Arizona Fall League Update: Bellomy, Mlodzinski Pitch Clean Innings Out Bullpen

 Five pitchers combined to pitch a shutout for the Peoria Javelinas, winning their game against the Scottsdale Scorpions 4-0.

Nick Gonzales stayed hot, collecting two more hits, as well as scoring a run as a part of his 2 for 5 day. The former first round pick is now batting .382 on the fall for the Javelinas. At the time of this posting, Gonzales ranks third in the Arizona Fall League when it comes to hits.

Ji-Hwan Bae, who along with Gonzales, was named to AFL Fall Stars but had made his worst day at the plate since getting to Arizona. The Pirates' prospect went 0 for 5, striking out each time he came to the plate. That dropped his average down to .250 on the fall.

Bear Bellomy and Carmen Mlodzinski pitched in relief for the Javelinas, both pitching an inning a piece. Bellomy allowed a hit while striking out a batter, with eight of his 12 pitches going for strikes.

It had been a rough start to the AFL for Mlodzinski, but he struck out two in his inning of relief, with nine of his 14 pitches going for strikes.

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
