Re: Minor League Updates (8/21) ~ Cards System
No Rainiel.... but we get a Cameron Nickens debut.... Austin Peay State, 2025, 17th Round pick
he bopped 18 HR for APSU this year, while batting .422 ....he played for Houston 3 years before....only managed 11 HR collectively.
definitely was a step down in competition.
JonJon Gazdar is an APSU alum....2024 draft....and so far this year, he hasn't lived up at all to his 2024 College power numbers....only 1 HR. Though he has hit a lot of singles for Peoria. Good batting average...until last week. He's down to .279

after the draft, there was a guy on I think it was MLBN who was asked who he thought might be a real sleeper in the Cards draft and he said Nickens.
Re: Minor League Updates (8/21) ~ Cards System
we'll see...APSU usually has 2-4 players in every offensive Top 10 stat....but again, the competition they face is the bottom of the barrel. I'm rooting for him. Lord knows we need power bats....but I honestly don't think he's a power bat.82birds wrote: ↑21 Aug 2025 17:17 pmthx Ducecraviduce wrote: ↑21 Aug 2025 16:35 pm No Rainiel.... but we get a Cameron Nickens debut....

I really like Dattalo for power

St. Lucie's John Bay was teammates with Cameron Nickens at APSU.....Ray went undrafted, the Mets signed him the day after the 2025 draft
he's (Bay) is a bopper.....slugging .571 in 42 AB since late July

Always appreciate the links and all the great work you do here Crav.
Nice to see Baez doesn't need the perfect launch angle to get it out of the park.
