Commentary

The Storm and TinCaps were both off as the California League and Midwest League each had scheduled days off after their respective All Star games. Additionally, the Portland Beavers were postponed and the Arizona Padres had their turn in the 9-team league to take a day off. With so little action, no performance merited “Player of the Day” status.

Per MLB.com and Corey Brock, Padres signed a few players from this year’s draft including:

3rd round pick: Jerry Sullivan, RHP, Oral Roberts U
5th round pick: Luke Hagerty, C, U Miami
7th round pick: Miles Mikolas, RHP, Nova Southeastern
10th round pick: Ryan Hinson, LHP, Clemson

All four are scheduled to join Eugene this week.

Sullivan immediately becomes the most interesting pitching prospect in Eugene and Hagerty crowds up the Emeralds’ catching situation (Emmanuel Quiles and Gary Benedict are sharing time behind the dish).
