MACK - Friday Observations - Weekly Prospects Update

 

Beginning this week, I have added certain players that are ranked high on the top Mets prospect list that MLB sends out every season. Their performance this season so far has been very disappointing; however, I’m assuming you would like to keep tract of their weekly progress. So, I have begun to add them here.

 

SP Jack Wenninger/AAA-Syracuse –

As of end 6-24 – 14-G, 12-ST, 3-5, 3.71, 1.43, 63-IP,36-BB, 64-K

As of end 7-1 – 15-G, 12-ST, 3-5, 3.84, 1.43, 68-IP, 39-K, 68-K

7-4 – 7-IP, 1-H, 0-R, 3-BB, 5-K – oops, der it is! Wenninger finally put together a killer outing and returned to the ace we have him projected at.

As of end 7-8  - 16-G, 13-ST, 4-5, 3.48, 1.34, 75-IP, 42-BB, 73-K

 

SP Zach Thornton/AAA-Syracuse & MLB-Mets –

As of end 6-24 – 7-G, 6-ST, 4.80, 1.50, 30-IP, 14-BB, 29-K

As of end 7/1 – 8-G, 7-ST, 1-3, 4.54, 1.46, 35.2-IP, 18-BB, 33-

7-8 – 2.0-IP, 0-H, 0-R, 5-K

As of end 7-8 – 9-G, 8-ST, 1-3, 4.30, 1.38, 37.2-IP, 18-BB, 38-K

 

SP Jonah Tong/AAA-Syracuse

As of 6-24 – 12-ST, 1-5, 6.30, 1.62, 50-IP, 32-BB, 68-K

As of 7/1 – 13-ST, 1-5, 5.95, 1.55, 56-IP, 34-BB, 71-K

7-2 – 5-IP, 4-H, 3-ER, 2-BB, 3-K – even his strikeouts are down…

As of end 7-8 – 14-ST, 1-5, 5.90, 1.52, 61-IP, 36-BB, 74-K

 

RP Jonathan Pintaro/AAA-Syracuse only -

As of end 6-24 – 20-APPS, 20-APPS, 2-0, 3.63, 1.15, 34.2-IP, 14-BB, 41-K

As of end 7/1 – AAA – same

                           MLB – 5-G, 0-ST, 0-0, 5.11, 0.73, 12.1-IP, 3-BB, 12-

As of end 7/8 – AAA - same

 

RP Ben Simon/AAA-Syracuse –

As of end 6-24 – 11-APPS, 2.57, 1.14, 7-BB, 8-K

As of end 7/1 – 13-APPS, 2-2, 2.20, 1.16, 16.1-IP, 8-BB, 9-K

7-4 – 1.1-IP, 2-H, 1-ER, BB, K

7-8 – 1-IP, 2-H, 1-R

As of end 7/8 – 15-APPS, 1-ST, 2-2, 2.89, 1.29, 18.2-IP, 9-BB, 10-K

As of 7-8 – AAA: 17-APPS, 1-ST, 0-1, 1.77, 1.52, 20.1-IP, 17-BB, 21-K

As you can see, Hammer needs to work on his command.

On the evening of 7-8, the Mets promoted Hammer to Queens for what we expect to be a short stay.

 

ADDED - RP Ryan Lambert/AAA-Syracuse – we all expected Lambert to be one of the top two minor league relievers this season and, frankly, it just hasn’t happened. Still the 100+mph fastball is there and we need to keep tract of him as he goes forward.

7-3 – 1-1P, 1-H, 1-ER, BB

7-5 – 1-IP, O-H, ER, 3-BB (!)

7-8 – 2.0-IP, 0-H, 0-R, BB, 2-K

As of 7-8 – 23-APPS, 3-1, 5.73, 1.64, 22-IP, 20-BB, 30-K

 

ADDED – RP Jefry Yan/AAA-Syracuse – yes, Yan is 29, but I decided to add him here before Wednesday’s game after reading that, at combined Binghamton/Syracuse this season, he so far has 66 strikeouts in 34.2 innings pitched.

As of 7-8 – AAA: 7-APPS, 2-1, 3.38, 1.25, 8-IP, 6-BB, 21-K

See?

 

ADDED – 1B Ryan Clifford/AAA-Syracuse – no one has disappointed more this season than Clifford, who is well on his way to setting the new record for the most strikeouts by a Mets minor leaguer. It’s hard to believe that MLB.com has him as the #2 Mets prospect. Let’s follow his “progress”.

7-3 – 1-3, R, bb, (2K)

7-4 – 1-3, R, RBI, BB (K)

7-8 Game 1 – 1-4, 2-R, RBI

7-8 Game 2 – 1-3, R, HR (15), 2-RBI

As of end 7-8 – 303-AB, 15-HR, 44-RBI, 126-K, .195/.284/.386/.670

And baseball says this is the #2 Mets prospect

 

2B Ji Hwan Bae/AAA-Syracuse

As of end 6-24 – 227-AB, 4-HR, 35-RBI, 35-BB, .278/.381.410/.790

As of end 7/1 – 248-AB, 5-HR, 26-RBI, 37-BB, .274/.375/.411/.786

7-2 – 0-3

7-3 – 2-4, 2-R, BB

7-4 – 0-3, R, BB

7-8 Game 1 – 1-3, R, 2-BB

7-8 Game 2 – 0-2, R, BB

As of end 7/8 – 263-AB, 5-HR, 26-RBI, 43-BB, .270/.378/.399/.777

 

SS/3B/2B Yonny Hernandez/AAA-Syracuse –

As of end 6-24 – 178-AB, 2-HR, 20-RBI, .287/.381/.360/.741

As of end 7/1 – 199-AB, 2-HR, 25-RBI, .307/.390/.387/.777

7-2 – 1-2, R, RBI, 2-BB

7-5 – 0-3, BB

7-8 – Game 1 – 0-2, R

As of end 7/8 – 209-AB, 2-HR, 29-RBI, .306/.398/.383/.781

 

ADDED – 3B Christian Arroyo/AAA-Syracuse – added after his July 4^th game in which he raised his seasonal BA to .298. That’s impressive in this modern game.

7-4 – 1-4, R

7-8 – Game 1 – 1-3, 2-R, RBI, 2-BB, 2B (12)

As of end 7/8 – 191-AB, 6-HR, 42-RBI, .298/.348/.455/.803

Arroyo is 31. Far too old to be considered a prospect. Yet, a guy with this talent is nice to have stashed at the AAA level just in case…

 

OF Nick Morabito/AAA-Syracuse

As of end 6-24 – 243-AB, 8-HR, 28-RBI, 34-BB, 26-SB, .263/.368/.416/.784

As of end 7/1 – 266-AB, 8-HR, 31-RBI, .271/.369/.421/.790.

7-3 – 1-5

7-4 – 1-4

7-5 – 2-3, 2-R, HR (9), RBI, BB

7-8 Game 1 – 1-2, 2-BB

7-8 Game 2 – 0-2, BB

As of end 7-8 – 282-AB, 9-HR, 32-RBI, 28-SB, .273/.376/.426/.801

 

SP Jonathan Santucci/AA-Binghamton –         

As of end 6-24 – 14-ST, 2-5, 3.95, 1.33, 66-IP, 34-BB, 80-K

As of end 7/1 – 15-ST, 2-5, 3.84, 1.31, 68-IP, 33-BB, 83-K

7-5 – 6.1-IP, 2-H, 2-ER, 4-BB, 10-K (!), (3.77) – Santucci is starting to string together quality starts. This one with double-digit strikeouts. Impressive.

As of end 7/8 – 16-ST, 2-6, 3.77, 1.28, 74-IP, 39-BB, 93-K

 

SP Channing Austin/AA - Binghamton –

 As of 5/27 - A+ - 8-ST, 2-1, 1.17 (Brooklyn), 38.1-IP. 48-K, 22-BB

7-2 – AAA – 2.2-IP, 3-H, 1-ER, 0-BB, 3-K – Austin came off the IL last week, debuted for Binghhamton (1-IP, 3-ER, 2-balks), then began to straighten out with this outing.

7-6 – 2.2-IP, 0-H, 0-R, 3-BB, 2.K

As of end 7-8 – AA – 3-ST, 0-1, 5.68, 1.74, 6.1-IP, 6-BB, 6-K

 

ADDED – SP R.J. Gordon/AA-Binghamton - Gordon impressed most of the scouts last year and everyone expected him to start strong this season. He hasn’t.

7-2 – 5-IP, 5-H, 0-R, BB, 2-K – an excellent entry outing for RJ.

As of end 7-8 – 10-ST, 0-5, 6.61, 1.84, 32.2-IP, 17-BB, 25-K

 

RP Felipe De La Cruz/AA - Binghamton -

As of end 6-24 – Combined AA/AAA – 20-APPS, 0-1, 2.45, 1.31, 25.2-IP, 35-K

7-3 – 1-IP, 2-H, ER, 2-K – the scoreless inning streak has been broken

As of end 7-8 – 30-APPS, 0-1, 3.51, 1.17, 33.1-IP, 11-BB, 50-K

 

ADDED – RP Danis Correa/AA-Binghamton – a definite new name on the scene. The 26/year old went 2.08 for Brooklyn earlier this year, followed by 2.45 for Binghamton. This outing brings him to 2.16 for Binghamton.

7-5 – 1-IP, O-H, 0-R, BB, K (2.16)

As of end 7-8 – 7-APPS, 1-1, 1.80, 1.10, 10-IP, 4-BB, 15-K

 

ADDED – RP Justin Armbruester – another newbie who made this report because of his current 1.50-ERA. Converted starter.

7-6 – 0.1-IP, 0-H, 0-R, 1.50

As of end 7-8 – 6-APPS, 0-0, 1.50, 0.66, 6-IP, 1-BB, 6-K

 

ADDED – C Chris Suero/AA-Binghamton – my personal favorite, Suero started slow, showed a little life a couple of times, and is still stuck below the Mendoza line. Huge disappointment so far.

7-3 – 0-4, R

7-4 – 0-3, 2-BB

7-6 – 0-4, 2-R, 2-BB

As of end 7-8 – 238-AB, 7-HR, 40-RBI, .193/.349/.395/.744

Underwhelming at best.

 

SP Jose Chirinos/A+ Brooklyn –

As of end 6-24 – 4-ST, 1-2, 3.86, 1.47, 21-IP, 9-BB, 23-K

6-25 – 5-IP, 5-H, 5-ER, 2-BB, 5-K

As of end 7-8 – 7-ST, 1-4, 5.19, 1.55, 34.2-IP, 18-BB, 38-K

Chirinos continues to struggle at this level.

 

SP Nicholas Carreno/A+ Brooklyn –

As of end 6-24 – AAA: 3-ST, 0-1, 7.71, 1.64, 14-IP, 9-BB, 15-K

As of end 7/1 – 4-ST, 0-1, 6.00, 1.61, 18-IP, 13-BB, 16-K

7-4 – 2.1-IP, 2-H, 4-ER, 5-BB, 2-K, HR – Carreno seems to have forgot where the zone is anymore. Everything he did remarkable for St. Lucie this season has quickly been erased when he hit the city. Not really sure if he should still be in this report.

As of end 7-8 – 5-ST, 0-1, 7.08, 1.77, 20.1-IP, 18-BB, 18-K

 

ADDED – SP Noah Hall/A+ Brooklyn – Hall impressed a lot of us last season (2.72), but has got off to a horrible start this season. But not on Tuesday:

7-6 – 6-IP, 3-H, 0-R, 3-BB, 7-K

As of end 7-8 – 17-G, 15-ST, 2-6, 5.19, 1.70, 76.1IP, 57-BB, 81-K

7-5 – 2-IP, 1-H, 0-R, 3-K – relieving this day for some reason.

As of end 7-8 – 8-G, 7-ST, 4-1, 1.49, 0.55, 36-1-IP, 5-BB, 35-K

Currently, the ace of the chain

 

SP Dakota Hawkins/A+ Brooklyn

7-3 – 2-IP, 5-H, 5-ER, 3-BB, K – well… every pitcher has bad days. Hopefully, this is a one and done for The Hawk.

RP Juan Arnaud/A+ Brooklyn – The 22/yr. old righthander is quietly doing a good job this season.

As of end 7/1 – 25-APPS, 2-1, 2.81, 1.36, 25.2-IP, 14-BB, 39-K

HELIUM ALERT

 

RHSP Maxgregori Harvey/DSL Orange – Harvey is not  promoted as a top pitching prospect; however, he is off to a hell of a start this season. On Friday, The 19/year old went 3.0-IP, 1-ER, 6-K, padding his seasonal stats to 5-G, 0-0, 1.64, 1.18, 11-IP, 20-K. Remember… Latin kids that pitch well are rare at this stage,

 

LHSP Eduardo Pina/DSL Blue – got another “non-prospect Latin kid pitcher” doing wonderful things… 17/year old Pina faired well on Friday, going 4-IP, 4-H, 0-R, 1-BB, 1-K. Fore the season: 5-G, 0-0, 1.59, 1.15, 11.1-IP, 7-K.

RP Austin Brown/FCL - this one is off to an interesting start. Brown was signed a ways back as an UDFA and immediately went on the IL. He was recently activated and, so far, has faced six batters. Gave up a single and struck out the other five. News at 11.

 

RHSP Abner Mesa/DSL Orange – the 19/year old continues to impress, going 5-IP, 4-H, 0-R, 3-K on Wednesday and running his seasonal ERA to 2.16. The top DSL prospect pitcher this season.
