB, 3
BB, 3 K (2 K/Sw), 10 GB: 6 FB: 4 LD: 1 PU, 82 Pitches (50 Strikes), 4 Swinging,
16 Called, 4.9% SwStr, 11.8% Whiff/Swing, 13 Pitches/IP, 27 BF
Over his last two
starts, Jannis has shown that he can work through early command problems
Robert Gsellman - 11 IP, 8 H, 6 R (3 ER), 2 2B, 10 TB, 6 BB,
10 K (8 K/Sw), 20 GB: 5 FB: 5 LD: 1 PU, 195 Pitches (113 Strikes), 20 Swinging,
28 Called, 10.3% SwStr, 23.5% Whiff/Swing, 17.7 Pitches/IP, 49 BF
He’s been a little
wild during a cold April, but his slider is coming along nicely
Rainy Lara - 7 IP, 1 H, 1 R (1 ER), 1 HR, 4 TB, 2 BB, 3 K (2
K/Sw), 6 GB: 8 FB: 2 LD: 4 PU, 87 Pitches (55 Strikes), 5 Swinging, 15 Called,
5.7% SwStr, 12.5% Whiff/Swing, 12.4 Pitches/IP, 25 BF
Akeel Morris - 2.2 IP, 1 H, 1 TB, 2 BB, 5 K (4 K/Sw), 2 GB:
1 FB: 1 PU, 45 Pitches (29 Strikes), 8 Swinging, 12 Called, 17.8% SwStr, 47.1%
Whiff/Swing, 16.9 Pitches/IP, 11 BF
Impressive bounceback
from a wild week
Kelly Secrest - 2.2 IP, 3 BB, 5 K (4 K/Sw), 1 GB: 3 FB, 59
Pitches (32 Strikes), 5 Swinging, 13 Called, 8.5% SwStr, 26.3% Whiff/Swing,
22.1 Pitches/IP, 12 BF
Beck Wheeler - 3 IP, 2 H, 1 R (1 ER), 1 HR, 5 TB, 1 BB, 5 K

20% SwStr, 55.6% Whiff/Swing, 16.7 Pitches/IP, 13 BF
I really like his
curveball, which he claims helps him against lefties

RBI, 3 BB, 3 K, 1 GIDP, 4.7% SwStr, 10.9% Whiff/Swing, 4.3 Pitches/PA, 0.333
BABIP
Great week for the
slugger, and he launched an 86 MPH fastball just beyond the wall in LF
Kyle Johnson - 14 PA, 0.250/0.571/0.250, 5 R, 1 RBI, 5 BB, 1
HBP, 3 K, 1 GIDP, 1 SB, 3.8% SwStr, 10% Whiff/Swing, 3.8 Pitches/PA, 0.4 BABIP

9.1% SwStr, 18% Whiff/Swing, 12.9 Pitches/IP, 29 BF
He’s allowed runs in
only one inning during each of his four starts, and he was able to avoid a big
inning during this start
Alberto Baldonado - 4 IP, 2 H, 2 TB, 3 BB, 1 K, 4 GB: 1 FB:

BABIP
Hasn’t shown much
power yet, but the hits just keep falling in for Becerra, and his K-rate is
down early in 2016
Kevin Taylor - 24 PA, 0.364/0.417/0.591, 4 R, 2 2B, 1 HR, 4
RBI, 2 BB, 2 K, 2.9% SwStr, 7.9% Whiff/Swing, 4.4 Pitches/PA, 0.368 BABIP

Rosario had a huge
April with St. Lucie and I really doubt he finishes May there

19.4% SwStr, 30.5% Whiff/Swing, 13.3 Pitches/IP, 27 BF
Conlon has gone deeper
and picked up more K’s with each start, and the crafty lefty looked too
polished for the SAL in April
Chase Ingram - 6 IP, 4 H, 2 R (2 ER), 1 HR, 7 TB, 2 BB, 8 K
(6 K/Sw), 7 GB: 3 FB: 1 LD: 1 PU, 86 Pitches (51 Strikes), 20 Swinging, 16

Vinny Siena - 21 PA, 0.312/0.476/0.625, 5 R, 1 2B, 2 3B, 3
BB, 2 HBP, 8 K, 8.8% SwStr, 25% Whiff/Swing, 4.3 Pitches/PA, 0.625 BABIP
His on-base streak
ended after 21 games to start the year, so now let’s see if he can keep it
going in May
Ivan Wilson - 20 PA, 0.235/0.350/0.588, 4 R, 2 HR, 2 RBI, 3
BB, 8 K, 1 SB, 21.1% SwStr, 43.2% Whiff/Swing, 3.8 Pitches/PA, 0.286 BABIP
Struck out a lot this
past week, but hit two deep bombs to LF
David Thompson - 25 PA, 0.261/0.320/0.522, 5 R, 3 2B, 1 HR,
9 RBI, 2 BB, 7 K, 1 SB, 13.2% SwStr, 27.8% Whiff/Swing, 3 Pitches/PA, 0.333
BABIP
Would be nice to see him
cut down on the strikeouts, but there is little else for him to prove at the
SAL
Vicente Lupo - 16 PA, 0.231/0.375/0.462, 3 R, 1 2B, 1 3B, 3
RBI, 3 BB, 5 K, 2 GIDP, 1 CS, 10.5% SwStr, 31.6% Whiff/Swing, 3.6 Pitches/PA,
