NOTES

Michael Stefanic hit a pair of two run home runs. Riley Tirotta had two hits and drove in two runs. Josh Rivera also had two hits.

CJ Van Eyk cruised through three innings, but then the hammer dropped in the fourth. Worcester hit three home runs, four runs in all.

In NH Devereaux Harrison was wild, he walked five in 4.1 innings. Somerset scored two off him but then they scored six off Alex Amalfi.

Peyton Williams hit his seventh home run. Other than that the Cats were limited to four other hits.

Four Dunedin pitchers combined on a shutout. The starter was Kendry Rojas, he dominated, one hit and four K's over four innings. Hayden Juenger also threw an inning. Both of them should be out of Florida by next week.

Jean Joseph, Kendry Chirinos and Sam Shaw all homered. Shaw's homer was a long one. Edward Duran had three hits, Bryce Arnold two.

The FCL Jays scored eleven runs with seven hits. They enjoyed 12 free passes and three HBP's. Yorman Licourt hit his fourth home run of the season. He also walked three times. Raimundo De Los Santos went 3-4 with a walk. We were watching Enmanuel Bonilla at the end of May when he had a nine game hit streak. More recently he has five singles in his last ten games and his BA is down to .172.

From BA
Baseball America’s Geoff Pontes wrote up Blue Jays righty Gage Stanifer here. This part stuck out:

“He’s sitting mid 90s on a four-seam fastball that generates up to 20 inches of induced vertical break regularly. His go-to secondary is a mid-80s breaking ball he calls a slider with slurvy shape and good depth for its velocity. He’ll also show a changeup, but it’s used less often than his slider by a wide margin.”

RoboScout doesn’t have much more to add, except the following: “Bleep, bloop. Stanifer looks like a midrotation starter who might reach the majors in the second half of 2026.”

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, Blue Jays lefty Johnny King continues to widen the gap between him and the rest of the Complex League arms. Although it’s primarily a two-pitch arsenal right now, his 95 mph fastball with huge armside run from a low slot and his low-80s curveball with two-plane break are proving far too much for short-season hitters. He should be in Low-A Dunedin before long.
