Dominican Summer League Cardinals Notebook 8-25-14

Will Changarotty

The Dominican Summer League Cardinals extended their wining streak to three games to open the week but lost their final two games.  The club finished the 2014 season with a 22-48 record, .314 PCT, and 28.5 games out of first place.  The team did stay ahead of the Reds Two for ninth place in the Boca Chica South Division.

Week In Review:

The Cardinals opened their final week with a two-game series against the Mets One.  The Redbirds and Mets exchanfged runs over the first six innings for a 2-2 tie.  Will Changarotty was solid striking out seven and allowing seven hits and two runs over the first six innings.  Andy De La Cruz struggled giving up three runs and the lead to the Mets in the seventh.  Luis Flores tagged a three-run homer to top off a four-run ninth inning by the Cardinals.  Jose Lara came in and collected his third consecutive save and the Redbirds held on to win 6-5.

The Mets One visited the Cardinals in the second game.  The Mets struck first plating a run in the second and third for the 2-0 lead.  David Oca settled down to toss six innings allowing seven hits and two runs.  The Redbirds came back to tie the game up in the bottom of the seventh at three.  Esteban Vallejo kept the Mets in check with two scoreless innings and Wadye Infante hit a solo home run in the bottom of the tenth to lead the Cardinals to a 4-3 victory over the Mets One.

The Nationals and Cardinals began a two-game set on Wednesday and had to finish off the first game on Thursday, due to weather.  The Redbirds probably wish this game was cancelled as they were only able to get two base runners on, via walks.  Pitching was the strong for the Cardinals as Franyel Casadilla, Angel Estevez, and Rigobert Urena combined for the nine innings allowing four hits, one run, two walks, and struck five out.  Unfortunately the Nationals were stronger as the no-hit the Cardinals 1-0.

The Cardinals visited the Nationals in the second game of the series.  The two teams exchanged runs in the first and the Nationals took over after with one in the second and two in the fifth.  Sandy Alcantara pitched a complete game of six innings and struck out seven but earned all four runs.  Wadye Ynfante and Ignacio Chevalier provided the offense with two doubles and one single.  The Nationals held on two win 4-1 over the Cardinals.

The final two games between the Cardinals and Mariners were cancelled due to rain.


Who's Hot:

Wadye Ynfante collects three multi-hit games in the last four and pushed his batting average to .200.  The 17-year old right-handed hitter went 7-for-15 (.467) with one home run, two RBIs, two runs, one walk, one strikeout, and one caught stealing/pickoff.  He played four games in left field.  The 2014 free agent signing finished the season tied for third in home runs and second in triples, on the team, and owned third place in walks and stolen bases.

Dionenrys Pena connected for four hits in one game, on August 18th.  The 19-year old right-handed hitter went 5-for-9 (.556) with one RBI, three runs, and four strikeouts.  He played two games at catcher (threw out one of three base runners and committed one throwing error, and one as designated hitter.

David Oca stayed solid in his final start of the season.  The 19-year old left-hander hurled on August 19th, tossing six innings, allowing seven hits, two earned runs, hit one batter, struck two out, and picked two runners off.  He had a ground out-to-fly out ratio of 8-to-4.  In his last four starts, the December 10, 2012 free agent signing gave up 17 hits, three earned runs, four walks, and struck out 24 over 24.1 innings (1.12 ERA).

Will Changarotty saved his best for last, throwing his best performance of the season.  The 18-year old right-hander started on August 18th, allowing seven hits, two runs (one earned), threw one wild pitch, and struck out seven.  He had a ground out-to-fly out ratio of 4-to-4.  The July 24, 2012 free agent signing was able to drop his ERA below 5.00 while striking out 45 and walking 22 over 52.1 innings.

Franyel Casadilla did not give up an earned run in his final five appearances.  The 17-year old right-hander made his tandem start on August 20th pitching four and a third scoreless innings allowing three hits, committing one pickoff error, striking out three, and picking off one runner.  He had a ground out-to-fly out ratio of 5-to-1.  Over his the last five games, the November 5, 2013 free agent signing logged 12 innings giving up nine hits, three unearned runs, one walk, and striking out 13.

Who's Not:

Dennis Ortega went hit less in his last two games and only connected for a hit in four of his last ten.  The 17-year old right-handed hitter went 0-for-7 (.000) with two strikeouts.  He played two games at catcher, throwing out two of four base runners.

Hector Linares went hit less in his last four games and connected for a hit in two of his last ten.  The 17-year old right-handed hitter went 0-for-14 (.000) with one run and five strikeouts.  He played one game at shortstop (committing one throwing error) and three as designated hitter.

Joaquin De La Cruz ended his season on a five-game hit less streak.  The 18-year old right-handed hitter went 0-for-3 (.000) with one strikeout.  He played one game at first base.  The June 5, 2013 free agent signing was only able to connect for a hit in four of his last 24 games played.

Oscar Cotes did not collect a hit in his final eight games played.  The 17-year old right-handed hitter went 0-for-8 (.000) with one walk and three strikeouts.  He played one game at third base and two at shortstop (assisted in three double plays).  The 2014 free agent signing connected for a hit in just three of his final 27 games played.

Sandy Alcantara had the remainder of his season offset after his injury mid-July.  The 18-year old right-hander started on August 21st, allowing five hits, four earned runs, one walk, hit two batters, and struck out seven for the losing decision (1-9).  He had a ground out-to-fly out ratio of 10-1.  From July 18th on, the July 2, 2013 free agent signing logged 28.2 innings giving up 30 hits, 21 runs (18 earned), one home run, 12 walks, and struck 27 out (5.75 ERA).
