Victor Bericoto homered and drove in 4 runs as the Giants routed the Dodgers spring training travel squad in Scottsdale. Key Lines:
Willy Adames SS- 1 for 3, HR(1). BA= .083. Adames homered to lead off the Giants half of the first inning. It was his first hit of the spring on a pitch he reached for. Might not have gone out in Oracle Park.
Patrick Bailey DH- 2 for 4, R, RBI. BA= .400. Almost any amount of improvement at the plate for Bailey will make him uber-valuable. Looking great in the early spring but he somehow needs to avoid the 3-month slump.
Heliot Ramos LF- 2 for 2, 2 2B, R. BA= .556. I'm calling it now. Breakout season for Ramos.
Jared Oliva LF- 2 for 3, R, 4 RBI. You can drive in a lot of runs by hitting singles with RISP. Oliva looks good in a baseball uniform.
Victor Bericoto RF- 2 for 3, HR(2), R, 4 RBI. Bericoto is a physical monster. Looks like a clone of Jerar Encarnacion except with a bulked up upper body. He also looks to me like he has Encarnacion's power with a better hit tool.
Daniel Susac C- 2 for 3, 2B, RBI. BA= .500. The Giants have to be hoping Susac wins the backup catcher job. He appears to have a solid lead for that at this point. He's not just hitting, he's hitting rockets. The single was a 103 MPH ground ball and the double was 99.5 MPH.
Robbie Ray LHP- 2 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 BB, 1 K. ERA= 3.00. Ray's second spring start.
Matt Gage LHP- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K. ERA= 0.00. Gage is probably favored to win a roster spot in the bullpen.
Gregory Santos RHP- 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K. ERA= 0.00. Santos looks fully healthy and is throwing Hundos. The Giants need more hundos out of the bullpen.
Greg Farone LHP and Marques Johnson RHP added scoreless frames.
There were a total of 4 ABS challenges in the game with just one successful.
Tyler Mahle RHP makes his first spring start today facing the A's in Hohokam Stadium.
