Full-A (Greenville Drive)

Everlouis Lozada has only played 11 games for Greenville this season, but he’s definitely made his mark. The 20-year-old is hitting .333 with three doubles, driving in four runs and scoring another eight.

Triston Casas is hitting .264 with 16 doubles and two triples – as well as 13 home runs. The 19-year-old has scored 38 runs and driven in an absolutely nuts 55. The fact that he has a realistic chance to drive in over 100 runs in his first season in the organization is proof of how talented of a prospect he is.

Brandon Howlett is another 19-year-old having a strong season in Full-A. The third baseman is slashing .260/.357/.377 with 13 doubles and four home runs. Howlett’s driven in 21 runs and scored 25 more. Things are definitely trending up – as he’s hitting .406 over his last 10 games.

Devlin Granberg‘s on a 10-game hitting streak. The first baseman’s hitting .291 with 14 doubles, four triples, and five home runs. He’s driven in 26 runs and scored 37 more. Granberg’s hitting .296 in his MiLB career – don’t be surprised if he starts making some waves.

Kole Cottam‘s hitting .247 (.364 OBP) at the moment. The catcher has 11 doubles and four home runs on the year, driving in 23 runs and scoring 22 more. He has 13 RBI in his last 10 games. He also had this clutch grand slam this week.

Oddanier Mosqueda is just 20 years old. The lefty has a 2.03 ERA in 31 innings pitched. In that time, he’s struck out a whopping 46 batters while only walking eight. He’s also only given up one home run.

Chase Shugart has a 1.93 ERA in 28 innings so far. The 22-year-old has 25 strikeouts compared to just four walks.

Alex Scherff went just 4 2/3 innings in his last start. However, the 21-year-old managed to strikeout eight in that time, allowing one earned run. The right-hander has a 4.19 ERA on the year, lowering that number in each of his last three outings.

Yoan Aybar now has a 6.84 ERA after giving up four runs in just 1/3 of an inning. It’s upsetting because if you take out his few implosion innings things would be going great for the 21-year-old. The lefty has 33 strikeouts in 26 1/3 innings and has a .165 BAA.
