Short-A (Lowell Spinners)

Another Prospect Watch, another week of Gilberto Jimenez being the toast of Lowell. The Red Sox have to absolutely love what they’ve seen from this kid. The 19-year-old is hitting .336 with six doubles, one triple, and two home runs. He’s driven in 13 runs and scored 21 more, stealing seven bases. It’s hard not to be really optimistic about Jimenez to this point.

Joe Davis is raking too. The first baseman is on a five-game hitting streak (three straight multi-hit games). He’s now up to .329 with six doubles and two home runs. Davis has 19 RBI in 20 games and could be someone who establishes himself as a run producer very quickly.

Alex Erro was selected in the 17th round of the 2019 Draft. Now he’s making his first appearance on the Prospect Watch. The 21-year-old is hitting .310 with 12 RBI and 11 runs scored so far. He could definitely be someone who gets on-base at a solid clip and keeps a high average, allowing him to score a lot of runs.

Cameron Cannon has collected a hit in 9-of-his-last-10 games. The shortstop is now hitting .225 in Lowell, roping six doubles and two home runs. He’s driven in 11 runs and scored 16 as well. On a very positive note, in his last outing Cannon recorded his second three-hit game of the year.

Nick Decker is down to .235 but still has a solid five home runs (as well as five doubles and two triples). The outfielder has driven in 20 runs and scored 16 more. He’s definitely one of the more exciting power prospects in the organization, and the 19-year-old is only going to get better.

Marino Campana still isn’t having the year anyone expected him to have, but things are looking up. The 21-year-old has had some bigger games lately and is currently hitting .223. Although he’s not hitting homers (five combined between three leagues) he’s finding other ways to help. He’s had two separate two-RBI games in the last week and had a three-steal game as well.

Noah Song looks as good as advertised. The 22-year-old simply looks too dominant for Short-A to this point. He’s thrown five innings in three outings, giving up no runs on one hit and one walk. In that time, he’s struck out seven. For those keeping track, that’s a 0.00 ERA, 0.60 WHIP and .125 BAA – nuts.

Chris Murphy has a 1.29 ERA after throwing four shutout innings this week. Over those four innings, he allowed four hits and one walk but struck out four as well. Overall, the lefty has 17 strikeouts over 14 innings, while walking just three.

Next. Rick Porcello rebounds for the Red Sox against Kansas City. dark

Ryan Fernandez has a 1.55 ERA over 29 innings so far. The right-handed pitcher has 27 strikeouts in that time and is posting a .159 BAA and 0.83 WHIP. He’s improved leaps and bounds compared to last season, despite being at a higher level.
