AAA:  Salt Lake City Bees stung the Sacramento River Cats 5-1:

David Villar 3B- 2 for 4.  BA= .377.

Logan Porter C- 1 for 4, 2B.  BA= .179.

Mason Black RHP- 5 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 2 BB, 10 K's.  ERA= 3.00.

Joey Lucchesi LHP- 2 IP, 1 H, 2 R, 0 BB, 3 K's.  ERA= 4.32.

Joel Peguero RHP- 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 6.75.

Caden Dana RHP(Bees)- 7 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 7 K's.  ERA= 1.13.

Mason Black pitched well but Caden Dana, MLB Pipeline's #2 Angels prospect pitched better.  He was drafted in round 11 in 2022, their only high school draftee that year.  He is a fast riser who is expected to make his MLB debut later this season.  His scouting report shows a 94-96 MPH fastball, a plus slider and an improving changeup.  

AA:  Chesapeake Baysox edged out the Richmond Flying Squirrels 4-3:

Victor Bericoto 1B/RF- 1 for 3, BB.  BA= .302.

Zach Morgan DH- 1 for 3, 2B, BB.  BA= .316.

Jairo Pomares LF- 1 for 4, 2B.  BA= .256.

John Michael Bertrand LHP- 5 IP, 7 H, 3 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 2 K.  BA= 4.73.

Michael Stryfeller RHP- 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K.  ERA= 3.86.

Seven different Squirrels had one hit each with Bericoto's and Morgan's hits being doubles. Michael Stryfeller came to the Giants organization along with Andy Thomas C for Matthew Boyd LHP and Andy Thomas C in 2022.  He missed all of last season with injury.

A+:  Vancouver Canadians crushed the Eugene Emeralds 13-5:

Scott Bandura RF- 1 for 4, BB, SB(3).  BA= .333.

Jonah Cox LF- 2 for 4, BB, SB(9).  BA= .240.

Quinn McDaniel CF- 1 for 3, 2 BB.  BA= .225.

Guillermo Williamson 1B- 3 for 4, 2B.  BA= .238.

Josh Bostick RHP- 4 IP, 2 H, 2 R, 3 BB, 4 K's.  ERA= 4.76.

Ian Villers RHP- 1.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 1.59.

A:  San Jose Giants rocked the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes 13-6:

Dakota Jordan CF- 3 for 6, 2B, 3B.  BA= .341.

Jakob Christian 1B- 2 for 3, HR(3), BB, HBP, SF, 2 SB(2).  BA= .238.

Drew Cavanaugh DH- 1 for 2, 4 BB, SB(1).  BA= .313.

Lisbel Diaz RF- 1 for 4, 2 BB, SB(4).  BA= .260.

Jean Carlos Sio SS- 3 for 6.  BA= .276.

Drake George RHP- 4 IP, 2 H, 2 R, 4 BB, 5 K's.  ERA= 1.64.

Nicolas Herold RHP- 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 6 K's.  ERA= 0.00.

Evan Gray RHP- 1.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K.  ERA= 1.35.

Dakota Jordan might have the best tools in the organization.  Physically he is a slightly bigger version of Heliot Ramos.  Built like a running back.  A ball is a conservative placement but it's encouraging he is hitting for a high average so far.  Jakob Christian did not play the game I attended on Tuesday.  He is tall but well-proportioned athlete.  I hope to see him in action Saturday evening.  Note that Nicolas Herold struck out the side...twice.
