Dodgers Daily: Wednesday 8-31-22

James Outman hit for the Cycle again, Jason Martin keeps hitting home runs, Kendall Williams had a great start and the Quakes couldn’t quite pull one out. There was a lot of great action down on the farm and we’ve got it covered.

AAA OKC Dodgers

James Outman went crazy, Jason Martin hit a Grand Slam, OKC scored a bunch and took down the Round Rock Express, the AAA affiliates of the Rangers, 17-8 Tuesday Night.

Watch Outman hit for the cycle

James Outman hit for his 2nd cycle in the last week. He is 13 for his last 17 w/ 3 home runs, 3 triples, 4 doubles, 12 RBIs, & 32 total bases. He’s hitting .486 this month with an OPS of 1.787. His slugging % alone is 1.229. If you’re not sold, that makes 1 of you!

Watch Martin hit a Grand Slam

Jason Martin hit a grand slam which was his 29th home run of the year and leads all minor leaguers in the Dodgers system. He also leads the PCL in home runs, is 3rd in the league in OPS (.953), 3rd in slug (.575), & leads the league in total bases with 235.

Watch Ochsenbein Deal

Aaron Ochsenbein looked great in his 1 scoreless inning and recorded a strike out and no hits and no walks. It didn’t land in this video, but check out the movement of his split-finger pitch. It’s one of the big reasons why he is so unique.

Watch Treinen in Action

Here’s a look at some of Blake Treinen’s outing for OKC. He was 94-95 on the sinker 82-84 on the slider, and 94 on the 4 seam. He recorded strikeouts for all 3 of his outs and gave up a run and a couple of hits.

Watch Mann get 3 hits

Devin Mann had a 3 hit night for OKC and also had a couple ribeye steaks and extended his hit streak to 6 games. He is hitting .267 on the year with an OPS of .846.

AA Tulsa Drillers

Tulsa hung a 5 spot on NW Arkansas, the AA affiliates of the Royals, and got a much needed win 7-3 last night at beautiful OneOk field in front of 3826 fans.

Watch Nastrini Deal

Here’s a good look at the 2nd inning of Nick Nastrini. Got to talk to Cole Percival before the game and have the chance to talk to Nastrini afterward. Great Day!

Watch Hoese hit home run #6

Kody Hoese hit home run #6 and here’s a look at the entire at-bat from behind home plate.

 

Watch Valera hit home run #14

Leonel Valera hit home run #14 and here is a look at his entire at-bat from behind home plate. Valera is hitting .279 with an OPS of .809 since being promoted to AA Tulsa.

Watch Robertson Pitch

Nick Robertson threw a scoreless 1.2 innings for the Drillers which was his 5th scoreless outing in a row. He has 11 strikeouts this month to just 2 walks.

Watch Varland Deal

Gus Varland had another great outing striking out 2 in his scoreless inning. Varland has gone scoreless in 6 of his last 8 outings and his ERA his month is just 2.08.

High A Great Lakes

 

The Loons only had 4 hits and scored just one time and lost to the Lake County Captains, the High A affiliates of the Cleveland Guardians, 8-1 Tuesday night at Dow Diamond in front of 2434 fans.

Watch Williams have a Great Outing

Kendall Williams took the loss on the mound last night, but it wasn’t because of his doing as he had a great outing going 6 innings and having 7 Ks and giving up just 1 run.

Watch Cartaya get a hit

Diego Cartaya had 1 of the 4 hits for the Loons. He is hitting .268 with an OPS of .911 on the year. Congrats to Cartaya for being named the 2022 Branch Rickey Minor League player of the year.

Watch Vivas get another hit

Jorbit Vivas had a hit and is hitting .305 with an OPS of .882 this month. Eddys Leonard had a triple and Luis Diaz had the only RBI of the game which was his 74th of the year.

Single A Rancho Cucamonga

Rancho scored 2 in the 4th inning and 1 in the 5th, but that was all of the offense as the Quakes dropped a tight 4-3 decision to Inland Empire, the Single-A affiliates of the Angels.

Watch Heubeck in Action

Peter Heubeck had a good start striking out 6 in 3 innings of work. He is a 2021 draft pick with a big breaking ball that I call a right-handed Clayton Kershaw breaking ball and a fastball that will continue to tick up as he grows into his body and develops.

Watch Lockwood-Powell get 2 hits

Griffin Lockwood Powell had 2 more hits for the Quakes and has 4 2 hit games in a row. He is 8 for his last 16 with a home run and 4 RBIs during that stretch.

Watch Young hit his 1st home run

Taylor Young hit his 1st home run as a Quake and it was hit 414 very happy feet. Young has a 6-game hit streak and is 5 for his last 13 with a home run, a double, 8 runs scored, and 12 total bases. Gritty dude with a lot of talent!

Watch Fernandez get 2 hits

Yeiner Fernandez had 2 hits and an RBI for the Quakes including his 10th home run of the year. Fernandez is hitting .343 this month with an OPS of 1.040 and has a 3-game hit streak.
