The Keepers - #12 - SP - Domingo Tapia


12.       SP     Domingo Tapia

9-10-10: Tapia was named the winner of the Sterling Award, as the top player in 2010 for the GCL Mets. He went 4-3, 3.45, 10-G, 25-R, 18-ER, 49-H, 37.0-IP, 10-BB, 29-K

7-5-11: - We follow prospects here and we love to report good news, but every ballplayer (even prospects) has a bad day. It’s part of their maturing process. It’s also why there are so many levels in the minors. SP Domingo Tapia had a night he’d love to forget: 3.2 ip, 11 h, 9/8 r/er, 1/2 bb/k, 2 hr, 4:3:2… but shit happens, and Tapia will rebound from this four games from now.

54: - SP Domingo Tapia – I probably have Tapia too low. He’s making quite a name for himself this season, throwing at 100 for K-Port. 2012 will be the 5th year in the Mets system for Dom, who will play 2012 as a 21-year old. I have him starting for Savannah next season, but this is a closer in waiting. You give him one more season throwing 100+ heat, plus control on some pitch with sink, and you watch how fast this kid moves. ETA: Projected Mets closer 2014.

9-3-11: - Stock Up – SP Domingo Tapia – Brooklyn got a first taste of Domingo last night and they liked what they saw: 6.0-IP. 5-H, 0-R, 6-K, 0-BB, 0.00. Tapia will take his 100MPH show back to Coney Island next spring and is quickly becoming a real viable rotation option in the future.

9-25-11: - Domingo Tapia – Everybody that has seen this kid pitch gets excited real quick. He’s 20-years old, 6-4 and was throwing 100 in Brooklyn earlier this month. Stats for the season: 6-5, 3.38, 56.0-IP, 36-K, 16-BB. Needs lots of work and projects out as a future closer, but will probably start for the Cyclones in 2012.
