Rookies doing well – Gibbons, Kennelly, Lee, Wade
Wilson Lee – 3-0 record
Some of the younger players are performing well down in the Rookie Leagues.
Josh Kennelly is on a 5 game hitting streak with the AZL Reds. He is hitting .281 over his last 10 games and .375 over his streak.
Logan Wade had a quiet start to his pro career but he’s picked up the pace more recently hitting safely in his last 4 games and getting 4RBI in those games. He has a total of 8 RBI for the season and is hitting .233 for the GCL Twins.
Wilson Lee with the GCL Pirates is arguably the best performing rookie pitcher owning a 2.11ERA after 21.1 innings so far. Significantly Wilson has not allowed a run in 8 of his last 10 outings. His record is W3-0 and yesterday recorded his 2nd Hold.
Sam Gibbons with the GCL Twins is just as impressive with a W3-1 record and a very pleasing 1.88ERA after 24 innings.

Not so lucky was Sam Gibbons who pitched a solid 3 innings for the GCL Twins who were shut out by the Orioles in 8-0 loss leaving Sam carrying the loss.
His line was 3INN, 2H, 1R, 1BB, 3K. Any other time that sort of outing would get you a win. Sam is now W3-1 with a 1.88ERA
Rookie Leagues – Battaglia, Gibbons, Lamb, Wade
Ryan Battaglia
Ryan Battaglia went 1-3 today, scoring a run for the Indians. He is hitting .239.

We mention Cameron Lamb here although he was moved up today to the Giants Short Season A team on a further step on his rehab progress. He had thrown 3.1 innings at Rookie Ball without giving up a run and today went 1.1 inning for Salem-Keizer allowing 1R on 3H, 0BB with 1K.
Rookie Leagues – James Brooks, Sam Gibbons, Josh Kennelly, Jackson Lodge
Jackson Lodge
Washington’s James Brooks had his best pro outing yesterday in his 9th game in the GCL. He went 3-5, scoring 1 run and an RBI. He has hit safely in 7 of 9 games. We think that’s a good start to his career.
Perhaps inspired by the signing of his younger brother, Josh Kennelly broke his hitting drought in style, going 2-3 including his 1st home run, scoring 2 runs and an RBI. Nothing like a little sibling rivalry to bring out the best.
Sam Gibbons gave up his 1st runs yesterday. Starting against the Orioles he threw 3 innings, giving up 3 runs (2ER) on 7 hits including a home run whilst collecting 3Ks. His ERA is 1.38.
Jackson Lodge produced a workmanlike outing against the Blue Jays. In 4 innings he allowed 1 home run on 3 hits and 2Ks leaving him with a 2.81ERA.
Twins’ Sam Gibbons continues on his winning ways
He’s only pitched in 3 professional games and already he has a 2-0 record.
Sam Gibbons threw 5 scoreless innings for the GCL Twins in their 5-0 win over the Orioles today, allowing just 3 hits whilst striking out 3 and picking up his 2nd win.
So that is 3 scoreless games so far, throwing 10 innings.
Pretty good start to his pro career.
Update – Corey Adamson, Wilson Lee, Sam Gibbons
Corey Adamson, Eugene Emeralds, pitched his first inning as a pro today.

More on the Sam Gibbons signing
More information [from the ABF] about Sam Gibbons who signed this week with the Twins.
Gibbons will complete Year 12 at Belmont High School this year prior to heading to Fort Myers (Florida) in April, for extended spring training with the Twins. It will be the start of a journey that Gibbons hopes may track the path of Baycats teammate Josh Spence and even the great Graeme Lloyd, Geelong’s most decorated baseball product.“It’s pretty overwhelming at the moment,” Gibbons admitted, “and I’m sure it hasn’t sunk in just yet. I guess it will when I get over there.”“We knew that the scouts were interested, but it’s still hard to believe that it has happened,” he said.“I didn’t get much sleep the first night.”While spring training is nine months off, Sam Gibbons has plenty on the agenda to occupy his time in the interim. To help with his rehabilitation, the Twins will be supplying a throwing programme that will enable him to see some mound time with Deakin before he heads off with the Baycats to the Grand Forks International in late August.
