Minor League Baseball Daily Thread for May 22, 2022
Minor League Baseball Top Performers There were plenty of excellent performances across minor league baseball on Saturday, but the Toronto Blue Jays ended up with both individual top performers from the day, with one from A-ball and one from Triple-A. Let’s take a look! Hitter of the DayThe Blue Jays’ final pick of the shortened 2020 draft, Zach Britton has shown his defensive flexibility this season, starting in the outfield and behind the plate. While he’s hitting just .224, he’s getting on base at an impressive .381 clip for the year. Saturday, Britton had a big day for Vancouver, going 3-3 with a double and a pair of home runs,…

Minor League Baseball Top Performers With some family things going on, there was not a minor league baseball daily thread released Sunday, so today’s thread will include all the typical players of note for Saturday and Sunday along with the hitter of the day and pitcher of the day for both days. Saturday Hitter of the DayOne of the top-rated prospects in the 2018 international signing class, Diego Cartaya has been on the radar as one of the Los Angeles Dodgers’ top prospects for some time.

Minor League Baseball Top Performers A pair of Miami Marlins arms made strong cases for the top minor league baseball pitching performance of the day, but in the end, a young Blue Jay took the honor Friday with what has become “just another day” in a big season for the young lefty this year. Hitter of the DayThe Philadelphia Phillies drafted Darick Hall out of Dallas Baptist in the 14th round in 2016 knowing he had prodigious power and hoping he could offer other things around that part of his game. He moved quickly through the system by bashing baseballs, topping 20 home runs every full minor league season until…

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 DayPortland 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…

Minor League Baseball Top Performers Hitter of the DayPedro Leon came to the Astros with big expectations from Cuba last season. He struggled with injury and performance over the course of the 2021 season. His first game with Sugar Land was much better, however, as he went 3-5 at the plate, lacing a double and showing off his plus speed when he took off and stole a base in the seventh inning. The biggest question remaining for Leon is his defense, and that was still present as he committed two errors at shortstop on Opening Day. Pitcher of the DayInterestingly, the guy who threw the first pitch of the minor…
