The Daily Mets Minor League Update - June 17th

Morning.

 Tranactions: 

            None reported to me. 

Player Of The Day - 

There were so many ways to go this night with this award. 

If this was a horse race… 

WIN goes to an outing we have been waiting for all season from this guy… CLONES RHSP Blade Tidwell had it all, going 7-IP, 0-R, 6-K, and lowered his once out of control ERA to 4.14. Let’s see if this is the rule going forward, rather than the exception.

 

PLACE would be the staple on this award receiver… SYR LF Ronny Mauricio went 4-6, 2-R, 11^th HR, 2-RBI, raising his BA/OPS to .326/.918. One caveat would be another outfield throwing error, his total 15^th of the season from both short and left.

 

SHOW: There has been some serious hitting done so far this season at the DSL level and no one has had a better day than SS Branny De Oleo did yesterday - 2-4, 3-R, Grand Slam HR (1), 4-RBI, .407, .868. Our first DSL POD this season. 

 

Syracuse:

2B Danny Mendick - 3-5, 2-R, 2-doubles (10), .257

SS Jonathan Arauz - 2-5, R

3B Luke Ritter - 2-5, R

 

B-Mets: 

Christian Scott thrives as a starter in Mets system - 

Christian Scott spent most of his college career at Florida pitching out of the bullpen as a late-inning reliever. He began to show flashes of dominance when he posted a 1.20 ERA in seven appearances during the truncated 2020 season. In his junior year, he struck out a career-best 51 batters and held the opposition to a .230 batting average in 54 innings. 

Although Scott was a highly effective reliever in Gainesville, Florida, the New York Mets believed his stuff could translate well to the starting rotation. They began preparing him for that role a year after drafting him in the fifth round of the 2021 MLB draft. 

CF Brandon McIlwain - 2-4, 13^th double, .261

RHRP Trey McLoughlin - 2-OP, 0-R, 3-K, 3.00

It was the Drake Osborn Game tonight for the @BKCyclones in Aberdeen. Break up a no-hit bid with a solo home run in the 6th. Drive in 2 on just the 2nd hit allowed by RH Keagan Gillies this year in the 7th. Add ANOTHER solo blast in the 9th.

 

Brooklyn Cyclones (@BKCyclones) - 

Crabcakes and dingers....that's what Drake Osborn does!

The Cyclones back stop with his second home run of the night and his 4th RBI.   Osborn now has six home runs including four in his last five games.
