Arizona Fall League Update: Roansy Contreras Starts, Pitches One Inning In Peoria Loss

 The Peoria Javelinas were unable to build upon their biggest offensive output on the season, dropping their game to the Surprise Saguaros on Wednesday by the score of 5-1.

Nick Gonzales was the only hitter of the Pittsburgh Pirates' prospects position players to play today, batting second and playing second base again. He went 1 for 2 with a walk on the day, the hit being a single.

Roansy Contreras started, but only pitched a single inning that he struggled to get through. He threw 35 pitches in that lone inning, only 18 of which went for strikes. He gave up a two-run home run, which accounted for the runs he allowed, walking one and striking out one.

Former 11th round pick Michael Burrows didn't have the best of outings either, allowing three runs in 2 2/3 innings. He allowed five hits and a walk but struck out three batters.

Bear Bellomy and Carmen Mlodzinski also pitched in relief for the Javelinas, throwing scoreless innings. Bellomy threw 2 1/3 innings of no-hit ball, walking one and striking out another. Mlodzinski threw a perfect ninth inning, only needing 10 pitches to retire the side.

A Hero Emerges in Greensboro

Image
     Photo Credit: MiLb.com      The amount of support that I received with my new site has been overwhelmingly humbling, and I want you to know that your support hasn't gone unnoticed. I've also seen the comments and know what you guys want regarding my next subject. My next subject has been a man on a mission so far in 2021. This young man is a 23-year-old outfielder for the stacked Greensboro Grasshoppers team, and he has emerged as a guy everyone has been talking about.  If you haven't figured out who I'm talking about, the young man I'm speaking of is Matt Fraizer. Fraizer has come out of nowhere like my previous subject in JC Flowers and Jase Bowen. Fraizer is another prospect drafted in the 2019 draft, and if we're fair, this draft will be the legacy of Neil Huntington. I know people will remember him for the Archer trade, but the 2019 draft looks to be a good class, and I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.   Frazier in 2019, if you ask him, he

Pittsburgh Pirates: A Potential Hidden Gem in the FCL

Image
  Photo Credit: Pirates Prospects dot com      The Pittsburgh Pirates system, for once in a long time, actually has some depth, top prospects, and a sense of hope for the once bleak looking future. You have names like Mason Martin, Canaan Smith-Njigba, Cal Mitchell, Roansy Contreras, Quinn Priester, Tahnaj Thomas; I mean, I could go on and on for the promising names the Pirates have. With the FCL now beginning play, we are starting to hear a few names pop up that we should watch. I'm here to fill you in on one name in particular.       I don't know what it is about extremely late round draft picks that get me going; maybe it's that I see the human in them, I see a kid who no one wanted to take a chance on; I see an underdog, I see the raw and gritty story that we all crave and want to see succeed. No name fills this role like Jake Sweeney, a 6'7 240 LB behemoth of a left handed pitcher.       Mr. Sweeney is a 21-year-old prospect from Indiana who was drafted in the 36th

The Taiwanese Terror: Po-Yu Chen

  Photo Credit: Focus Taiwan dot tw In the fall of 2020, the Pittsburgh Pirates were coming off a rather dismal season where they went just 19-41. These were the good ole times of people clamoring for Kumar, and the #TankForKumar train was at full capacity! (Ahhhh, the good ole days.) Fast forward to October 7th of 2020; GM Ben Cherington had found one of the best international signings of the year in Taiwanese youngster Po-Yu Chen. Chen's 1.25 million signing bonus marked one of the highest amateur international signings ever. A lot of people might ask how in the world did the Pirates find this kid?! Well, Chen's portfolio of work is already an impressive one, with being a main cog in the 2019 U-18 World Championship Chinese Taipei team. He started two games that year and faced Panama and Korea. He also pitched in the gold medal game, where they beat the U.S. It wasn't just the national games where they found him; the Pirate's very own Fu-Chun Chiang (Pirates scout
