August 17th Transactions and Kudos: Stephen Nogosek, Daison Acosta, Josh Wolf, Kevin Hernandez





      Kudos –


AAA-Syracuse (game 1) – SP Harol Gonzalez: 6-IP, ER, 2-K. 3.09


AAA-Syracuse (game 2) – RP Stephen Nogosek: 1-IP, 0-R, K, 0.00

Look, I know this kid had no success for the parent team this season (7-G, 10.80-ERA), but I’m telling you that he is a future member of our 2020 pen.

He has now pitched in 18… count them… 18 Syracuse games, and 25-IP, and he still hasn’t given up a AAA run.

Definitely one of my September call-ups.


AA-Binghamton – RF Quinn Brodey: 2-4, .250


A+ St. Lucie – RP Thomas McIlraith: 1-IP, 0-R, K


A-Columbia – RP Daison Acosta: 6-IP, 0-ER, 4-K, 2.70

      An excellent season so far for Acosta.

Four games in Brooklyn (0.98) and eight here (2.70), combine for a 12-G, 2.13 season.

Bonus: He’s only 20-years old.


Rookie – Kingsport – RF Scott Ota: 3-5, R, .289


            GCL – SP Josh Wolf: 2-IP, 0-ER, 1-K, 4.50

                  Wolf is developing nicely as a top prospect.

Only 13 pitches (11 strikes) in the two innings he was allotted.

Has now four limited pitch start. One was a disaster (Aug 5th, 1-IP, 3-ER) and three that collectively gave up zero earned runs.

I still think the tops you might see from him this season is three innings thrown.


            DSL-1 – SP Kevin Hernandez: 6-IP, 0-R, 5-K, 3.19

The 18/yr. old is settling in nicely as a possible future prospect. His past 4-starts: 20.2-IP, 21-K, 1-ER.

He pitched for the DSL-2 team earlier this year as a reliever and put up a 5.82-ERA.

Now, for DSL-1 as a starter: 4-ST, 2-0, 0.44, 0.92


            DSL-2 – SP David Marcano: 6-iP, 0-ER, 4-K

Mack, Good point on Nogosek. He makes more sense than relivers who have struggled in AAA.
Also kudos to Garrison Bryant who pitched 5 shutout innings last night for Brooklyn before the game was suspended for fog.

Ajlso offer Nogosek support. His stat-shattering appearances 1.2IP, %H, 5R came on 2 occasions both within 24 rs of call-up. Gotta see more to make a judgement.

Nogosek should help if he is called up in September with those good AAA stats.
