Padres MiLB July 30, 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

Kyle Blanks (AA): 3-6, HR, R, 3 RBI, SO

Minor League Pitcher of the Day

Juan Oramas (DSL): 6.0 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 6 SO, 0 HR

Other Commentary

Who is Juan Oramus? Yeah, I don’t know either… But the eight-teen year old has great numbers: 37.0 IP, 16 H, and a 17/51 BB/SO ratio.
