DSL-Brewers2 Defeats DSL-Brewers1 in Shortened Season Finale 6-4

 

The DSL-Brewers2 squad scored four runs before recording an out, racing to a 5-0 lead. The DSL-Brewers1 team cut the lead to 5-4 by the 4th inning, but ran out of time (or more likely ran out of decent weather). The game abruptly ended with the DSL-Brewers1 squad due to bat in the bottom of the 6th.

 

The DSL-Brewers1 squad finished the season with a 31-28 record and the DSL-Brewers2 team ended with a 29-30 record.

Thanks for the DSL wrap, damuelle.

 

Really intriguing results from the Nicaraguan mound duo of Cruz & Vallecillo, hopefully they'll make it over to Arizona for a better look next summer.

 

Can't help but think of the Astros, who have gotten pretty good seasons from Luis Garcia (155 IP | 130 ERA+), Framber Valdez (134 IP | 137 ERA+), Jose Urquidy (101 IP | 121 ERA+) and Cristian Javier (101 IP | 121 ERA+) this year. None of them were big bonus guys & Urquidy was the only one to ever crack a Top 100 (#82 pre-2020 @ BPro), so a pretty big testament to Houston's pitcher identification & development program.

 

Stearns & company clearly know a thing or two about pitcher identification & development too, so it should be interesting to see if they can work some Houston-esque magic on the international side in the coming years.
