Down on the Farm: 3/29/2025

 AAA:  The Sacramento River Cats beat the Albuquerque Isotopes 5-1:

Grant McCray CF- 0 for 2, 2 BB SB(1), Assist(2B).  BA= .143.
Marco Luciano LF- 0 for 3, SF.  BA= .200.
Wade Meckler DH- 2 for 2, BB, SB(2).  BA= .600.
Max Stassi C- 2 for 4, 2B.  BA= .500.
Jake Lamb 1B- 1 for 3, BB.  BA= .286.
Brett Auerbach 3B- 1 for 4, HR(2).  BA= .429.
Kyle Harrison LHP- 4 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 1 BB, 5 K's.  ERA= 2.25.
Sean Hjelle RHP- 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's, 3/1 GO/AO.  ERA= 0.00.
Joey Lucchesi LHP- 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 0 K.  ERA= 0.00.
Kai-Wei Teng RHP- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 0.00.

I read that Wade Meckler suffered an injury sliding into 2B.  Kyle Harrison's FB was reportedly in the 93-95 MPH range.  So far the Giants AAA pitching looks terrific.  

A couple of former 2'nd round draft picks were released:  Jimmy Glowenke and Matt Mikulski.  Glowenki was drafted as an underslot bonus guy so they could sign Kyle Harrison so he took one for the team.  Mikulski never showed the velocity I saw reported pre and post draft.  When I saw him pitch, he threw mostly 89-91 MPH cutters with a breaking ball and changeup with inconsistent command.  You aren't going to get far in pro ball these days with that kind of stuff.  Other released players included Michael Rodriguez LHP, Luis Bermudez RHP, Christian Avendano RHP, Brett Standlee RHP, Hunter Dula RHP, Andrew Kachel IF, Kanoa Pagan RHP, Timmy Manning LHP and Nadir Lewis OF.
