For two of the victories, pitching carried the day with Kane County and Reno allowing 1 and 2 runs respectively. Here are the stars from last night’s games:3 Stars: Reno RHP Taylor Clarke 6 IP, 5 H, 2 R (2 ER), 1 BB, 9 K, W (1-0)2 Stars: Kane County RHP Jackson Goddard 5 IP, 4 H, 1 R (1 ER), 2 BB Lou Brock Jersey , 5 K, W (1-0)1 Star: Visalia CF Jake McCarthy 2 for 4, 2 3B, 3 RBI0 Stars: Kane County RF Tra Holmes 0 for 4, 3 K(AAA) Reno Aces 4, Albuquerque Isotopes 2: Taylor Clarke turned in another solid outing, allowing 2 runs in 6 innings with a K/BB of 9/1. He also contributed to his win at the plate, going 1 for 3 with an RBI single. The Aces (2-4) plated 3 runs in the 2nd inning to take a commanding lead early while Clarke was dealing. The Isotopes plated 2 off Clarke in the 5th with the aid of some less than stellar defense from SS Domingo Leyba. Yasmany Tomas would answer in the bottom half of the inning with an RBI single to the 3B. Tomas is batting .364 with a 1.027 OPS through 6 games despite a poor 5/1 K/BB ratio. The bullpen did the job with Stefan Crichton retiring all 6 hitters he faced and Rubby De La Rosa struck out the final 3 hitters of the 9th after hitting the first 2 with pitches. (A+) Visalia Rawhide 8, Rancho Cucamonga Quakes 5: The Rawhide (4-2) pounded out 5 XBH to send a tremor down the spines of the Quakes pitchers. Jeff Bain wasn’t terribly effective himself, allowing 3 runs (2 earned) in 4 innings thanks to crappy defense (Rawhide made 4 errors). After trailing 3-1, the Rawhide scored 7 unanswered to take a 8-3 lead. Jake McCarthy tripled twice and drove in 3, as he was awarded an RBI on an infield fly play in the first. After starting the year with a Chris Davis esque line of 0 for 12 with 8 Ks, McCarthy is 3 for his last 6 with 2 triples Ken Boyer Jersey , 2 walks, and 3 RBI. Luis Castillo picked up the win with 2 innings of 1-run ball (unearned run). Kyler Stout struck out all 6 hitters he faced. Matt Brill allowed 1 run in the 9th. Renae Martinez had a particularly bad day at the office with 2 throwing errors and bounced into a double play (albeit it scored a run).(A) Kane County Cougars 4, Cedar Rapids Kernels 1: Jackson Goddard allowed 1 run in 5 innings, striking out 5 and allowing just 4 hits overall. The Cougars (4-2) struck for 3 runs in the top of the 5th, when David Garza doubled home two and Geraldo Perdomo drove Garza in with a single. Cedar Rapids countered with a run in the bottom half of the frame in Goddard’s final inning, but that’s all they got. Cougar pitching was stingy with runners in scoring position, with Cedar Rapids going 0 for 7 in that situation and stranding 11 runners for the game. Garza would cap his game by driving in the 4th and final run with a groundout in the 9th. Erin Baldwin got the next 8 outs and Andy Toelken got the final 4 outs for the save. Here is an updated look at candidates for the ninth pick of the 2019 MLB Draft."WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections Talking Chop User’s GuideTalking Chop PodcastAround the NL EastBaseball Analysis PrimerUpdated look at candidates for the Atlanta Braves top 2019 draft pickNew,37commentsHere is an updated look at candidates for the ninth pick of the 2019 MLB Draft.EDTShareTweetShareShareUpdated look at candidates for the Atlanta Braves top 2019 draft pickAdam Hagy-USA TODAY SportsNow that we are in April, we are two months into draft season and two more months out from the draft itself. That means players are starting to both emerge as well as drop off the board for the Braves with the ninth overall pick.Now is as good of a time as any to see who has come off the board for the Braves because they have moved up, or moved down, as well as some guys who have moved into consideration. Note that Oregon State star catcher Adley Rutschman and Texas prep shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. were already off the board as guys who won’t drop to nine and Carter Stewart isn’t going to be a candidate because he would need to allow the Braves to draft him again (this happens with any player drafted by a team previously and not just due to how things worked out last summer).Moving Off Board (Moving Up)Andrew Vaughn, 1B, Cal - I was high on Vaughn before his name really started to get out there and he quickly became my top target in this draft as a realistic pick. But then he just kept producing to the point he has taken himself out of any position to drop down to the ninth pick. A likely Top 5 pick http://www.stlouiscardinalsteamshop.com/authentic-marcell-ozuna-jersey , Vaughn is a big time bat that will make some team very happy.Moving Off the Board (Moving Down)Graeme Stinson, LHP, Duke - The thing I’ve tried to note with Stinson all along is despite his huge stuff, great frame for starting, and huge results last year, he really needed to prove himself as a starter this year. He hasn’t been great through five starts and his stuff is down thanks to lower velocity than what he showed out of the bullpen last season. I would say he’s 100% out of it for the Top 10 should he rebound in the next two months, but the fact he was recently moved out of the rotation is a bad sign for a guy who needed to prove himself capable of handling a starter workload.Moving Into the Top 10Bryson Stott, SS, UNLV - I have had Stinson just outside of my Top 10 for a while now. Stott is a shortstop who can really hit and is a more than capable fielder. He had some questions about the power heading into the year because he didn’t have the strongest end up his summer with USA Baseball last year, but he’s at five homers to go with a triple slash of .310/.477/.543.The Big RiserHunter Bishop, OF, Arizona State - Hunter Bishop was a solid second day candidate heading into the spring, but he has had a massive breakout to emerge as a potential Top 10 pick. I’m not fully bought in just yet but am coming around more and more on him. Bishop had .847 and .759 OPS marks in his first two seasons in Tempe with five homers apiece Whitey Herzog Jersey , but in just 26 games (roughly half the games of each of the past two years since the season is still ongoing) Bishop is only a few homers away from doubling his career homer total. He’s at 16 homers to go with a .424/.558/1.040 slash line. Yes that is a SLUGGING PERCENTAGE over 1.000, not just an OPS. He’s also stolen 10 bases in 13 attempts and while he’s not a burner, he’s able to use his instincts on the basepaths. I see Bishop at a right fielder with power, an improving hit tool, and some ability to use his legs.Moving Up within the First RoundJJ Bleday, OF, Vanderbilt - JJ Bleday was always a very good hitter with some untapped power potential. He was a first round pick heading into the year after a sophomore season where he hit .368/.494/.511 with four homers, but after hitting five homers in the Cape his power seems to have taken a step forward. This spring he’s at .355/.449/.709 with 11 homers. Bleday reminds me a lot of a Trevor Larnach from last year- a guy who was a very productive hitter and big time on base skills guy that saw his power take a jump in his junior season. Bleday is still a little lower than the Top 10 for me, but he’s at least putting himself into the conversation for the Top 10 thanks to his power, on base ability, strong right field defense, and pedigree at a top SEC school.
