This week’s minor league roundup will solely function the numbers collected previous to the beginning of play on Monday.
This was the eigth week of minor league play.
In line with FanGraphs (which elements in age and proximity to the massive leagues), the general high hitter within the Rays farm system is 23-year previous Mac Horvath. Baltimore chosen Horvath within the 2nd spherical of the 2023 draft and despatched him to the Rays within the Zach Eflin deal. He has been scorching recently and is at the moment hitting .264/.364/.537 with 9 HR and eight SB over 34 video games, registering a 148 wRC+.
In the meantime, the highest pitcher continues to be Ian Seymour, regardless of enduring the worst begin of his season his final trip. Seymoure allowed 4 runs on seven hits over 3 2⁄3 IP; each his shortest outing of the 12 months and essentially the most runs he has yielded. Regardless, he has nonetheless been the highest pitcher within the Rays system; his full season numbers are listed additional under.
Earlier than we get to the statistical breakdowns. Right here is a few information or somethings I’ve seen from across the Rays system.
Brailer Guerrero has all of the instruments however the Rays outfielder has battled accidents in his quick skilled profession. Hopefully he’s actualizing his potential in 2025. Guerrero has two house runs and 6 stolen bases in 71 plate appearances. Probably the most spectacular numbers, nevertheless, are present in his high quality of contact, as he’s hit a ball 111 mph and one other at 115 mph this 12 months. These are extraordinarily spectacular figures for an 18-year-old.
He struck out 12 batters in a six-inning begin this previous week. He has a mid-to-upper-90s fastball with large extension, a mid-80s slider that generates whiffs and a stable changeup that has practically 10 inches of vertical and velocity separation. He looks like one other pitching success story within the Rays system.
