@ChrisCoop_ Give him & the coaches all credit for the changes he made this offseason, but Jones was a much better prospect, Martin hit 14 HR’s last season and he hit 222. This entire season he has been a new hitter.
Luis Puello who hit 3HR’s the last game he played has hit another HR in his first at bat tonight. Why he did not play the last few games, who knows but this 20 year old playing the OF again is someone to watch.@VirginiaYankee1@YankeesFarm
@VirginiaYankee1@BobbyMilone29 My one big hope is learning from Judge on laying off the low pitches which is his biggest flaw as a hitter. Yes he is always going to swing and miss at pitches in the zone but if he can stop chasing at the off speed down, he will take a leap.
Luis Puello has two HR’s and 6 RBI’a for Tampa so far tonight. The first to right center for a GS and then a two run shot to left center. He’s only 20 now with 7 HR’s in 32 games. He’s been playing left field besides catching. @VirginiaYankee1@YankeesFarm
@VirginiaYankee1@YankeesFarm Forgot the video, lol. Here is the video @YankeesFarm posted of him which shows good breaking pitches for someone his age. https://t.co/g8LQOotryP
@VirginiaYankee1 Keep an eye on Aguilar, when you see where he is hitting, and everything for his age, he’s 16 until August. I think he was not expensive but he’s also a two way player according to @YankeesFarm .
@YankeesFarm He’s now playing & is batting right behind all the big hitters in the DNYY lineup, so I think they must really like him. A kid to keep an eye on for sure especially if they let him pitch as well. He’s 16 until Aug so maybe they keep him off the mound for now.
@marcuszappia@VirginiaYankee1 Pretty much at every level we are seeing significant improvement in power from guys new to the system and guys who have been here for many years. The FCL & DSL guys should be moved to the FCL & low A respectively.
@ChrisCoop_ Good report, but I will disagree on one topic his high sliders, as @dcone36 says, a high slider can be a very effective pitch if thrown where you want to. He struck out lefties with it high and inside, hitters have a hard time hitting that pitch when it’s up.
@YankeesFarm@BobbyMilone29 Players in the DSL do not hit 7 HR’s in 10 games, like ever, he needs to be in Tampa, get him over here Yankees. He has 14 extra base hits in 10 games, come on him, Torres & Miranez need to be challenged.
@VirginiaYankee1 There is confusion here, he was never off the IL on his profile page, I looked the day he was in the lineup and he was still on it. He was on a rehab assignment just like guys in the majors are when they go to the minors. I hope he is backs soon.
@VirginiaYankee1@YankeesFarm The 6th a quiet quick one with two groundouts and a hump back liner to second base. Still hitting 95 with his fastball. I think those should be the last pitches he throws in Low A, I hope the Yankees agree with me and send him to High A
Henry Lalane has as high a ceiling as any Yankees pitcher, & he looks like he’s back, hitting 96 97 & with his slider & change looking good.@VirginiaYankee1@YankeesFarm He should not be on any of these trade lists. I don’t care if he needs to be protected.
@VirginiaYankee1@YankeesFarm A lead off single to start the 5th & then a stolen base, he followed that up by striking out the side, two swinging on high sliders one to a lefty again right on the corner on the outside. 77 pitches through 5 with 9k’s 2 walks & a single & double allowed.
@jbrophybaseball I think it was because of his last two injury plagued seasons for why he was not protected last off season.
I don’t think there is any chance he’s not protected if he’s healthy now.
