Nice to see Jhonny Severino starting to hit DSL pitching (homered last game; 4 hits today).

I’m hoping that’s the last start RHP Kevin Briceno needs to make in DSL: 5 innings of 1-run, 1-hit, 9-K ball. He’s pitched 18 1/3 innings (1.96 ERA), which was enough for Edwin Jimenez and Miguel Segura to earn similar promotions to Arizona last year.

I was just coming to say:

Perhaps it's time to get Brayan Oropeza more AB's? Let's see where this goes? There's hot. Then, there's scorching.

Sharing ACL game summaries:

ARIZONA COMPLEX LEAGUE

Final: ACL Brewers Blue 7, ACL Giants Black 1
Box Score / Game Log

The Brewers in Blue improved to 4-12 with a comfortable victory over the 11-3 Giants Black team in this 7-inning game.

19-year old (turning 20 this Friday) starting RHP Alexander Vallecillo won his second straight game, giving up just one run on three hits while striking out 11 hitters and walking one. He’s now K’d 27 batters in 20 innings pitched.

The team jumped out to a 5-0 second inning lead on a Jonatan Guzman 2-RBI single, Jace Avina (season OPS .869) RBI double and Daniel Guilarte (season OPS .821) 2-RBI single. Avina also doubled and scored on a Guilarte RBI single in the fourth inning.

Dual-threat Quinton Low tripled and scored in the fifth inning to complete the scoring. The 13th round 2021 draft pick has pitched in 3 games (4 innings – 0.00 ERA) and also played 10 games at first base (40 plate appearances - .623 OPS).

Registering 8 hits in 28 at-bats sounds a lot better than striking out 13 times in 28 at-bats. Both happened for the Blue squad in this game, with OF Eduarqui Fernandez victimized 3 times to drop his OPS to .779. DH/INF Alexander Perez stole two of Blue’s four bases in the game.

19-year old RHP Samuel Dario (3.00 ERA, 1.08 WHIP in 12 innings this year) bounced back from his last relief outing, pitching a scoreless seventh inning.

Final: ACL Padres 7, ACL Brewers Gold 3
Box Score / Game Log

The loss dropped the Gold team to 9-7.

Although they trailed 6-0 early and never really threatened the Padres, Gold had solid traffic throughout: 2-for-10 with runners in scoring position, 10 men left-on-base. They left men on base in every inning of the 7-inning contest.

Starting 20-year old RHP Domingo Mejia had his shortest outing (2 innings, 5 runs, 4 hits, 3 walks, 2 Ks), then RHP Trevor Tietz didn’t fare much better (2 innings, 2 runs, 3 hits, 2 walks, 2 Ks).

However, let’s give credit to 19-year old LHP Fraudy Maldonado, who covered 3 scoreless innings, conceding just 1 hit and no walks. Normally reliant on strikeouts (38 Ks in 26 1/3 career innings entering the game), he managed to get the job done without registering any K in this one. The 2019 international signee of the Mets never got to debut with them (2020 Covid wipeout, March 2021 release), so let’s hope he continues to show them what they’re missing.

Offensively, 18-year old INF Jadher Areinamo has to feel good about the first homer of his minor league career, a solo shot in the seventh inning to raise his season OPS to .851.

18-year old OF Luis Castillo reached base twice (single, walk) to keep up his average (.407 this year) and OPS (1.153 this year).

19-year old INF Jesus Parra still has a troublesome BB/K ratio (3/14 this year; 4/35 last year), but the 2018 signing ($210k bonus) is seeing better results: .265 AVG / .333 OBP / .469 SLG. He doubled, singled and walked in a 2-for-3 effort in this game.

18-year old major 2021 signing SS Gregory Barrios picked up two singles to lift his season OPS to .685.

19-year old INF Jose Caballero went 0-for-2, but still reached base twice (walk, hit-by-pitch), so his season OPS didn’t suffer much (now .918).
