Cape Cod League Wrap Up
Lala played his last game on July 4. His final few summer games were an improvement, finishing the summer 9 for 41 (.220) with 12K/3BB and 3 RBI in 14 games played.
Gil had just three hits in his last 10 games (final game 7/14). He finished 14 for 66 (.210) with 3 HR and 10 RBI. He had 23K/13BB. It wasn’t great but it was an improvement on his time on the Cape last year. The K% remains too high.
Del Castillo unsurprisingly had the best summer of our Cape hitters. He went 41 for 150 (.270) with 5 HR and 24 RBI in 40 games. He struck out 37 times which seems a little high for him, but he was also striking out more towards the end of the spring. He walked just nine times.
Gates was the most pleasant surprise of the summer. He went 0-2 with a 2.86 ERA in 22 IP. The big number for him given his spring control issues was his 20K/4BB ratio. Hopefully this is a sign we’ll be seeing the Gates we expected this spring. It would certainly go a long way towards shoring up the bullpen.
After a decent start, Vilar went ice cold with just three hits in his last 17 games. Overall, he went 11 for 64 (.172) with a HR and 7 RBI. He had 22K/5BB. As we discussed with Lala late in the season, this may have been a case of freshman wearing down.
Toral was another one that had a rough summer. He finished 19 for 101 (.188) with just 2 HR in 36 games. He drove in 17 runs and had 28K/14BB.
Federman made 7 appearances (5 starts) going 1-3 with a 4.80 ERA. He had 28K/7BB. Most of his appearances look decent, but as during the spring there are a couple where it looks like he just didn’t have it. He finished with 1.000 OBP at the plate, walking in his lone plate appearance.
