Harol
Gonzalez made his fourth start for Gigantes del Cibao in the Dominican
Winter league.
After two scoreless innings, Harol made five pitches in the
third to five batters getting the first batter to line out to shortstop, then a
homer to Detroit Tigers AAA shortstop Will
Castro and three straight singles.
After that, Harol’s night was over.
Harol’s line for the night was 2.1 innings, 2 runs, both
earned, 5 hits, 1 HR, 1 walk, 1 hits batsman, 2 K’s, 22 pitches, 17
strikes. Previous starts he has usually
thrown 60-70 pitches as that seems to be his limit this Winter.
Gigantes del Cibao ended up winning 12-2 over Leones del
Escogido. You can see
the full box score here.
Overall, Harol is 0-2 with a 4.76 ERA in four starts, 11.1
innings. He has allowed 15 hits, 7 runs,
6 earned, with 5 walks and 10 K’s.
Harol Gonzalez had a tremendous 2019 for Binghamton and Syracuse. After going 6-4 with a 3.14 in 17 games for Double
A Binghamton, he went 6-0 for Syracuse with a 2.68 ERA in 8 games for
Syracuse. This was a big bounce back for
him after a tough 2018 campaign. In 2018,
Harol pitched in St. Lucie, Las Vegas and Binghamton. His 2018 Binghamton stats were most glaring as
he went 0-9 in nine starts with a 7.79 ERA.
Other Mets players in the Dominican League this Winter include
2019 Syracuse IF/OF Arismendy
Alcantara. Alcantara is hitting .240
in 16 games, 12 hits in 50 at-bats with 6 doubles, 2 triples, and 3 stolen
bases.
A 27-year-old switch hitter, Arismendy played 2b, 3b, LF,
CF, and RF for Syracuse last year. He
showed power and speed. I thought he
would a perfect call-up to NY for the bench, but it never happened in
2019. Scheduled to become a minor league
free agent yesterday, Here’s hoping he is back in Syracuse next year.
Another 2019 Syracuse Met, Rymer
Liriano has 11 at-bats with one hit for a .091 average in 6 games.
Binghamton and Syracuse pitcher Adonis
Uceta. In 7 games he is 1-0 with a
0.00 ERA in 5.1 innings with 5 K’s, 3 walks and 2 hits for a 0.94 WHIP.
St. Lucie’s Carlos
Hernandez also has joined the league going 0-1 in two games with an 18.00
ERA. He went 2 scoreless innings his
first time out but then didn’t record an out his second outing giving up 4 runs
on 2 hits and a walk.
Still no signs of Edwin Diaz or
Jeurys Familia yet.
Other leagues in Puerto Rico and
Venezuela will start soon with more Mets players expected.

I am not going to judge Harol on how many runs he gives up this winter.
He needs to get the work in.
Guy to watch here is Uceta.
Thanks for the updates, John. Keep 'em coming. 👍
Nice update, John.
