Arizona Fall League 2021

[imref]

mixed bag yesterday:
RHP Jackson Rutledge: 4IP, 4R, 6H, 5K, 1BB
SS Jackson Cluff: 0-for-1, RBI, BB
C Israel Pineda: 1-for-1

Evan Lee pitched a scoreless inning with 3Ks as well, apparently he was a late add to the roster

Is Lee anyone we should be interested in?

Is Lee anyone we should be interested in?

2018 draft pick and was a two way guy in college so he’s relatively new to full time pitching.  Couple that with the missed 2020 season, there is still some growth left for him.  He was a starter with bad numbers at high a this year with strong strikeout numbers.  Has a 55 fastball and 60 curve and throws lefty.  Could be a useful pen option

sounds really interesting as a reliever.  Probably good to take a shot now

Could be fast tracked as well if moved to the pen full time.  If he shows well as a reliever in the fall league they should definitely go that route

Anyone hear who the final 2 players are that have been added to the roster?

[English Natsie]

Does their participation mean that we now have to regard them as Fall Guys?...

Just Peterson and Henry made it from the Nats and only Peterson appeared in the game

Here is a summary of all players by team. Looks like only Peterson pitched.

Cluff led off yesterday (0-2, RBI), Evan Lee threw a perfect 8th, and Todd Peterson closed it out with a perfect ninth with 2Ks, Drew Milas went 1-2, BB, RBI.

Love it if Henry is lined up to pitch.

Nobody expected surprise in the championship

Dunno who is calling this game, but they're great.

Rutledge in. Great stuff. 4ks for his 1st 4 hitters, then bb, k, 4pitch bb, single for a run. K for the last out.

Yep. He clearly had trouble in that second inning with some mechanics. But that breaking ball is filth and he throws 96 from the stretch with ease
