DotF: Hebert throws rare minor league complete game shutout in Tampa’s win

RHP Rookie Davis ranked third on this week’s Prospect Hot Sheet. I didn’t include him in today’s Pre-Draft Top 30 Prospects but I should have. That’s a mistake. Davis is having a fantastic year with High-A Tampa and is really coming into his own (3.26 ERA and 1.86 FIP in 49.2 innings). Also, SS Jorge Mateo has hired Scott Boras, according to Jon Heyman. Nothing to worry about there. The Yankees aren’t poor.

Triple-A Scranton (10-2 win over Syracuse in eleven innings)

• 2B Rob Refsnyder: 2-5, 1 R, 2 RBI
• C Austin Romine: 1-6, 1 R, 1 RBI, 3 K
• CF-RF Ben Gamel: 3-5, 2 R, 1 2B, 1 HR, 1 RBI — threw a runner out at the plate … third homer of the year … his career high is four set back in 2013
• RF Tyler Austin: 1-3, 1 K — left the game with an injury in the eighth
• RHP Luis Severino: 7 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 1 K, 1 WP, 1 HB, 10/5 GB/FB — 56 of 94 pitches were strikes (60%)
• RHP Jose Ramirez: 1.2 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 2 K, 1 WP, 2/0 GB/FB — 28 of 46 pitches were strikes (61%) … very nice second start at Triple-A
• LHP Tyler Webb: 2.1 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 2 K, 1/2 GB/FB — 21 of 30 pitches were strikes (70%)

Double-A Trenton (4-3 win over Harrisburg)

• CF Jake Cave: 2-4, 1 R, 1 RBI, 1 K, 1 CS
• 3B Brendan Ryan: 1-3, 1 BB, 1 K — his rehab was moved to Trenton because the travel’s easier, that’s all
• DH Aaron Judge: 0-4, 2 K
• LF Mark Payton: 1-3, 1 K
• RHP Kyle Haynes: 4 IP, 5 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 2 K, 1 WP, 2/5 GB/FB — 38 of 63 pitches were strikes (61%) … he’s working extended outings now for some reason … he’s a two-pitch guy with shaky command, doesn’t exactly scream starter candidate

High-A Tampa (1-0 win over Clearwater)

• SS Abi Avelino: 0-4, 1 RBI, 1 K, 1 SC
• 2B Tyler Wade, 3B Miguel Andujar & 3B  Dante Bichette Jr.: all 0-3 — Wade walked, stole a base, and whiffed … Andujar struck out
• CF Michael O’Neill: 2-3, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 K, 1 SB — third straight two-hit game
• LHP Chaz Hebert: 9 IP, 5 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 4 K, 1 HB, 9/9 GB/FB — 73 of 97 pitches were strikes (75%) … the ultra-rare nine-inning shutout in High-A!
