7/20 MINOR LEAGUE WEDNESDAY: What A Day in the System!

[rico43]

How about Alex Lee?

The Samford product, a near afterthrought as a 22nd-round pick this June, has been one of the hottest hitters in all of baseball in the last two weeks.

In his last nine games for Danville, Lee (6-1, 195) a lefty hitter, has gone 17-for-25 (.680!) with three homers and seven RBIs. He is hitting .400 for Danville overall.

You never know where it'll come from.

Really solid day of pitching

[ball4life32]

Bryce Wilson looking like a stud too. 3IP 0R 1H 0BB 5 SO. He's now at 8IP 0R 1BB 9 SO for the year.

Assume he is done since that is the pattern for the GCL.. Toronto has a good lineup he just mowed down.

[smootness]

Our HS pitching has completely murdered the GCL.

Once those guys come out do the opposing teams score? I only keep up with the big guy's stats... Wondering if that league has decent offense

yes there is offense. and very bad defense. Brcye K'd their best hitter(among others).. Bo Bichette is hitting over .400 with 4 dongs and 30is rbis...

[clvclv]

Solid outing from Ellis - still too many walks though.

maybe not solid, but a better than lately outing.. hardly any Ks, 3BBs, wild pitch, hit bats man, and several line outs. I still think our AAA team is really hurting with coaches down there.

yea, totally seems like it -- that something I never even thought about when they brought Snit up to Atlanta, I'm wondering if the FO considered it.

Its a bad look when we have to send a highly thought of pitcher down to AA so he can regain his mechanics.

[bravesfanMatt]

Pache apparently has an arm. in the GCL game, he has thrown 2 runners out at home in consecutive innings.. then just had another single where he didn't get the guy at home.. So 2 for 3 on out field assists today...

[50PoundHead]

Jose Ramirez tried to blow the game, but he was bailed out by a DP and Gwinnett breaks their losing streak.

Good question. I checked:

Wentz: 12 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 5 BB, 18 K
Muller: 8.2 IP, 6 H, 2 ER, 4 BB, 10 K
Wilson: 8 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 9 K
Anderson: 6 IP, 5 H, 0 ER, 2 BB, 4 K

Total for the group: 34.2 IP, 18 H, 2 ER, 12 BB, 41 K (absurd, frankly). Per 9: 4.7 H, 3.1 BB, 10.6 K, 0.52 ERA

Rest of the GCL Braves pitching staff: 168 IP, 153 H, 65 ER, 63 BB, 156 K. Per 9: 8.2 H, 3.4 BB, 8.4 K, 3.48 ERA

So definitely separated from the pack.

You guys realize Rome staff

Soroka
Allard
Touki
Weigel
Sanchez
Fried when he returns.

The next couple years of the Rome staff should be ridiculous.

Good lord. I'm assuming we'll see Weigel or Fried move up to Carolina before too long. What's even more crazy is that we have 4 high upside SP prospects behind even these 6 from this year's draft, plus Mejia and Harrington.

[bravesfanMatt]

Rome and Mississippi are just stacked with talent right now. And mqt is right. We have about 4 or 5 high end pitchers behind them.

#Mariners CF prospect Kyle Lewis (Short-A Everett) out for season and maybe longer. Exam showed bad knee injury.

Wow.
