Strong start from Geremy Villoria (mentioned in yesterday's thread). 3 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 5 K so far.

Jalvin Arias is back in the lineup. If he is hitting 7th in his second season and rotating with other OFs then it is pretty close to saying he was a failed signing already.

[Squire]

TJay Walton in the FCL Lineup today.

[andyb]

DSL White winning 12-0 today. In the second inning and they have 7 hits and 8 walks so far.

DSL really feels like HS baseball to me these days. They really need a DSL advanced level to even out the playing fields a bit.

Scouting report from BA Review:
Geremy Villoria, RHP, Venezuela: Villoria developed into one of the better Venezuelan pitchers in the 2025 class by the time he signed for $425,000. He turns 17 on Aug. 14, so he’s one of the youngest pitchers in the class and will play nearly the entire 2025 season as a 16-year-old. He’s 6-foot-3, 180 pounds, a lanky, projectable build with a fastball up to 94 mph and a lot of space left to fill out and add to what’s already a strong fastball for his age. With a compact arm action and good extension out front, Villoria shows feel for a high-spin slider that’s more advanced than his changeup, making for a good combination of present stuff, projection and starter traits.

[owaistabish]

Jalvin Arias cannot hit a curve ball. Big red flags there.

[Squire]

Rene Yrish is a walking meme. Different year. Same awful.

DSL White was up 12-0 and I'm not convinced they will hang on.

[andyb]

But AF would be happy that the entire lineup has drawn at least 1 walk. 3 of them have drawn 2.

If we could give Villoria Rene Yrish's 99 mph fastball we might have something.

[Squire]

Now tied 14-14.

[andyb]

The pitcher ERAs for DSL White keep going up. I fear who is next in the progression.

[owaistabish]

19-16 after Salcedo hits a grand slam lol.

[andyb]

Who said the 4-hour 9-inning game was a thing of the past? They are pushing 5 hours and I don't think it has rained there.

[owaistabish]

Ferrebus quietly having a good year at .269, with .383 OBP, and four home runs and 16 RBIs.

[Austinfan]

I am. Latin hitters tend to be free swingers, so whether they're selecting and/or teaching, good sign.

Is that still true or is it an outdated meme? I don’t know that modern Latin hitters are more aggressive than the average player.

[andyb]

The correct answer is that it is probably meaningless because the level of competition is so bad. Lots of players can draw walks against bad pitchers who can't throw strikes. It tells us nothing unfortunately.

19-16 after Salcedo hits a grand slam

19 runs on 2 extra base hits. That’s got to be a record. 15 walks

[fish]

17 year old DSL catcher Anderson Araujo deserves his own thread today. He took a foul ball directly to his nuggs- the most painful thing I’ve seen on a baseball field other than a pitchers arm snap. Looked for sure that he’d have to go to the hospital. The inside of his cup must have looked like two over ripe tomatoes thrown against a brick wall. But incredibly he stayed in the game, went 2 for 3 with a walk and stolen base. That guy earned his street cred today.

[Squire]

Random question - has Camron Hill ever thrown a pitch for the Phillies organization in a game?

[phillychuck]

Not that I can find, Squire.
