Scranton (34-23) (Lost to Toledo, 7-2)



2B Brandon Lockridge: 2-for-2, 3B (2), RS, SB (21)

.276/.404/.371. He had a strong May (.354/.475/.458) and is trying to build off that. However…

PR-2B Kevin Smith: 1-for-2

After the stolen base, Lockridge left the game due to injury.

3B Jorbit Vivas: 1-for-3, SF, RBI, K

SS Oswald Peraza: 0-for-3, BB, 2 K

Hudson Valley (24-24) (Lost to Aberdeen, 7-3)



SS Jared Serna: 1-for-4, SB (7), RS, BB, K

He is hitting .246 with a .833 OPS (14.3% BB, 18.4% K, 7-for-12 SB).

Flores, hitting .296 with a .863 OPS, is on an 8-game hitting streak (multiple hits in 3 of his last 4 games)

DH Tyler Hardman: 1-for-4, 2B (1), BB, 2 K

Hardman is 7-for-34 at this level. The double was his first extra-base hit (he hit 26 HR in 77 games for Somerset in 2023). It is possible (probable) that his stroke isn’t back yet.

C Omar Martinez: 0-for-4, BB, K

Martinez is hitting .237 with a .809 OPS.

RF Garrett Martin: 0-for-4, HBP, K

3B Josh Moylan: 1-for-4, K

SS Roderick Arias: 1-for-4, CS (7), 2 K

.207/.317/.319 in 221 PA (12.7% BB, 34.8% K, 13-for-20 SB). His struggles against left-handed pitching is known (7-for-41 with one walk and 19 strikeouts)

1B Dylan Jasso: 0-for-3, BB, 2 K

4.87 ERA (40.2 IP, 33 H, 22 R, 22 ER, 2 HR, 13 BB, 46 K). Serna’s highest inning total is 41.1 (2022).

RHP Aaron Nixon: (L, 1-1) 1.1 IP, 2 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 0 BB, 0 K

RHP Ocean Gabonia: 1.2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K

RHP Steven Fulgencio: 0.1 IP, 4 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 1 BB, 0 K

ESM: The Yankees got a historic month of May from Aaron Judge, and the Hudson Valley Renegades got a historic month of May from Jared Serna. This week alone he picked up three home runs and 12 RBIs, and his wRC+ on the season is up to 135 with a .363 OBP and 10 home runs on the year. He’s tied with E.J. Exposito (10) for the most home runs in the South Atlantic League with the second-most RBIs (40) as well.

In May alone, he hit 8 home runs and drove in 29 RBIs, the second-most RBIs for a Hudson Valley Renegade in a single month in their franchise’s history. With a 169 wRC+ and .583 SLG% as well in the week, the Yankees have a rising prospect here with Jared Serna. He isn’t the only prospect in Hudson Valley who is on a heater, with Rafael Flores hitting .381 with a 1.017 OPS since returning from the IL. This week he hit .410 with a 1.048 OPS, and the 23-year-old catcher could be due for a promotion soon.

ESM: Caleb Durbin, Everson Pereira, and Clayton Beeter are all on the IL for the Rail Riders.

2024 Yankees Prospects: Week 9 minor league review

Record: 34-23, .5 GB in the International League East after going 2-4 against the Toledo Mud Hens (Tigers)

Run differential: +24

Coming up: Home for six games against the Norfolk Tides (Orioles) starting Tuesday, June 4th

The RailRiders have come back to earth after a sizzling first couple weeks of May that included a six-game series sweep against Jacksonville (Marlins) and another series win versus Rochester (Nationals). Things then got dicey against an uninspiring Worcester (Red Sox) club, then they lost another series to Syracuse (Mets). Scranton followed up those series with another underwhelming one against an above-average Toledo (Tigers) squad. Four of the six games in this series were decided by five runs or more, highlighting how most games weren’t competitive (Scranton won two of them). The offense was the largest culprit for the disappointing week, scoring only 24 runs in Toledo’s offensive haven.

Brandon Lockridge led the way for the offense, as the speedy outfielder hit .438/.550/.563 over 20 plate appearances. He’s still not hitting for power, but he doesn’t need to with his skillset. He’s a speed demon with passive-swing decisions, meaning he’ll take his fair share of walks but will also watch pitches go by for strikes. I have him graded as a bench outfielder who is an ideal 26th man given his speed and outfield defense. This is in no way a slight towards Lockridge, but if he’s the highest OPS’er in a given week, your offense didn’t do its job.

Carlos Narvaez and Kevin Smith also had good weeks, with Narvaez looking especially impressive. The catcher is hitting the ball harder this year than in years past at the expense of contact. I think it’s a worthwhile tradeoff, similar to how Kyle Higashioka became a useful backup catcher thanks to good defense and a unique power-over-hit offensive profile.

Yoendrys Gómez looks better each time he goes out. Gómez has always intrigued me as a prospect, but he’s never been consistently healthy enough to show us what he’s capable of. This seems to be the first fully healthy year for Gómez in a while, as his rising fastball excels up in the zone despite middling velocity. I am super impressed with his sweeper, which he utilizes less than he should. Before this season, he only leveraged a gyro slider, but it’s never produced swings-and-misses at the clip his sweeper has. I hope Gómez ditches the gyro in favor of the sweeper, though mixing in the gyro to keep hitters off-balance isn’t the worst idea. I’ll be closely monitoring his upcoming starts.

As a smaller side note, Matt Sauer made his return to the Yankees organization after being returned by the Royals earlier in the week. Sauer was Rule 5-eligible in the offseason and the Royals pounced, enlisting him as a long reliever. His underwhelming start, combined with the Royals’ surprising start to the season, meant his roster spot needed to go to a more seasoned relief arm. Sauer has a nasty breaking ball, but he struggled to locate much of anything in his abbreviated cup of coffee. Let’s see if he can hone in the command as he returns.

Double-A Somerset Patriots
Record: 25-26, 3 GB in the Eastern League Northeast after going 3-3 against the Bowie Baysox (Orioles)

Run differential: -6

Coming up: Home for six games against the Hartford Yard Goats (Rockies) starting Tuesday, June 4th

This was a so-so week for the Patriots, which essentially sums up their season. They were middle of the pack in both runs scored and allowed over their six games against the Baysox, who are also a so-so club. Zach Messinger continues to not be so-so, however, as the tall right-hander delivered 5.1 masterful innings on Wednesday, striking out 10 while allowing just one run on six hits and two walks. Messinger has been white hot of late, accruing a sterling 2.20 ERA over his last six starts.

Blane Abeyta and Bailey Dees both had outings featuring good topline numbers, but there weren’t too many takeaways from either pitcher. Trystan Vrieling is showing worsened command of his secondaries and it’s impeding his ability to mow down hitters like he was for the first month of the season. Hitters have also adjusted, as part of Vrieling’s early successes could’ve been fueled by the fact that very few hitters outside the organization saw him pitch before this season. I still believe Vrieling’s jumped from where I had him in the preseason, but perhaps I got a bit carried away.

Perhaps the largest storyline from the farm last week, however, was the emphatic return of Jasson Domínguez in the upper minors. Jasson looks healthy and is now playing in the field (I misspoke in a previous article on that front, my apologies), using his speed to track down balls that he doesn’t read well off the bat. The bat speed and strength look to be there, and we know from other position players who’ve had the same injury that torn UCLs rarely have similar lingering effects as they do for pitchers. He looks to be at or near 100 percent, and his 375/.412./.938 slash line from last week lends credence to that idea.

Spencer Jones and Ben Rice had big weeks as well, though Agustin was quiet. Even with Agustin struggling last week, this lineup with Jasson is a scout’s dream. Pro tip: if you live in the Somerset area, do yourself a favor this week and go watch this lineup (hopefully) erupt against Hartford’s sub-par pitching staff. Specifically, go to tonight’s game when Gerrit Cole takes the mound for his first rehab start.

High-A Hudson Valley Renegades
Record: 24-24, 4 GB in the South Atlantic League League North after going 3-3 against the Aberdeen Ironbirds (Orioles)

Run differential: +25

Coming up: Away for six games against the Wilmington Blue Rocks (Nationals) starting Tuesday, June 4th

Despite doubling the run output of the Ironbirds (34-17), the Renegades only managed a series split against their Orioles counterparts. Most of the Renegades’ damage was done in games two, three, and four, where they outscored Aberdeen by at least six runs in each matchup. The Renegades’ 3.20 team ERA was the second-best mark in the South Atlantic League last week, while the offense’s 34 runs were good for third in that same span.

Not that this will surprise you, but Jared Serna was doing Jared Serna things yet again last week. The rising prospect soared to a .333/.423/.762 slash line with three dingers and 12 RBI. So long as he doesn’t crash and burn by the All-Star break, Serna will crack my top-10 midseason prospect update.

Jace Avina continues to dominate, as does Omar Martinez. Rafael Flores and Roc Riggio also had very good weeks. Frankly, most of their starting lineup got the job done last week, with seven regulars generating OPS’ above .780. The lineup continues to drive this team’s success, and whether they make it to the playoffs in a few months will hinder on that. Whether Serna and several others are still in Hudson Valley come that time is an open question, though.

The Renegades didn’t receive a particularly strong effort from their starters last week, though their bullpen continues to shine via a 3.02 combined ERA. Cam Schlittler had his second alright start in four attempts, allowing four runs (three earned) over five innings — he also walked three and struck out six. Sebastian Keane had a solid performance, but he hasn’t been generating whiffs on his secondaries like he was in April/early May. Ben Shields had a quality outing, going six innings and surrendering three runs on five hits, no walks, and five strikeouts. I’d like to see him maintain his spot in the rotation even as guys like Brian Hendry potentially return from injury.

Low-A Tampa Tarpons
Record: 19-32, 15 GB in the Florida State League West after going 1-5 against the Palm Beach Cardinals

Run differential: -40

Coming up: Home for six games against the Fort Myers Mighty Mussels (Twins) starting Tuesday, June 4th

By now, you’re likely aware that Tampa isn’t a very good team. Palm Beach, meanwhile, sits atop their division in the FSL and has been a quality club by FSL standards all season long. Unfortunately, the series outcome was predictable. Tampa’s pitching woes continued yet again, as the team owns the second-worst ERA on the season and proceeded to generate a league-worst 5.19 ERA last week. The two guys whom the team has relied on for quality outings — Luis Serna and Cade Smith — struggled to locate their secondaries and were behind in counts.

Serna’s command is especially problematic since everything aside from his cambio leaves a lot to be desired. Smith, meanwhile, can survive without his slider because his fastball and curve produce plenty of whiffs. Gabriel Barbosa continues to impress me with his kitchen sink arsenal and bulldog mentality on the mound. He doesn’t throw hard and doesn’t have big bite on his pitches, but he knows how to sequence and seems to locate his pitches according to the holes in a hitter’s swing. When he’s not locating, though, he gets hit the hardest of any of the three pitchers mentioned.

Zero: that’s the number of home runs Tampa’s offense generated against Palm Beach. The Tarpons’ bats went MIA, scoring just 22 runs across their six games. Roderick Arias had a rough week, striking out in almost half his plate appearances and slugging to the tune of a .399 OPS. The only regular who posted any line worth writing about is Brenny Escanio, who generated some gap-to-gap pop last week but hasn’t translated his evident work in the gym to on-field production. His exit velocity markers, rather, are down across the board compared to last season.

Florida Complex League Yankees
Record: 12-10, 2 GB in the Florida Complex League North after going 2-3 last week

Run differential: -13

The complex league Yankees have edged out a winning record despite a negative run differential on the heels of some close games they’ve won of late. The offense has had to do heavy lifting out the gates, as the pitching staff is struggling to the tune of a 5.16 team ERA through 22 games. The biggest notes are the respective rehab assignments of Enmanuel Tejeda and outfielder Christopher Familia, who cracked my offseason ranking of Yankees prospects thanks to his aggressive but good swing decisions, strong contact rates, and intriguing batted ball data. Familia is a beefy boy who hasn’t played this year after sustaining an injury in the spring. When he’s back, I expect him to land with Hudson Valley and add yet another potent bat to their lineup. He’s stiff and a pretty bad defender, so the bat has to lead the way for his profile to make it to the bigs: I think that can happen.

Abrahan Ramirez is having an awesome start to his complex season, highlighting wicked good bat speed from the left side. His swing is too flat to create home run power, though, and he’s pushing too many balls that he should be pulling. If he can lift a bit more, I’d be curious to see if it creates more whiff than is already present. Regardless, there’s a big ‘ole up arrow next to his name.

Unfortunately, I’m pumping the brakes on Brando Mayea after noticing some holes in his swing that I hadn’t observed prior. Yes, he has a shiny 111 wRC+ while playing excellent defense in center, but he’s whiffing too much for a guy who doesn’t have a swing geared for power. Ideally, you hope these gap power types have lower whiff rates than home run-hitting players because their often-flatter swings mean their barrel stays in the zone longer. Unfortunately, Mayea looks to be guessing at what pitches are coming and often takes off-balance cuts. He’s so physically gifted that he often survives such mental lapses, but that will not remain the case as he climbs the ladder. I wonder if he should sit fastball and try making adjustments on anything thrown slower (I have no idea if he’s already doing that or not, it’s just an educated guess on my part) because when he’s balanced, I still like his swing.

On the pitching front, I’ve been impressed with what I’ve seen from 2023 14th-round selection Danny Flatt, who threw another 4.2 shutout innings yesterday as this roundup was being written. He was in the low 90s upon his drafting as a prep pitcher from Kentucky, but he’s added a few ticks to complement his high-spin curve and sliders. I’m not concluding anything until I do a deep dive, but tickle me intrigued in the meantime.

Prospect of the Week: Jasson Domínguez
Domínguez is putting to bed any concerns about rustiness upon his return from a months-long absence. He’s been more aggressive in the zone without expanding too much, and he’s making more contact while still hitting the ball hard. It all looks very promising over a small sample size, but y’all have reason to be encouraged by what you’ve seen so far.

It’s good to see Tyler Hardman is back. I don’t know if we’ll ever see him in NY because of his glove, but there’s always a market for good bats, and he seems to have one…
