I'm excited to announce I'm joining the Lake County Captains (High-A, Guardians) this season as a Broadcast & Media Relations intern.

Thanks to Logan Potosky for the opportunity, and I can't wait to get going!

It's been a rapid rise up the Minor League ladder for Braylon Doughty.

The #Guardians' No. 3 prospect (MLB No. 72) is emerging as a bona fide hurler at just 20 years old: https://t.co/edcvYTgEu9

Captains and Loons battle one last time in 2026. Talk to you at one!

Captains OF José Pirela in his first 18 High-A games:

.323 AVG, 5 2B, 5 HR, 19 RBI, 1.091 OPS

One of LC’s most clutch hitters since his promotion!

[Connor Canfield @ConnorCanfield1]

After José Pirela's walk-off home run last night, Lake County has now hit three walk-off homers on the year, with all of them coming against Great Lakes, including one at Dow Diamond (?!)

5/7 (G1): Jeffrey Mercedes

6/18 (G2): Nolan Schubart (at Dow Diamond)

9/1: José Pirela

[Connor Canfield @ConnorCanfield1]

Last week of the regular season as Lake County opens up a 7-game set with the Great Lakes Loons (High-A, Dodgers) in a big series.

Here’s how the East Division stands:
Great Lakes
West Michigan (2.5 GB)
Lake County (4.5 GB)

Catch @LoganPotosky and myself on the call at 6:35!

[Connor Canfield @ConnorCanfield1]

Lake County took 4 of 6 from Cedar Rapids last week behind one of MiLB’s potent offenses.

Anthony Martinez was a big part of that.

The Captains 1B hit .417 with a 1.355 OPS, 10 H, 1 2B, 4 HR & 9 RBI in 21 ABs.

He was one of five MiLB players last week with 10 H, 5 XBH & 9 RBI.

There was nothing like Jim Donovan calling a Nick Chubb TD run 🧡🧡🧡

I’ve spent so much time at Classic Auto Group Park this summer that I haven’t been downtown to Progressive Field in a minute.

Guardians look for their second straight win against former Captains LHP Tugboat Wilkinson.

The lefty had a 3.41 ERA in 41 starts with Lake County.

[Connor Canfield @ConnorCanfield1]

[MLB Scoring Changes @ScoringChanges]

🚨CRAZY BOX SCORE ALERT🚨

Let's go to the California League where last night, this montrosity happened. Yes, Ontario nearly blew a 16-0 lead, and there were TWO separate half innings where each team scored 11 runs. Final score ... 22-21.

Amazingly, this game ended in 3:57. All told there were:

110 plate appearances
443 pitches
43 combined runs
33 combined hits
20 combined walks
4 combined HBPs
10 combined WPs

The game ended on a strikeout that was originally ruled a dropped third strike, but changed after a consultation.

Complete box score if you want some light reading: https://t.co/vZE0rebhqT

[Connor Canfield @ConnorCanfield1]

After two hits tonight, Esteban González is now up to an 18-game on-base streak.

In that span:
.306 AVG
1.122 OPS
15 H
3 2B
1 3B
4 HR
13 RBI
12 BB
6 SB

The Captain outfielder has been a big bat in the bottom of the order in Lake County's hot stretch.
