Baseball America Prospect Report – September 5, 2018

Tuesday’s Stars

Nate Pearson, RHP, Blue Jays: Pearson’s season officially ended almost as soon as it started. He recorded five outs in his 2018 debut on May 7 before he was hit by a comebacker that fractured his right forearm. But Pearson did return to the mound yesterday for an exhibition game between Lansing and Michigan State’s baseball team. In the Crosstown Classic, Pearson hit the first batter he faced, then recorded back-to-back fielder’s choices. After that he struck out the final four batters he faced. According to Lansing Lugnuts radio play-by-play man Jesse Goldberg-Strassler, Pearson touched 102 mph during his short stint. The Lugnuts are in the Midwest League’s playoffs, so there is a chance that Pearson could pitch in the playoffs. Considering all the time he missed, Pearson makes perfect sense as a late addition to Arizona Fall League rosters.

Taylor Trammell, OF, Reds. Trammell went 2-for-5 with a home run as Daytona lost its playoff opener to Clearwater.

Alex Kirilloff, OF, Twins. Kirilloff homered in Fort Myers Game 1 win over Palm Beach in the Florida State League playoffs.

Shohei Ohtani, DH, Angels. Ohtani hit his 16th home run of the season last night (and his first off of a lefty). While his pitching has been hindered by his elbow injury, the Angels have also gotten .276/.355/.547 production from Ohtani as a designated hitter, making him the Angels most productive hitter other than Mike Trout.

Kyle Wright, RHP, Braves. Wright made him MLB debut last night as he threw two scoreless innings against the Red Sox. Wright sat at 93-95 mph and got a strikeout of Jackie Bradley Jr. with his changeup and struck out Sandy Leon with a 95 mph fastball.
