I attended this game.  De La Torre looked sharp.  There is no stadium radar gun in San Bernardino so hard to judge velocities.  He appeared to be throwing slightly less hard than the 66'ers SP but with a lot better command.  He seemed to have a sinking fastball or cutter which got a lot of groundballs but reached back and elevated a 4-seamer when needed.  Slider command was spotty.  

Zander Darby was the best looking hitter with excellent bat control.  In his first AB he turned on a middle-in pitch and lined it to the RF wall for a double.  Later he hit two perfectly placed groundballs through the hole on the left side for singles including one with runners on 2'nd and 3'rd which drove in both runners.  I thought to myself the Giants need to do more of that.

Good to see Ortiz back after I saw him pull a bad hammy early in the season.  Elijah Pleasants sure looks like a pitcher, tall, rawboned with long, whippy arms.  He needs to command his pitches.  Cole Hillier is compact with a live fastball and sharp slider.
