Will the physicality of high majors bother him?

[Jeff Goodman @GoodmanHoops]

Scouting report on Cruz Davis - courtesy of a CAA coach.

Strengths: “He is an electric scorer off the bounce and catch. He is extremely fast with the ball in his hands.”

Weaknesses: “Will the physicality of High Majors bother him? He also isn’t the best on ball defender, but was asked to play 40 minutes.”

[Greg Hoogkamp @GregHoogkamp]

Cijntje's Double-A debut line (5 IP, 5 H, 3 ER, 2 BB, 4 K) would have looked better but for a couple of 0-2 missed locations leading to hits. He looked composed, especially from the stretch, striking out batters with both arms. He hit 96 as a RHP and 91 as a LHP. #TridentsUp

[Greg Hoogkamp @GregHoogkamp]

Colt Emerson launched his first Double-A home run tonight, a no-doubter to right. It was his only hit in five at bats, but I was impressed with his ability to manage the strike zone, the home run was on a 3-2 pitch, but he worked the count full from 1-2. #TridentsUp

[Nate Rasmussen @RasmussenBase]

What’s the deal with Jurrangelo Cijntje??

I’ve got a new article and video out on @ProspectsLive now talking all things amphibious, but here’s a preview 🧵 🪡 #Mariners

[Andrew Parker @ByAndrewParker]

The Red Sox are promoting top pitching prospect Payton Tolle to Triple-A Worcester, I’m told.
