I’m a little late on getting the final numbers out for former Bulldogs in the professional ranks. Maton and Diehl are currently in the big leagues. Good experience for both as they’ll look to compete for key roles next year.
RHP Phil Maton (MLB, Cleveland Indians): 0-0, 6.68 ERA, 33.2 IP, 38 hits allowed, 11 BB, 29 K, Maton has a 3.86 ERA with Cleveland in 7 appearances (2-2, 2.76 ERA, 5 saves, 29.1 IP, 22 hits allowed, 10 BB, 47 Ks in Triple-A) – Maton has made 119 big league appearances over 3 seasons
LHP Phillip Diehl (MLB, Colorado Rockies): 0-0, 27.00 ERA, 2 IP, 7 hits allowed, 1 BB, 3 K, Diehl has made 4 big league appearances, he’s getting some valuable experience, big offseason coming up (2-1, 5.50 ERA, 58.2 IP, 59 hits allowed, 18 BB, 64 Ks, made 50 appearances in minor leagues)
RHP Braden Bristo (Double-A, New York Yankees): 4-2, 2.60 ERA, 65.2 IP, 50 hits allowed, 20 BB, 84 K in 38 appearances (Bristo had an outstanding year, I really think he needs to be traded, Yankees system is just absolutely loaded)
RHP Nate Harris (High-A, Colorado Rockies):4-6, 4.83 ERA, 91.1 IP, 107 hits allowed, 17 BB, 77 Ks in 41 appearances (Never doubt Nate Harris, he just keeps finding a way. A 4.83 ERA in the altitude he played in is near impossible. Will be interesting to see if he continues to progress up the system.)
LHP David Leal (High-A, Oakland A’s): 6-0, 1.73 ERA, 41.2 IP, 25 hits allowed, 4 BB, 52 Ks in 16 appearances (Leal got drafted in the 38th round in June and went out and did what he does. He pounds the strike zone over and over and over again. He made one start in High-A to close out his 2019 season. He lacks elite velo, but he can pitch. He has to perform at a high level to stay in the system, A’s have no money invested in him and won’t hesitate to cut bait)
C Brent Diaz (Low-A, Milwaukee Brewers): .245 BA, .361 OBP, .385 SLG%, 12 doubles, 2 triples, 4 home runs, 24 RBI, 7 stolen bases, 32 BBs, 55 Ks in 200 at bats (Diaz made a poor decision after his junior season to go pro, he’s still not an everyday player in his 3rd year at Low-A)
OF Mason Mallard (Low-A, Tampa Bay Rays): .286 BA, .365 OBP, .350 SLG%, 5 doubles, 2 triples, 0 home runs, 12 RBI, 3 stolen bases, 15 BBs, 30 Ks in 140 at bats (Mallard has some talent, but he’s going to have to figure out a way to hit the ball out of the ballpark or steal 35-40 bases a year with a .365-.370 OBP if he’s going to progress)
RHP Phil Maton (MLB, Cleveland Indians): 0-0, 6.68 ERA, 33.2 IP, 38 hits allowed, 11 BB, 29 K, Maton has a 3.86 ERA with Cleveland in 7 appearances (2-2, 2.76 ERA, 5 saves, 29.1 IP, 22 hits allowed, 10 BB, 47 Ks in Triple-A) – Maton has made 119 big league appearances over 3 seasons
