Flo 2nd pitch of the game. https://twitter.com/i/status/1544092868167536641

This is getting flat silly that he isn't at the MLB level

[dayners81]

Roderick Arias made his debut today, going 1-for-4 with a triple and run scored. He is a 17-year-old switch-hitting shortstop who was given a $4 million signing bonus. Depending on what happens in the international market over the next few years (draft? A completely new signing system?), he may be the owner of one of the last big-time bonuses the Yankees will be able to dish out.

As for Arias himself, we have seen and heard the song and dance for a long time now with the international bonus babies. There are so many potential outcomes that it isn’t worth worrying about. I am just happy he is finally on the field.

The starting pitchers today allowed one run over 27 innings of work.

Scranton Railriders (36-43) (Lost to Worcester, 6-4)

CF Estevan Florial: 1-for-5, HR (10), RBI, RS, K
He homered to lead off the game and is now on a 7-game hitting streak that features four doubles and five home runs.
LF Tim Locastro: 1-for-4, 2 K
SS Oswald Peraza: 1-for-4, 2B (11), RS, K
I type these up every day, so I am observant when players aren’t in the lineup – Peraza didn’t play in two of the three previous games so that had me a little worried. It seems that the worry was over nothing.
1B Jake Bauers: 1-for-3, RS, BB, K, SB (8), CS (3)
RF Phillip Evans: 1-for-2, 2B (13), RBI, RS, BB, K
2B Derek Dietrich: 2-for-4, 2 RBI, 2 K
A nice night for the veterans toiling down here.
DH Ronald Guzman: 0-for-2, 2 BB, K
3B Armando Alvarez: 0-for-3, BB, K
C Rob Brantly: 0-for-4, 2 K

LHP Ken Waldichuk: 5 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 6 K
Waldichuk allowed the only run amongst Yankees minor league starters today/tonight (Scranton, Somerset, Hudson Valley, Tampa, GCL). Not that it taints his performance. He owns a 2.52 ERA since his promotion (39.1 IP, 28 H, 12 R, 11 ER, 2 HR, 17 BB, 55 K). Overall, he has 101 strikeouts over 68 IP.
RHP Zach Greene: 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 3 K
3.51 ERA (33.1 IP, 27 H, 13 R, 13 ER, 4 HR, 17 BB, 46 K)
RHP Michael Gomez: 0.1 IP, 2 H, 3 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 0 K

RHP Edward Mujica: (L, 0-1) 0.2 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 0 K, HR

Somerset Patriots (47-29; 3-4 in the second half) (Outdueled Bowie, 1-0. They are in the playoffs regardless of their second-half play)

SS Anthony Volpe: 1-for-3, BB, SB (33)
12-game hitting streak (15-for-46). Overall line: .247/.341/.449 in 311 PA (19 doubles, 1 triple, 11 HR, 41 RBI, 48 R, 32 BB, 61 K (19.6%), 33-for-36 SB). His K% continues to fall.
DH Elijah Dunham: 0-for-4, K
CF Brandon Lockridge: 0-for-3, K
LF Jeisson Rosario: 0-for-2, BB, 2 K, CS (4)
2B Jesus Bastidas: 2-for-3, 2B (12), CS (4)
Bastidas is on a 5-game hitting streak, four of which are multi-hit affairs (9-for-21)
C Mickey Gasper: 0-for-2, BB, K
1B Chad Bell: 0-for-3, 2 K
RF Michael Beltre: 2-for-3, HR (6), RBI, RS, K, SB (19)
Beltre provides the offense. He has homered and stolen a base in all three of his July games.
3B Max Burt: 0-for-3, K

RHP Sean Boyle: (W, 5-4) 7 IP, 7 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 6 K
4.92 ERA (75 IP, 73 H, 47 R, 41 ER, 13 HR, 17 BB, 81 K). You have to love those strikeouts – it is the rather surprising (perhaps unlucky) home run total that is setting back his numbers.
LHP Josh Maciejewski: 1.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K
3.65 ERA (37 IP, 31 H, 19 R, 15 ER, 3 HR, 14 BB, 50 K). I am intrigued by him as a short reliever.
RHP Derek Craft (S, 5): 0.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K

Hudson Valley Renegades (39-37; 5-5 in the second half) (Shut down Jersey Shore, 8-0. Given what is going on outside my house tonight down here at the Jersey Shore, there was likely plenty of fireworks heard during the game)

SS Trey Sweeney: 2-for-6, 2B (10), RBI, RS
7-game hitting streak (9-for-26; 4 doubles). Some of these kids are simply too good to stay in slumps forever.
2B Cooper Bowman: 2-for-5, 2B (13), RBI, RS, BB, 2 K

Bowman hasn’t really been “struggling” but you can say he has been stuck in neutral (a hit here, a hit there, just not getting into a sustained hot streak). Good to see him put together a multi-hit game this evening.
CF Everson Pereira: 1-for-5, 3B (5), RBI, RS, K
If you are going to earn only one hit, may as well increase your slugging percentage with it.
1B Tyler Hardman: 1-for-3, SF, RBI, RS, BB
Exactly one hit in all four July games. He also has at least one RBI in each game.
DH Spencer Henson: 1-for-3, 2 RS, 2 BB
LF Aldenis Sanchez: 0-for-0, HBP
PR-LF James Nelson: 0-for-1, 3 BB, K
Entered the game after Sanchez was HBP.
C Carlos Narvaez: 2-for-3, HR (7), 3 RBI, RS, 2 BB
Not hitting for much average in 2022, but he is displaying some power and discipline (26 walks in 185 PA (14.1%))
RF Pat DeMarco: 0-for-5, 2 K
3B Cristian Perez: 2-for-5, 2B (1), RBI, RS, 2 K
Perez doesn’t play much so it is nice to see him have a good game.

RHP Blane Abeyta: (W, 1-6) 6 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 5 K
5.59 ERA (56.1 IP, 58 H, 37 R, 35 ER, 3 HR, 27 BB, 54 K). Like many young pitchers, it is all about the walks. Not to sound too simplistic because I know it isn’t simplistic on the hill. Tonight, he kept them in check and dominated.
RHP Nelson Alvarez: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K
RHP Carlos Gomez: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K
RHP Charlie Ruegger: 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K

Tampa Tarpons (34-42; 7-3 in the second half) (Defeated Ft. Myers, 5-1)

2B Oswaldo Cabrera: 0-for-3
Cabrera is finally back (first game since May 8th). He struggled before his injury (.186/.255/.337 in 95 plate appearances). However, as we keep seeing, many of the Yankees’ top prospects have bounced back from tough starts. He may have as well – we’ll never know. Anyway, once he is healthy and back in the groove, he will get back to Scranton.
2B Ben Cowles: 1-for-1, HR (7), RBI, RS
I will once again remind everyone that players are routinely pulled from their early rehab games.
CF Jasson Dominguez: 1-for-3, RS, BB
DH Austin Wells: 1-for-2, RS, BB
Speaking of rehab stints, when the heck does Wells’ stint end?
1B T.J. Rumfield: 0-for-2, RBI, K
Rumfield was dominating prior to his injury (.354/.439/.583 in 57 plate appearances for Hudson Valley).
1B Ben Rice: 1-for-2
SS Alexander Vargas: 1-for-3, 2B (10), RBI, HBP
C Antonio Gomez: 2-for-4, HR (3), RBI, RS
8-game hitting streak. Prospect followers have been hoping for a hot stretch for Gomez. He is up to .227/.325/.320 in 200 PA.
3B Marcos Cabrera: 0-for-4, RBI, K
LF Grant Richardson: 0-for-3, 2 K
RF Raimfer Salinas: 1-for-3, K

RHP Tyrone Yulie: (W, 2-2) 5.1 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 10 K (new personal best)
4.64 ERA (52.1 IP, 35 H, 33 R, 27 ER, 5 HR, 34 BB, 52 K). There is a lot of good in this profile. He is only 20, so let’s see what happens as he works on that control.
RHP Danny Watson: 1.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K
2.97 ERA (36.1 IP, 24 H, 14 R, 12 ER, 1 HR, 22 BB, 38 K)
RHP Bailey Dees: 1 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 2 K, HR
4.05 ERA (26.2 IP, 19 H, 14 R, 12 ER, 2 HR, 16 BB, 32 K)
RHP Jack Neely: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K
4.25 ERA (36 IP, 28 H, 21 R, 17 ER, 2 HR, 21 BB, 64 K). Those strikeouts make you salivate. He has at least one strikeout in 25 of his 26 appearances.

GCL Yankees (15-6) (Crushed the Phillies, 10-1)

Despite all the runs, the Yankees only hit one home run: C Agustin Ramirez cranked out his fifth bomb of the season. How silly is this league? Ramirez has driven home 26 runs in 17 games (80 plate appearances). Anyway, this is a 20-year-old catcher with 13 home runs in 90 career games. We’ll see what happens when he is challenged up in Tampa…SS Dayro Perez went 2-for-4 with a pair of doubles (5) and three runs batted in. The leadoff hitter also scored three times. He is hitting .271/.414/.471 in 87 plate appearances with 23 runs scored. He is a perfect 10-for-10 stealing bases. Without looking, I bet he scores a lot of the runs that Ramirez brings home…2B Jared Serna tripled, drove in a run, scored a run, and drew a walk. Standing only 5’8″, drawing walks could become one of his calling cards…RHP Justin Lange, acquired for Luke Voit, threw 3.2 innings (1 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 7 K). His ERA is a bloated 7.20, but he allowed 11 earned runs in his first four innings of work. The ERA has steadily fallen from there…RHP Osiel Rodriguez (2-0) earned the win. His line: 4 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 1 BB, 6 K. It feels as if Rodriguez has been talked about for a while, but he is only 20 years old…RHP Nolberto Henriquez finished off the game by recording four outs without allowing a run. This is the 22-year-old’s debut season in the states. Thus far, he has posted a 1.13 ERA over eight innings.

Damn!!!

The best part of it was how smooth and effortless it was. He was not in any rush, whatsoever.

Unless he's in a package for Soto or Alcantara, I would be very reluctant to trade him

He's a huge part of the reason I don't think they should trade for another starter

Pretty impressive especially his K/9.

Can't wait to see him in the majors.
