Josuar Gonzalez, @MLBPipeline's 15th ranked prospect hit his second HR of the season last night in a 6-0 win for the ACL Giants.
(🎥 below)
The big fly upped his triple slash line to .344/.454/.521 w/ a 16.8% walk rate and a 21.0% K rate, good for a 140 wRC+.
#SFGiants
The @SJGiants sent OF Jose Ortiz on a rehab assignment w/the ACL Giants today. In 190 previous professional ABs, he'd hit one home run.
He hit one in each of his first two ABs tonight, tripling his career total.
Remarkably similar landing spots.
TOTALS: 2/3, 2 HR, 2 R, 3 RBI
Here's Christian Koss homering in the first AB of his rehab (wrist) game in the Arizona Complex League. He finished 1-4. Through 5 rehab games (18 AB) with the ACL Giants, Koss is slashing .389/.421/.556 w/ 1 HR, 7 RBI, and 1 SB while walking once and striking out twice.
Playing SS for Scottsdale last night, Seaver King continued hitting the ball hard with three BBEs of 102+ mph.
He finished the game 3-5 with a 2B, HR, 4 R and 5 RBI.
Through 2 AFL games (9 AB)he's hitting .444/.500/.889 with 1 HR, 4 R, 6 RBI and a 2:3 BB:K ratio.
#NATITUDE
Pirates 1B/OF prospect Esmerlyn Valdez has played in two Arizona Fall League games. He's homered in both contests.
In the first game, he hit a 108 mph, 425-foot HR to center.
Last night, he hit one 114.4 mph and 414 feet to left. He walked in his next three PAs.
#LetsGoBucs
Arizona Fall League play got underway last night with the Scottsdale Scorpions hosting the Peoria Javelinas. The matchup featured Top-100 prospects Kevin McGonigle, Jonny Farmelo, and Cam Collier, but RF Hendry Mendez hit the first HR of the season, a solo shot in the 2nd inning.
After a leadoff walk and a pair of wild pitches in the bottom of the 9th, 1B Parks Harber stepped into the box with a runner on third base and one out. He smoked a 108.9 mph ground ball to SS Brandon Winokur, drawing to within one run, 4-3.
Bases empty. Two outs.

The #Mariners payroll in 2017 was $160 million.
With a very basic (and generous) average U.S. inflation rate of 2.6%, which is probably less than what it is in baseball, their adjusted payroll for 2025 should be $197 million.
The fact they're projecting 150-155 is insulting.

I thought this was a joke at first.
This would be TERRIBLE.
