Notes

The Fisher Cats had to wait out an 80-minute rain delay before getting this one in the books. Victor Arias had two knocks in the leadoff spot. Jackson Hornung had an RBI double and a sacrifice fly. Dasan Brown doubled and Robert Brooks had a base hit and a base on balls. Bobby Milacki gave up just two hits over four shutout frames. Hunter Gregory was nicked for a run on three hits with two Ks over two innings. Johan Símon got the win by working around a hit and a walk and punching out four batters for the win. Nate Garkow struck out two batters to finish a scoreless ninth, lowering his earned run average to 1.29.

The Canadians strung together five two-out hits in the fourth inning to score three runs with Arjun Nimmala starting the rally with a double that was just fair down the left field line. Carter Cunningham followed with an RBI single, Alexis Hernández had a run-scoring double and Tucker Toman drove in a run with a single. A Toman sacrifice fly and an Edward Duran infield single brought in the other runs in the sixth. Duran had two hits and Toman was hit by a pitch. Toman has been plunked once in his first three games with Monty’s Mounties. Gage Stanifer gave up a single on the first pitch of the game but that was the only hit Tri-City would get. He surrendered two walks and struck out eight over six shutout stanzas. Aaron Munson walked a batter and punched out two over two shutout innings and Julio Ortiz walked one but struck out the side to end it.

Jake Casey belted his first two professional home runs and singled for a three-RBI night.Maddox Latta doubled twice to also record a three-hit night to give Dunedin six hits in the top two spots of the order. Kendry Chirinos was on base three times via the walk. Yeuni Munoz had a two-run double. Mason Olson yielded two runs on eight hits and one walk and struck out three over five innings for the win. Eminem Flores scattered a hit and a walk and struck out two over three innings for the hold. Jay Schueler worked a uneventful ninth.

In the Dominican, the Blue squad held a 1-0 lead before giving up 11 straight runs. They were no-hit until the seventh when Daniel Dominguez delivered a two-run triple for the Blue team’s only knock. Cristopher Polanco and Angel Guzman heard ball four twice. Rodrigo Ramirez was roughed up for three runs in the first and took the loss.

The Red squad was led by Juan Sánchez who homered, singled, walked and drove in three runs. Pascual Archila doubled and singled and Luis Felipe had two knocks and a stolen base. Elaineiker Coronado had a double. Roberto Castellanos pitched two-hit ball and struck out six over five shutout innings for the win. Carlos Almonte put up two goose eggs with just one hit allowed and rung up three batters.

Purely performance-wise (considering age and level), Stanifer's been as good as any pitcher in the jays system other than imo the top-3 of King/Yesavage/Rojas.

I'd have him on the same performance tier as Stephen and Perez this year, and probably at the top of that tier.

With Hechavarria and JWB probably one tier below.

Tier 1: King/Yesavage/Rojas
Tier 2: Stanifer/Perez/Stephen
Tier 3: Hechavarria/JWB/ probably another name or two i'm missing

18. Juan Caricote, C, Venezuela
Born: Nov. 5, 2008. B-T: L-R. Ht.: 6-1. Wt.: 185.
Team: Blue Jays

Caricote has a good balance of skills in the batter’s box and behind the plate. He projects to stick at catcher, where he’s an advanced receiver comfortable handling high-end velocity. He’s athletic and agile, helping him block balls in the dirt. It’s not elite raw arm strength, but he projects to have at least an average arm once he’s physically mature. Caricote has a lean build for a catcher with a loose, fluid swing from the left side and the strength projection to grow into a 15-plus home run hitter.

Good list from Kiley. Bit surprised by Pinango over Arias, but that's a minor quibble.

I would rather have Sanchez and Stanifer over Bloss at this point.

Juan Sanchez went 2-for-3 with a home run, three RBI, and a walk in the DSL Blue Jays Red season finale yesterday.

The 17-year-old infielder finished the year with a 1.004 OPS, becoming the first DSL Blue Jays player to record an OPS above 1.000 in the stat-tracking era

SS Juan Sanchez was one of the prospects profiled in BA's Aug 20 article "7 Dominican Summer League Prospects With Impressive 2025 Hitting Data." The author, Geoff Pontes, provides some stats for Sanchez:

Swing% 45.00%
Z-Whiff% 10.40%
Miss% 22.10%
Chase% 26.40%
90%EV 100.5
HardHit% 34.50%
xWOBA 0.357

Pontes notes Sanchez's stellar DSL slash line and says (among other comments) that he "shows advanced hitting ability with excellent quality of contact."
