AAA Fresno Grizzlies edged the Portland Beavers 3-2:
Mike McBryde- 2 for 4, HR(1). BA= .238.
Kevin Pucetas- 4.1 IP, 8 H, 2 R, 2 BB, 4 K's. ERA= 3.98.
Joe Paterson- 1.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K's. ERA= 2.45.
Osiris Matos- 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 4 K's. ERA= 0.00.
McBryde is 7 for his last 18. Pucetas threw 94 pitches in his 4.1 IP.
AA Reading Phils squeaked past the Richmond Flying Squirrels- 3-2:
Darren Ford- 1 for 4, 2B, SB(4). BA= .304.
Conor Gillaspie- 1 for 4, 2B. BA= .228.
Conor has cooled off considerably since the HR binge a week or two ago.
High A San Jose Giants scored 4 runs in the 8'th inning to extinguish the Bakersfield Blaze 7-6:
Brandon Belt- 2 for 4, 2B, HR(3), BB. BA= .422.
Drew Biery- 3 for 5. BA= .357.
Wendell Fairley- 1 for 3, 2B, 2 BB. BA= .278.
Justin Fitzgerald- 5 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 4 K's. ERA= 0.82.
Jason Stoffel- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's, Save(4). ERA= 0.00.
Belt continues to rake. Fairley is becoming an on-base machine. Another nice start for Fitz. Stoffel looks like a dominant closer at this level.
Low A Augusta Greenjackets were rained out.

Connor is suffering from a .196 BABIP.
ReplyDeleteDave,
ReplyDeleteConor could be unlucky, or the low BABIP could mean that he just isn't hitting the ball hard.
Dave: while pitchers typically have a .300 BABIP, that is because the talent level in the majors result in that. Hitters however, have their own level of talent that eventually expose itself over time, as the sample size gets big enough.
ReplyDeleteSo, while I agree that he's suffering from a .196 BABIP, that doesn't mean that this is not closer to his talent level either. It could have been that he was just benefiting from some great luck earlier in the season.
Hopefully not, but you never know when a prospect hits his talent ceiling. I think not, based on his ability to not to strike out so much, but we'll have to see.
