While Major League Baseball’s season might have ended, there is still baseball being played. Here is an update on how some of the Yankees farmhands in the Arizona Fall League are doing.
Pitchers
Grant Duff (RHP) has logged a 3.68 ERA in 7.1 innings over 8 appearances with 2 saves while striking out 3 and walking 5.
Michael Dunn (LHP) in 7.2 innings over 7 appearances has logged a 2.35 ERA while striking out 13 and walking 6.
Ian Kennedy (RHP) has started 5 games in which he has pitched 20.1 innings with an ERA of 3.98 with 19 strikeout’s and 4 walk’s
Zach Kroenke (LHP) hasn’t been as lucky as his colleagues this fall. He has an ERA of 5.68 over 9 games and 12.2 innings with 10 K’s and 4 walks.
Position Players
Colin Curtis (LF) is currently the best Yankees hitter in the Arizona Fall League batting .368 with an OPS of 1.078.
Brandon Laird (3B) isn’t too far behind Curtis hitting an impressive .333 with 5 HRs, 20 RBI’s and an OPS of 1.018
Austin Romine (C) appears to be playing less than his peers as he has only logged 15 AB’s, but is hitting a healthy .400.
In checking in on the Yankees farmhands, I became quite impressed with Michael Dunn. Not only is he a lefthanded pitcher, but it appears as he can strikeout a handful of hitters with ease, 390 K’s in 375.1 career innings, but he has a bit of wildness (166 walks over the same span of time). While it might be tough for him to crack the bullpen next year, I would keep an eye on him in the future.
