Week 12 Notes

The DSL Braves walk it off on Tuesday against the DSL Dodgers:  The Braves played in two extra-inning affairs in Week 12. Their first one came on Tuesday and was from a hit-by-pitch.

With bases loaded in the bottom if the 10th, the Braves’ Randy Ruiz drew a bean-ball to score Francisco Floyd for the win, 3-2.

That 10th inning run was their first since the 3rd inning, as they went seven innings without pushing across a run.

Cesario Moreno started on the mound for the Braves, tossing three innings of two-hit ball and striking out one, before giving way to Reibyn Corona. Corona worked five innings and struck out three, surrendering one run off four hits.

The Braves tallied seven hits, with Geraldo Quintero providing two of them and Kelvin Pena finishing with the only XBH.

The Dominican team only has six home runs so far this season:  I wrote a bit about this last week, but this DSL Braves team seriously lacks some power.

Already with 19 games behind them and only three different players in the lineup have hit a homer:

The stolen bases are coming in at a frequent pace, though, as 11 different Braves have swiped a bag and seven have swiped at least three.

As far as batting average, the only .300 hitter left is shortstop, Nelson Celesten, who only has nine at-bats this season. This is, of course, a very young team, but it’s interesting to see an entire team with basically the same style of play: Steal bases!

The GCL Braves started play yesterday, versus the GCL Orioles, in a high-scoring contest. With the opening of their season being a part of this week, I’ll cover their entire opening week in the Week 13 Farm Report next week.
