Cleveland Guardians Prospect Report 11/7/2024
Scoreboard:
Arizona Fall League - Glendale Desert Dogs 5, Surprise Saguaros 1
Guardians Prospects:
Chase DeLauter (DH): 0-4, 2K - The good news is that after being pinch ran for earlier this week, DeLauter was back in the lineup. Unfortunately he was 0-4 with two strikeouts here. To be fair, both were looking and the first one he looks like he might have gotten jobbed on. I don’t mind the looking strikeouts if they’re borderline. The current Guardians hitters often swing at borderline pitches too much just to avoid the strikeout and can’t really do damage with it. Sometimes that can force a fielder into an error, but often an 80 MPH groundout on a pitch you shouldn’t be swinging at does little damage. Just otherwise the balls DeLauter put in play here did nothing. But at least he’s healthy, which again is his entire point of playing in the AFL.
Milan Tolentino (2B): 1-3, BB, 2 SB, 2K - Tolentino reached base twice and stole a base both times. He’s up to 11 in the AFL. His single was 106 off the bat, so there is that. But he’s still hitting below .200 in the AFL. Output isn’t everything in the AFL, but if you’re really struggling, it’s not the best sign.
