Down on the Farm: 8/23/2022

 AAA:  Sacramento River Cats destroyed the Reno Aces 11-1.

David Villar 1B- 2 for 4.  BA= .284.
Andrew Knapp C- 2 for 4, 2 HR(11).  BA= .252.
Dixon Machado SS- 3 for 4, 2B.  BA= .250.
Luis Ortiz RHP- 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K.  ERA= 5.15.
Andrew Vasquez LHP- 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K.  ERA= 0.00.
Yunior Marte RHP- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K.  ERA= 3.74.

Luis Ortiz has not allowed a run since June 23:  3-0, 0.00, 17 IP, 4 BB, 15 K.  I hope the Giants find a way to keep Dixon Machado around next season.  He didn't set the world on fire in the 5 games he played filling in at SS but he also didn't embarrass himself.

    1. On Fangraphs MiLB Leaderboard (all levels) of
      Qualified ABs:
      Brown is #1 in batting average @ .351 (>200 ABs)
      #17 in SBs (44)
      #43 in HRs (23)
      #27 in 3Bs (7)
      #1 in OBP (>450 PAs) .439
      #1 in SLG (>450 PAs) .631
      #1 in OPS (>450 PAs) 1.070
      OTOH, Brown is +1.5 years older than average @ AA which helps!surely helps him, but his

      SF's 19-yo Estanlin Cassiani is #1 overall in BA .375 (he has 195 PAs)

    2. Brown was drafted in the 10th round as a 5th year senior who's signing bonus Was only $7500. Heard podcasts that suggested Brown is not just a 5th year senior dominating at lower levels, scouts like his physical tools as well, including bat speed. MLB has him #9 in their updated Giants top 30; prospects list. The Giants did a great job of scouting when it comes to Vaun Brown. He will become a very good story to follow if he can develop into a major league player with the Giants.
