On The Hill : 2 R, 3 H, 8 BB, 8 K’s
RH Reese Dutton - 4 IP, 0 R, 1 H, 2 BB, 3 K’s - 53 pitches - 31 strikes - excellent!
RH Jaydenn Estanista - 1 IP, 0 R, 0 H, 1 BB, 3 K’s - 27 pitches - 17 strikes
RH Luis Avila - 1 IP, 0 R, 0 H, 1 BB, 0 K’s - 15 pitches - 9 strikes
RH Adilson Peralta - 1 IP, 1 R, 1 H, 2 BB, 1 K - 19 pitches - 9 strikes
RH Jose Pena Jr - 1 perfect IP - 14 pitches - 8 strikes
RH Jake Eddington - 1 IP, 1 R, 1 H, 2 BB, 1 K - 26 pitches - 11 strikes
Notes :
Jaydenn Estanista showed a shorter arm swing and lower arm slot, he had previously thrown with a “long arm” release from behind his back and a higher angle - today the arm swing was a little beyond his body and arm slot/release was more three quarters - stuff was crisp (has always been a big arm guy) firing in the 95-96 range and breaking pitches had bite - he struck out the side - hopefully it’s an adjustment that allows more movement and ability to command the zone. I wondered why he stayed back in extended spring, this appears to be the answer - good stuff!
Defensive Gem :
Center fielder John Spikerman made a diving catch on a sinking ball in left center field to end the seventh inning.
