Padres MiLB July 16, Players of the Day

Ground-rules: you won’t see a too-old-for-his-league non-prospect get an award. The award may not go to the best performance of the previous night, but what I deem the most significant performance of the night…

Minor League Hitter of the Day

Cedric Hunter (High-A): 3-6, R, 2 RBI

Minor League Pitcher(s) of the Day

Chris Young (High-A): 3.2 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 4 SO, 1 HR
Manny Ayala (AA): 6.0 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 5 SO, 0 HR

Other Commentary

So who is this Chris Young fellow? He hasn’t appeared in Padres minor league game yet this year… From what I can tell, he throws a rather straight, average velocity fastball that he leaves up in the zone a lot. He’s probably yet another guy who will not be able to get it done at higher levels.
