No Deniel, huh?

No Deniel, huh?

so far he has a good eye, and a hole in his bat. 3 Walks, 3 K's, 3 Runs, 7 PA's...no hits. Only 2 games played. Still plenty of time for him.

How many HR's does Springfield hit tonight in Hodgetown Stadium home of the Amarillo SodPoodles?

Will Chase and JJ hit HR's?

I think Yeager and Bernal will definitely hit multiple HR's this series...if not tonight

the ball does fly in Amarillo for some reason

[craviduce]

Palm Beach 0, Bradenton 0 ; Top 1st / Just about to start

Jonathan Mejia leads off

[craviduce]

Palm Beach 0, Bradenton 0 ; Bot 1st

Nelfy Ynfante takes the mound

Jonathan Mejia ~ 0-1...pop up to 3B
Won-bin Cho ~ 0-1...ground out to SS
Cade McGee ~ 0-1, K...swinging, trouble with the curve

[craviduce]

Bradenton 3, Palm Beach 0 ; Top 2nd

Nelfy Ynfante ~ 1 IP, 5 H, 3 R, 0 BB, 2 K ...29 pitches, 23 strikes

Pirate's first round pick, 9th overall, 2024 draft, Konnor Griffin leads off for Bradenton.... smokes a single up the middle, 114mph EV

Ynfante's fastball sat around 91-93 mph, Topped 95mph . Walks more than he should in his young career....not much control on his Curve and Slider when I saw him last year. His Curve and Slider in the 1st inning was very fat and caught too much of the zone

Pirates are hitting everything off him so far....fastballs, curves, sliders. He's hitting the zone as a starter, better than he did as a reliever

Not looking like a '24 repeat for Palm Beach....

yeah, they're missing the quality starting pitching they've enjoyed the last two seasons....though, Davis showed pretty well in his Pro Debut

Bradenton 3, Palm Beach 0 ; Top 3rd

Nelfy Ynfante ~ 2 IP, 5 H, 3 R, 0 BB, 2 K....38 pitches, 29 strikes....still hard contact, but the defensive did make a stop.
