DePaula is Heatin’ Up-Dodgers Down on the Farm

The Dodgers lost every game in their system last night, so yesterday was just one of those days.

AAA OKC

The OKC Baseball Club got blanked on just 6 hits, was 1-10 with Runners in Scoring position and had just 1 extra base hits. But, as always, there were some highlights.

Andre Lipcius had 2 hits for AAA OKC, which is his 6th multi hit game this month & 10th game that he’s had at least 1 hit in May. He’s hitting .354 so far this month & is hitting .320 for the season, OPS .979. This dude can hit & he plays everywhere, stay tuned!

Click to watch Dodson

Tanner Dodson is a Roller Coaster ride, but his stuff is big & it allows him margin for error. For instance, 2 Seam was 94, but had an Avg. of over 2300 on spin & 4 Seam averaged over 2400, so perceived velocity to hitter is explosive. 1.50 ERA, Average Against of .197.

AA Tulsa

The Tulsa Drillers feature the Dodgers #1 prospect in Dalton Rushing, but, point blank, they have been struggling. In fact, they are now just 13-21 on the season, have lost 3 in a row & have lost 10 of the 13 games this month. 

But, there is talent and some great action to cover!

Brendon Davis destroyed HR #3! He’s been in Professional baseball since 2015, so it’s easy to forget that he’s still just 26, and still has very good talent. .256 on the year, .279 this month. He’s played 2B, 3B, LF & RF, so very versatile.
