River Ryan....WOW...WOW...WOW!
Career high in innings pitched last night for River Ryan, and he was RIDICULOUS!
6IP | 4H | 0ER | 8Ks | 0BB

4 Seam AVERAGED 97.5 spin AVERAGED 2431! He touched OVER 100 6 times 2 starts ago in Albuquerque, and was consistently 97-99 in his last start in OKC & he was 98 on the FB last night. He was 91.4 on his slider, and BOTH pitches, both his 4 Seam & slider held that EXACT velo all the way through the 6th.

He was close to splitting time between his slider and change-up as his primary 2nd pitch, then he split time with his other 22 pitches between his curveball, cutter, and sinker.

He threw 32 4 Seams; he was in the zone with it 69% of the time, and ONLY FOUR were put into play, ONLY 3 were for hits, and ONLY 1 was registered as a "hard hit". He allowed one hit on all the other pitch types combined & NO hard hits registered. So, only 1 hard hit registered for his ENTIRE outing out of his total of 87 pitches.

Complete dominance. He pitched backwards successfully earlier in the game, so he didn't need a settling period. He dove headfirst into the execution piece right off the bat, mastered it, and kept it consistent.

He retired the last 13 hitters, and, again, his velo spiked to 98.2 in the 6th, and was still 91.4 on the slider. Here's every pitch of his 1st, 4th, 5th & 6th innings. #dodgers #dodgersprospects #riverryan

Down on the Farm: Patick Was Sterling, Elkins is BACK, Ferris Was Wheelin’ & More

If you didn't know that Jaron Elkins was back after being on the IL for a couple of weeks, well, you do NOW after last night's explosion. Through 3 at-bats, he had 3 hits and needed just a home run for the cycle, but added a double instead to go 4-5.

He led the League in stolen bases last year, so having him and Kellon Lindsey back-to-back is gonna be worth the price of admission by itself. He's hitting .297 on the year, OPS is .924, and he has 16 stolen bases in 32 games. This equates to 66 for the entire year, which would be 3 more than he had last year. THAT race is on!

I think, injuries notwithstanding, he'll cross that barrier fairly easily this year.

Elkins has 5 home runs, which is more than half of what he had last year, so he's building on the ends that need more construction, while not subtracting from any end that is already elite. Gonna be super fun to continue to watch his process as he grows up in the system. #dodgers #dodgersprospects #jaronelkins

Jaron Elkins...WHAT A RETURN!

It's never boring when Great Lakes and Dayton hook up, especially when the game is in Dayton. The Loons, in 2022, made a miraculous 1st half comeback in a series at Dayton, and it's been ON ever since.

Last night Great Lakes carried a 2-0 lead into the 9th, the Dragons got their first 2 runners on, then we had this play at home, then the BROUHAHA!

Felt terrible for Nicolas Cruz! He was a victim of a soft leadoff base hit, then an error, then just straight craziness on a balk and a walkoff bunt base hit. Dudes a stud though, can't wait to see him on the bump tonight or tomorrow. #dodgers #dodgersprospects

It's a BROUHAHA! Never Dull When Great Lakes & Dayton Get Together!

Zach Root was pretty badass last night for the LOONS!
4IP | 1H | 0R | 9Ks | 2BB

His last 5 outs he recorded were ALL strikeouts. He used multiple off-speed pitches to steal strikes, i.e., backdoor slider & changeup & he was very good at stealing strikes with them. He added & subtracted as needed, and his fastball was explosive.

He's not afraid to throw a series of breaking balls and/or breaking balls in a row, lull the hitter to sleep, then absolutely hammer a fastball in on the hands. I LOVE that sequencing. The confidence to pitch backwards to set up the fastball on the inner half is Big League. Commanding the inner half reduces the possibility of getting hurt, because those are the damage locations.

Soft away/hard in is a sequence that, especially if it's done backwards, will forever be successful. Fastball was in the 94-95 range, sweeping breaking balls wiped out lefties, then, right when the hitters sat fastball, and saw what they thought was something straight, he pulled the string on a change, and them out front.

Absolutely masterful sequencing, well thought of and equally as well executed. The different shapes, the change of speeds, the way he works both sides of the plate, very advanced stuff. #dodgers #dodgersprospects #zachroot

Zach Root was ABSOLUTELY BADASS!

I told you yesterday that Kellon Lindsey would go sub 4.00 from home to first, and well, here ya' go! On this bunt base hit, he was 3.87. This is "80 grade" speed on display in this video. Elite, Major League level ELITE speed, and you get to see it in action.

The scale doesn't go any higher than that! It's not very often you get to see a pro do something that nobody else on a field full of pros can do, so, Dayum, that was fun. #dodgers #dodgersprospects #kellonlindsey

Kellon Lindsey...SUB 3.87 From the RIGHT SIDE! Wow...8-GRADE ELITE!

Sterling Patick turned in his latest & greatest outing last night for High A Great Lakes. This time, he had to work around 6 hits in just 4.1 innings and 2 walks, to cross his finish line scoreless. And, somehow, he did it.
4.1IP | 6H | 0R | 4Ks | 2BB

He faced 6 hitters in the 1st & found himself in a bases-loaded jam with just 1 out, and started the next hitter off with a CHANGEUP for strike 1. His sequence to that hitter was change, fastball, slider, then back-to-back curveballs. I mean...Wow...Are you kidding me? That sequence with the bases loaded, no outs for a 20-year-old? Count me in on the mentality of THAT DUDE!

Then, in the 2nd inning, he gave up a leadoff hit, got two quick outs, then gave up another hit, threw a wild pitch, and then got a fly out to center. Then he hit the first hitter of the 3rd inning, picked him off, gave up a double, and stranded that runner too.

I loved this outing. Not because it was perfect, but because it wasn't. These are "Trust Tree" outings for me, because he didn't have his top-end velo, or top-end anything for that matter, IMO, and found a way. That's what the great ones do. #dodgers #dodgersprospects #sterlingpatick

Patick is STERLING!
