As we rolled into Wednesday, the wins did not stop (except in the Majors) as the farm system rolled.  Drew Cavanaugh powered Sacramento to a blowout victory, while Parks Harber was the highlight in a Double-A victory for a starting-to-be-depleted Squirrels lineup.  Plus, we get a surprise promotion that probably wasn’t expected but isn’t really that big of a surprise, and a return from injury for a top prospect!

Player of the Game: SS Josuar Gonzalez (2): 1-3, 1 RBI, 1 K

Honestly, a 1-for-3 line with a single normally wouldn’t be Player of the Game material, but Josuar was the only one saving the Giants from being no-hit (albeit in seven innings).  This was Gonzalez’s tenth game of the season, and he’s 13-for-32 (.406) with four doubles and a home run, and eight walks to 10 strikeouts.

Top Prospects on Injured List:

Bo Davidson (7) - Since 5/14

Josh Bostick (24) - Full Season

Of course, there's "Tugboat" Matt Wilkinson. But there's two others:

• "El Pollo" Diego Velasquez - Because he had lighter hair than others in his family growing up, they said he looked like a little chick.

• "El Cirujano" Brayan Palencia - In the DSL, he was carving up the strike zone when facing batters, hence getting the nickname that translates to "The Surgeon".

The voting is bracket style of 32 players, so there's a lot of votes to make, especially since you do all the rounds. But go support your Giants! (Or, you know, actually choose the nicknames you like...you do you!)

Baseball America just reranked their list here in Mid-May. There aren't a lot of big changes, and in fact the top 10 remain the same. But beyond them, there's a bit of shuffling.

The biggest news is that Jonah Cox, who has been absolutely raking in Richmond, appears on the list at #21. Meanwhile, new acquisition Matt "Tugboat" Wilkinson makes his first Giants ranking at #25.

Believe it or not, but after Gavin Kilen hit two home runs on Opening Day for Eugene, including a walkoff winner, he had not hit another home run…until today’s doubleheader, where Kilen finally began to look the player he was the first week of the season with a big game.  Elsewhere, Parks Harber picked up his first home run of the season after a late start to his year, and a big San Jose comeback attempt fell just short.

Player of the Game: 3B Buddy Kennedy: 2-4, 1 R, 2 RBI, 1 HR (4)

Without any ranked prospect hitters in Sacramento, Buddy Kennedy continues to be one of the team’s leading hitters, with his third multi-hit game in his last four games.  Each of those three games include a home run.  He went from a .317/.413/.442 slash line to .322/.406/.512 slash line over those four games.

Other Players to Spotlight:

Player of the Game: 3B Parks Harber (14): 2-5, 1 R, 2 RBI, 2 K, 1 HR (1)

Parks Harber’s first inning home run gave the Squirrels a brief lead before this game became a blowout.  The home run was his first of the season, in his 12th game.  Last season, he had a total of 13 home runs across 79 games  in Low-A and High-A across the Yankees and Giants organizations.  Harber is slashing .333/.368/.519, but has only three walks to 19 strikeouts.

Player of the Day: SS Gavin Kilen (5): 4-6, 1 R, 6 RBI, 1 BB, 2 2B (11), 1 HR (3), 1 CS (1)

It was a big day for the former first round pick across both games, though his three extra-base hits all came in Game 1.  The home run was his first since way back on Opening Day, when his second home run of the day was a walkoff winner.  His batting average jumped 20 points (.273-to-.293) and his slugging percentage jumped 57 points (.409 to .466) in the course of the doubleheader.  This gives him 11 doubles and three home runs over 29 games this season.

Player of the Game: 1B Jeremiah Jenkins: 2-4, 2 R, 1 RBI, 1 BB, 1 K, 1 2B (4), 1 3B (1), 1 E (4)

San Jose had a thrilling attempt at a comeback, scoring six runs in the bottom of the ninth, falling just a run short, but Jeremiah Jenkins’ RBI double was a part of that big final rally.  Jenkins broke a 3-game hitless streak with the first game this season with multiple extra-base hits.  He’s got a slash line of .293/.413/.493 on the season so far, with four doubles, one triple, and three home runs.

Player of the Game: SS Josuar Gonzalez (2): 1-4, 2 K, 1 2B (1)

I haven’t had a chance to spotlight Josuar yet this ACL season, so let’s talk about how he’s doing!  It’s been a quiet start for him, but his 3-for-11 start is good for a .273 average, with today’s double being his first extra-base hit in four games.  This also notably was Gonzalez’s first “full” game playing, as he has been an early exit in his other three as he’s come back from a hamstring injury…but I say full in airquotes (and..um, actual quotes) since the game was still only seven innings.

Player of the Game: 2B Diego Velasquez: 3-4, 3 R, 2 RBI, 1 2B (5), 1 HR (2), 1 E (3)

Player of the Game: 2B Yosneiker Rivas: 1-3, 1 R, 1 BB, 1 K, 1 2B (1)

Not a lot of big games today for the Giants in the ACL, so Rivas had the only extra base hit in today’s game.  He’s 1-for-6 with the double, and one walk to two strikeouts so far in his young ACL season.

Top Prospect Lines:

Finally, the uber-talented ACL Giants team took the field officially, and while it ended in a loss, Luis Hernandez made it an exciting one, with a 9th inning, game-tying grand slam to keep it close.  Elsewhere, Eugene swept their doubleheader with one wipeout and one close game, and Dakota Jordan woke up in a big way after a slump.  And Bryce Eldridge is really taking those walks!

Other Players to Spotlight:

Player of the Game: DH-1B Jakob Christian: 5-5, 2 R, 4 RBI, 1 BB, 2 2B (3), 1 HBP

I think Jakob Christian was eager to get back onto the field, as he came back on Friday and then went perfect at the plate on Saturday in both ends of a doubleheader.  Through three games, Christian has gone 6-for-8 with three doubles, knocking in five runs, and walking once with one strikeout

Player of the Game: 3B-SS Luis Hernández (3): 1-4, 1 R, 5 RBI, 2 K, 1 HR (1), 1 SF, 2 E (2)

He didn’t have the most hits in the game, but he did have the biggest hit, with a game-tying grand slam in the 9th inning with two outs.  It was a mixed game for Hernandez, with two errors in his debut, but we also got the answer on who was going to play where, at least to start, with Hernandez sliding over to third instead of second while Josuar took shortstop.

Top Prospect Lines:

• SS Josuar Gonzalez (2): 0-2, 1 R, 1 BB, 2 K, 1 E (1) - Josuar was removed after five innings.  There was no sign of injury, but Gonzalez had a hamstring issue in Spring Training, and they may still be pacing him from that.
• C Jancel Villarroel (25): 1-4, 1 RBI, 1 2B (1), 1 HBP
• 3B Yulian Barreto (28): 0-2, 1 R, 1 BB, 2 K - Barreto came into the game for Josuar Gonzalez, playing third while Hernandez moved to shortstop.

I’m putting together a thread by Jason Pennini, a former MLB scout with the Twins, and co-founder of Prospects live.  It was on Twitter, which I can’t link…so hey, you get to read it all in one place without linking out of Reddit!

De La Rosa will join top international signings Josuar Gonzalez and Luis Hernandez, as well as a few other interesting young prospects, in the Arizona Complex League which starts on Saturday.  Join us in the Daily Minors Quick Notes I post to keep up with how they do!  (/plug)

Thread Begins Below:

Really impressive XST outing from 18-year-old Giants LHP Carlos De La Rosa Tuesday night. He went 3 IP more than held his own against a Diamondbacks lineup with four rehabbing MLB players - Luis Urias, Gabriel Moreno, Carlos Santana, and Tyler Locklear.

Full throttle bulldog on the mound – he went after hitters and attacked the zone. Great mound presence. De La Rosa was aggressive and oozed confidence; he didn’t seem to give a sh** he was facing MLB guys. 

5-pitch mix: 4SM, CB, SL, CHG, 2SM.  The 4SM sat 94-95 and natural cut/bore life in on the hands of RHH and generated a couple weak grounders. The curve had tight 1/7 shape and late bite.

The slider was equal parts horizontal and vertical break. Similar velo bands in low 80s. Change flashed late fade/dive in mid 80s. Used 2sm down/away to RHH to set up his breaking stuff.

Good feel to pitch. He varied sequencing and showed the ability to land breaking balls in zone for a strike to get ahead. Combo approach - work E/W or N/S with intent. 4sm played well up.

Curve is best present secondary pitch, unique movement profile given high slot –expected a more vertical 12/6 type shape. His ability to create spin is real and believe in slider projection. CHG was inconsistent but flashed late dive and fade.

De La Rosa is listed at 5’10” 193. He looks closer to 6’1” 215-220 now. It’s a body built for logging innings. Thick through the hips and thighs.

His delivery is explosive, and he is a sneaky athlete for his size. Works down the mound well and creates a lot of torque with big hip to shoulder separation. Elbow dips a little low on his takeaway, which makes it harder to repeat.

Body language read – get the impression he is an intense competitor. Moreno hit an F9 and the way De La Rosa went to back up a throw made me feel like he takes baseball seriously and his head is in the game at all times.  Strikes you as a kid who will look for every edge.

See a lot of SP traits: the mix/stuff, body, and feel to pitch are all encouraging. Can see path to MLB #2 or #3 SP type ceiling.

End Thread

Jason also posted a 30-second video of De La Rosa’s pitching there, if you want to see.  No link, but I’m sure you know how to get there if you want.

The ACL season begins today (Saturday)!

It was a day for unusual wins in the system, but Richmond’s win was truly rare.  The team put together 12 runs in the 11th inning after coming back from 4-2 in the game, with a wild inning filled with steals, hits, errors, walks, and a home run.  Meanwhile, in Eugene, the Emeralds had a little league Grand Slam, as well as a decisive inning that didn’t even have a ball put into play until the final out!

AAA: Salt Lake Bees 4, Sacramento River Cats 2

Player of the Game: LF Victor Bericoto: 2-4, 2 R, 1 K, 1 2B (4)

Bericoto finished April with a 2-hit game, giving him a state line of going 26-for-85 (.306) in the month, with seven walks to 18 strikeouts.  Overall on the season, he has a slash line of .306/.361/.459 with four doubles, one triple, and three home runs in 26 games.

Other Players to Spotlight:

• DH Buddy Kennedy: 1-3, 1 R, 1 BB, 1 SB (1) - Kennedy’s first steal comes 24 games into his season.  He hasn’t hand more than five steals in a season since 2022.
• CF Turner Hill: 1-3, 1 R - Hill has now played more games in Sacramento (10) than Richmond (9), with a .314/.333/.371 slash line in AAA.

Top Prospect Lines:

• 1B Bryce Eldridge (1): 0-4, 3 K
• Carson Whisenhunt (12): DNP
• Trevor McDonald (16): DNP - Was with SF as the extra man in today’s doubleheader.

Rehabbing Prospect Lines:

• RP Sam Hentges: 1.0 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K - This was his 7th game in rehab, lowering his ERA to 2.70.  I’m a little surprised he’s not back up, and after the doubleheader’s bullpen problems, I can’t imagine he’ll be rehabbing much longer.

Seriously, 12 runs in the 11th inning alone!  The inning started with Cox as the ghost runner stealing third, and a Scott Bandura RBI single, with an error letting him go to second.  But it just went wild, there was another error and a walk to load the bases, followed by a Bo Davidson RBI single.  Another walk scored a run, and after a fielder’s choice out kept any runs from scoring, two more straight bases loaded walks plated two more runs, and then two more runs came on a groundout with another error, the third of the inning.  Bandura, Parks Harber and Aeverson Arteaga all singled to score two more runs, and then Bo Davidson hit a 3-run home run!  If you think you were having a bad day, at least you weren’t an Altoona pitcher!

Player of the Game: LF Scott Bandura: 3-4, 3 R, 3 RBI, 3 BB, 1 K, 1 HR (3), 1 CS (2)

Once again, Scott Bandura has a multi-hit game, his fourth 3-hit game of the season, two of them coming in that huge 11th inning.  He also had another leadoff home run, his second of the season, and his second game with three walks, both coming within his last three games.  He now is slashing .348/.449/.584 with 14 walks to 19 strikeouts in 22 games, with eight doubles, two triples, and three home runs.

Other Players to Spotlight:

• CF Bo Davidson (7): 3-6, 4 R, 4 RBI, 1 BB, 1 HR (5) - Davidson got his first home run since back on April 16th, breaking a 1-for-11 stretch at the plate with a 3-hit game, raising his average to .230.
• 3B Parks Harber (14): 3-6, 3 R, 1 RBI, 1 BB, 1 2B (3) - After five games back, Harber is 9-for-25 (.360) with one walk and ten strikeouts.

Eugene won in the wildest way.  Down 5-4 going into the bottom of the 8th inning, three walks loaded the bases with nobody out.  The next two Eugene batters struck out, but Trevor Cohen walked to force in a run to tie the game.  After a pitching change, Gavin Kilen and Dakota Jordan both walked to “knock” in two more runs, and finally a ball got put into play for the final out.  But, the damage was done.

Player of the Game: LF Carlos Gutierrez (15): 2-5, 1 R, 3 RBI, 1 2B (5), 1 3B (2)

Carlos Gutierrez had the team’s biggest hit, a little league Grand Slam in the third to briefly put Eugene on top, hitting a bases-loaded triple.  As Gutierrez slid into third, the ball skipped away from the third baseman on the relay through, and Gutierrez was able to get home.  It’s back-to-back 2-hit games for Gutierrez, pushing his average back up to .229.  Last season before his injury, he was a hit machine in San Jose, hitting .351 over 60 games.

Other Players to Spotlight:

• CF Trevor Cohen (9): 1-3, 1 R, 1 RBI, 2 BB, 1 K, 1 2B (8) - Cohen collected his third double in the last five games, and is now slashing .220/.366/.341, with 18 walks to 20 strikeouts.
