News Around the League

29 May - Harmon Blasts 3 out of the Park: Fans are still buzzing after Fiddler's Green whipped the Somerville Place Sentry Bots by the score of 11-7 today at The Trailer Yard.

Phil Harmon smashed three home runs in the contest, a feat that would be a career highlight for most players and few fans ever see. In a tremendous performance, the second baseman bashed out 4 hits in 5 at-bats, had 4 RBIs and scored 4 times.

At the postgame press conference, Harmon said it was an "unbelievable" feeling to hit three home runs in a game.

"Getting one homer is special, and two is great," Harmon said. "Three is just... wow."

Phil Harmon hit a solo-shot off Batface Landry in the 2nd, grounded out in the 3rd, hit an RBI double in the 4th, hit a solo-shot off Art McGowan in the 6th and hit a solo-shot off Gulp Ochoa in the 8th.

This year Harmon is hitting .304 with 6 home runs and 24 RBIs to his credit. He has gotten on base at a .377 clip and scored 19 runs.

30 May - Evans Takes Charge, Blanks Greentop Nursery, 15-0: Montes Evans put on a razor-sharp performance for the Taffington Boathouse Spy Hunters against the Greentop Nursery Night People at Medford Memorial Hospital Field today. Evans fashioned a fine 3-hitter, blanking them 15-0 and chalking up 10 strikeouts and 2 walks.

This year Evans has compiled a 2-2 mark with a 3.65 ERA in 7 starts.

31 May - Minigun Involved in Accident: Forest Grove reliever Yolo Minigun will be out of the lineup for 9 months. He informed the Pugilists skipper that he hurt himself when he attempted to do a wheelie on his custom-made motorized quadcycle and sustained a concussion.

Covert's Hit Streak Soars to 25 Games: Nobody has been able to shut down Haymarket Mall Commandos left fielder Kevin Covert in recent days. The Boston Common Lead Bellies fared no better than the rest.

Today at Garden Terrace Field, Covert picked up 3 hits in 4 at-bats en route to a 7-1 Commandos victory. It stretched his hitting string to 25 consecutive games.
Kevin Covert flied out in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, singled in the 5th and singled in the 8th.

So far this season Covert is batting .442 with 5 home runs.

Players of the Week

Bunker Hill Center Fielder Nets CA Award: At the age of 28, Flatface Parker might have some potential he hasn't realized yet -- if his success at the plate last week is any indication, he could be back in the CBO soon. He was once a .300-plus hitter for the Quincy Gunners before being traded to the Abernathy organization.

The Bunker Hill center fielder put up some exceptional numbers the past seven days with a .471 batting average. For his efforts Parker collected the Commonwealth Association Player of the Week Award.

He racked up 8 hits in 17 at-bats, 1 home run and 6 RBIs last week in 4 games.

This year Parker is hitting .347 with 4 home runs and 24 RBIs to his credit. He has gotten on base at a .434 clip and scored 12 runs.

Funny of Somerville Place Crowned Best Player: Nobody in the Massachusetts Association had a better week than Tipitino Funny... Noooo-body! That's why he was voted the Player of the Week.

During the week the Somerville Place shortstop compiled a .706 batting average (12-for-17) with 1 home run, 4 runs batted in and scored 8 runs.

This season Funny is swinging the bat at a .452 rate with 38 hits in 84 at-bats. To date he has hit 1 home run, scored 22 runs and driven in 11. His .452 average is currently tops in the BMU, ten average points higher than Haymarket Mall's Kevin Covert.

Prospect Spotlight

End of the Line? Five Top Prospects Stuck in Place

This week, let's look at the top prospects remaining in the BMU this season. Right now, 10 of the top 15 prospects in the OSA Prospect Pipeline are on their CBO teams. Some are stuck as emergency backups, but they are there indeed. That includes the #2 overall prospect, CF Maxx Murtagh of the Nordhagen Beach Party Boys, and the #6 overall prospect, SP Nuke Laloosh of the Roxbury Rad Sox. Now let's take another look at the five prospects who are still kicking around spit buckets in the BMU.

#4 SP Eugene Gym, Forest Grove Pugilists (Roxbury) - 7 GS, 1-3, 5.13, 33.1 IP, 45 HA, 19 ER, 18 BB, 22 K
Analysis: The Roxbury Rad Sox love the potential of Gym as a former #1 overall pick, but they still want him to show more before they allow him to lose a ton of games at the CBO level. He may be a prospect who needs success before he can be a "player" in the league. When he does hit potential, he will have among the best stuff in the league from his 98-MPH fastball and great control of his offspeed pitches, including what may be his best future pitch, the knuckle curve. By 2301, we can see him suiting up in the Sox uniform.

#9 RF Base McAndrews, Galleria Robotics Experts (Finch Farm) - 27/107 (.252), 2 2B, 2 HR, 16 R, 9 RBI, 8 BB, 17 SO, 2 SB, 2 CS
Analysis: McAndrews was not heavily recruited when he entered Commonwealth baseball in 2298 after a tryout period where the Quincy organization signed him. Later that year, they traded him to Finch Farm as a potential future CBO player. He has potential, but he has not executed that potential yet making some scouts start to question if he can make it past the BMU. He is hitting over .200 for the first time this season, finally starting to make better contact on the ball. He is good in the outfield, which is his best asset so far.

#10 SP Whokill Poole, Forest Grove Pugilists (Roxbury) - 7 GS, 2-1, 3.40, 45.0 IP, 44 HA, 17 ER, 15 BB, 43 K
Analysis: Poole looks closer to moving up than his teammate, Gym, but he is still a part of the numbers game for Roxbury. While Gym is likely to replace either Jack Arasmith (2-7, 5.71 with Roxbury) or Tyler Shuster (1-5, 6.39) next season, it is likely that Poole will enter his 5th straight year with Forest Grove in 2301 with his likely move up happening in 2302. While the former undrafted free agent following the 2296 Rookie Draft sat and waited, not being signed until after the 2297 season, he has shown lots of potential. That means he will get his shot, but it is not certain that shot will be with the Rad Sox.

#12 3B Donn Mattingley, Greentop Nursery Night People (Nordhagen Beach) - 18/96 (.188), 2B, 7 R, 4 RBI, 2 BB, 29 SO
Analysis: We have mentioned Mattingley before as an interesting prospect. While he could move to another position like 1B, his best shot with the Party Boys is at 3B. He is currently behind Jon Hitman and Dirty Dog Sapienza at the position, so he is staying put at Greentop Nursery in 2300. However, Hitman (.271/2/11) is starting to show his age, currently batting below .300 for the first time in his career. As active as Nordhagen Beach is around the trading deadline, they could be looking to improve that position. What does that mean for Mattingley? We don't know. However, with his .188/.235/.198 line, the potential power hitter could benefit from the rumored rookie league to get his footing. He has not adjusted well from the BYDL's Diamond City Newsboys to the next level, and he has still yet to show that power potential that helped get him drafted in the 1st Round of the 2299 Rookie Draft.

#13 RF Gunner Eyesocket, Haymarket Mall Commandos (Jamaica Plain) - 38/110 (.345), 5 2B, 2 HR, 16 R, 18 RBI, 11 BB, 11 SO
Analysis: Of all the players on this list, Eyesocket looks to be the most ready of the five. However, who would he replace at Jamaica Plain? A prospect already seeing playing time, though struggling, in Goody Cloyse (.219/5/19) or the heavy hitting Damani Beebe (.323/6/16)? Granted, there are smoking rumors about Beebe being on the trading block, but Eyesocket, the #4 overall pick in the 2298 Rookie Draft, may benefit by staying put in Haymarket Mall for 2300 with a promotion coming on Day 1 of the 2301 season.
