NOTES


A pair of three run home runs was enough for Buffalo in their first game. Rafael Lantigua and Charles McAdoo hit them. McAdoo added two singles. He had 60% of Buffalo's five hits. Chad Dallas went three innings, he struck out six, giving up one run on three hits. Adam Macko threw two innings, three K's, one home run allowed. Yariel Rodriguez added a clean inning.


McAdoo hit another three run home run in the first inning of game two. But Grant Rogers gave up five runs in the first inning and that was all the scoring. Buffalo had three hits, Josh Kasevich had the other two.


The New Hampshire bats keep rolling, 12 hits on Friday. The Fisher Cats won in extra innings with the old walk off wild pitch. At the top of the order Eddie Micheletti and Jackson Hornung had two hits each, while Aaron Parker n the idle of the order had three.


Karson Ligon was scheduled to start for Dunedin but didn't make it to the official start. Jaxson West stayed hot with a single, double and walk. Aldo Gaxiola had two doubles, he is hitting just .158 and seems to run hot and cold. Dariel Ramon also had two hits.


The Vancouver game was a pitchers duel. Danny Thompson Jr. made his first start for the C's. He had made two relief appearances but threw 3 or 4 innings so he was being stretched out. On Friday he went four innings with eight strikeouts, one hit and one walk. for the season, in 11.1 innings, he has 19 K's, while giving up four hits and three walks. A very impressive start. It is even more impressive when you note that Thompson was an eight round pick but essentially a money saving pick, he signed for $5,000.


The C's had just five hits, Dub Gleed had two.

McAdoo is hitting .345/.419/.618. If he keeps this up, he's going to have to change his number to a positive integer.

Parker is hitting .256/.442/.462 (167 wRC+) with a 21.2% BB and 21.2% K rate. Great start for th 19-year-old in A ball. In January I wrote, "how close is JoJo Parker to Arjun Nimmala? You could make the case that Parker is the better prospect (because of his hit tool and overall skills/makeup), though of course he hasn’t proven anything as a professional yet."

Parker is starting to build a track record (so far only 52 PA, so a small sample size).

Sean Keys with a 1.437 OPS against righties so far.

NH is VERY friendly to lefty power hitters so while it's great to see, will definitely need to see bigger sample size and great road stats to get super excited.

4 of his 5 homers have come at home. Similar story for most of the Jays' AA left-handed hitters.

In my unprofessional armchair opinion, the Nimmala/Parker comp is close and you might judge that Nimmala's absolute ceiling is higher but his seeming difficulty in adjusting his approach might make it more likely parker reaches his. Of course, Parker hasn't faced that same challenge yet.

I have Parker ahead of Nimmala. Arjun a decent chance to stick at SS but Parker just seems like a significantly better hitter right now.

IF Dariel Ramon having a helluva start to full season ball at an age appropriate 20 for Dunedin.

hmm actually Ramon is actually playing CF tonight, and not for the first time. He's been at SS, CF, 2B, RF, LF already this year.

Hr Nimmala.

19 year old Aiden Taggart from Grimsby Ontario has been added to the Dunedin roster.

Toman is off to a great start.
Kelekin - Sunday, April 19 2026 @ 05:16 AM EDT (#476987) #
Toman's HR tonight was his first career HR against an LHP while batting from the left side.

Dariel Ramon just seems like a fun player. Between Pinto and Ramon, we will soon be renamed to the Dunedin Short Kings.

Peyton Williams moved up to Vancouver (corresponding move being Chirinos going on the DL).

Checking on the exes...Kendry Rojas is averaging 97.4 on his 4-seamer so far this year (only 6 IP at AAA as he was rehabbing). He's the one pitcher we gave up last year who I was very sad to see go.
