Prospect Watch: Tyler Glasnow Continues Putting Up Video Game Numbers

Published:

TOP OF THE SYSTEM

A look at how the current top 20 prospects did today.  Note that this list doesn’t include players currently in the majors. If a player is in the majors, he will be removed, everyone below him will be shifted up a spot, and a new player will be added to the bottom of the list. If a player is out for the season (Jameson Taillon #1, Clay Holmes #12), he will be removed and everyone below him will move up a spot. Removing these guys doesn’t mean they have lost prospect status. It is just an attempt to get 20 active prospects on the list. Rankings are from the mid-season top 20 update, and links on each name go to their Pirates Prospects player pages.

AAA: INDIANAPOLIS INDIANS    

Box Score

Result: Indianapolis 3, Toledo 1

Starting Pitcher: Nick Kingham, RHP – 7.0 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 4 BB, 6 K, 1 HR

Top Hitter: Matt Hague, 1B – 2-for-3, 2B, BB

Other Notable Performers:

Andrew Lambo, LF – 1-for-4

Game Notes: Nick Kingham had a great start to his Triple-A career, before struggling in his recent outings. The right-hander gave up 17 earned runs in 23.1 innings over his previous four starts coming into tonight. This time around he did a much better job, limiting Toledo to one run in seven innings. This is the same team that scored four runs in six innings off him in the last start. Kingham did walk four batters, making this the second time in his last four games where he has walked four or more. Kingham doesn’t usually have control issues, but did have some problems earlier in the year. He turned things around, and has walked two or fewer batters in 13 of his last 15 starts.

 

AA: ALTOONA CURVE

Box Score

Result: Altoona 3, Trenton 2

Starting Pitcher: Zack Dodson, LHP – 6.0 IP, 6 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 4 K, 1 HR

Top Hitter: Alen Hanson, 2B – 2-for-4, 2B, SB

Other Notable Performers:

Keon Broxton, CF – 2-for-4, 2B

Josh Bell, DH – 1-for-3, BB

Joely Rodriguez, LHP – 1.0 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 1 K, 0 HR

Game Notes: Alen Hanson went 2-for-4, extending his hitting streak to 11 games. He hit his 21st double of the year, and also stole his 22nd base. However, Hanson committed his 33rd error of the year, including his fourth error since moving over to second base. Josh Bell extended his hitting streak to six games. He has a hit in his last eight starts.

 

A+: BRADENTON MARAUDERS   

Box Score

Result: Bradenton 6, Jupiter 1

Starting Pitcher: Tyler Glasnow, RHP – 6.1 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 3 BB, 10 K, 0 HR

Top Hitter: Max Moroff, 2B – 3-for-4, BB

Other Notable Performers:

Jose Osuna, DH – 2-for-3, 2B

Eric Wood, 3B – 2-for-4, BB

Game Notes: For the second straight start, Tyler Glasnow recorded double-digit strikeouts. This was also the fourth time in his last seven starts that he had double-digit strikeouts. In that span, he has an 0.65 ERA in 41.1 innings, with a 60:17 K/BB ratio. As if that wasn’t amazing enough, tonight was the first time in Glasnow’s last four starts that an opponent recorded a hit off of him in the first trip through the batting order. A.J. Morris made his first appearance in Bradenton as he makes his way back from rehab work. Morris made four appearances in the GCL, with two single inning appearances, followed by two innings, then three innings. At first it looked like he would be pitching in relief. Then it looked like he was getting stretched out. With one inning tonight, it looks again like he could be going back to working in relief.

Game Notes: Mitch Keller now has a 1.40 ERA in 19.1 innings over seven appearances, with a 20:6 K/BB ratio. Today was his second outing throwing more than three innings, and the first outing where he went four full innings. We wrote about Keller’s start earlier tonight. The GCL offense struggled, with Carlos Munoz having the only hit.

 

RK: DSL PIRATES

Box Score

Result: Pirates 8, Phillies 4

Starting Pitcher: Yeudy Garcia, RHP – 4.0 IP, 5 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 4 BB, 1 K, 0 HR

Top Hitter: Yunelky Adames, 1B – 1-for-2, HR, BB, SB

Other Notable Performers:

Sandy Santos, CF – 2-for-4, BB

Edison Lantigua, LF – 2-for-3, 2 2B

Game Notes: The Pirates won 8-4 over the Phillies to move to .500 on the season with ten games left. They got the victory despite some poor pitching by All-Star righty Yeudy Garcia, who allowed three earned runs for just the third time in 12 starts. He has a 2.38 ERA this year in 56.2 innings. His one strikeout was the lowest total in his career. Reliever Lullyi Miranda threw three perfect innings after Garcia left the game. Left fielder Edison Lantigua played the field for the first time in 12 days. He returned to the lineup as a DH on Monday for the first time since becoming ill during a game two weeks ago. That illness led to dehydration, which kept him out of action all of last week. Lantigua picked up two doubles and drove in two runs. Raul Siri picked up his 21st double of the season. Jeremias Portorreal continued to struggle, going 0-for-4, leaving him 5-for-41 in his last ten games. – John Dreker
