Minor League Baseball Daily Thread for April 9, 2022

Minor League Baseball Top Performers

The top pitching prospect in the game debuted and the rest of full-season leagues joined Triple-A in play on Friday night as the minor league season is now truly underway!

Hitter of the Day
Portland infielder David Hamilton was originally drafted by the Brewers out of Texas in the 8th round in 2019. He missed the 2020 season but worked his way up to Double-A in 2021 before he came to the Boston Red Sox organization as part of the Hunter Renfroe trade. It would be hard to have a better first night with a new organization than what Hamilton did on Friday, going 4-5 with three runs scored, seven RBI, a triple, two home runs, and a stolen base while leading off for the Sea Dogs.

What a game for David Hamilton! His Grand Slam gives the Sea Dogs an 11-1 lead in the fourth. Hamilton is 4-for-4 with a triple, 2 HR, 7 RBI! pic.twitter.com/in8KWGJyn3

Pitcher of the Day
Part of an elite group of arms in the mid-2010s at Florida, Shaun Anderson was originally drafted by the Red Sox in 2016, but he has bounced around plenty in his time being traded twice and waived four times in his career. The Blue Jays claimed him in November and he opened the season on Triple-A Buffalo’s roster, where he hurled a gem as part of a doubleheader on Friday, going six innings, allowing three hits and a walk, striking out eight as the Bison defeated Iowa in the doubleheader finale 1-0.
