Prospect Report: McGarry Strikes Out 13 Cyclones



Griff McGarry, RHP Phillies: After setting a career high with 10 strikeouts last week against Aberdeen, McGarry took it up a notch on Wednesday, punching out 13 Brooklyn batters. He generated 15 swinging strikes across 5.1 innings, allowing four hits, an earned run and a walk. When McGarry commands his fierce stuff he’s as tough an at-bat as you’ll see in the minor leagues. The righthander sits 95-96 mph on his fastball, running it up to 98 mph, with ride and a flat vertical approach angle. He has a deep arsenal of secondaries with a cutter, slider, curveball and changeup.

Curtis Mead, 3B Rays: A game time temperature of 100 degrees couldn’t slow down Mead, as he went 3-for-5 with two runs scored and a pair of stolen bases. Two of his three hits came off of starter Jared Shuster, as Mead continues to hit against quality competition. At just 21 years old in Double-A, Mead is hitting .308/.397/.554 with 10 home runs.

Alexfri Planez, OF Guardians: The power-hitting outfielder did damage on both ends of Wednesday’s doubleheader in Daytona. Alexfri the dragon slayer homered twice in game one in consecutive innings before going 2-for-4 with a double in the nightcap. Planez has a hyper-aggressive approach at the plate with big raw power. After a difficult opening two months, Planez has turned it on in June with seven home runs and 18 RBIs this month.

Niko Kavadas, 1B Red Sox: The Red Sox slugger clubbed his second home run in as many nights as he continues to punish Carolina League pitching. This was Kavadas’ sixth home run over his last eight games, and he now leads the Carolina League in home runs, OPS and RBI. Kavadas is certainly old for the level, but he’s continued to hit at a level worthy of promotion.

Forrest Whitley, RHP Astros: The 2016 first-round pick made his second rehab start for Fayetteville, going two innings, striking out two and allowing a hit. He had six swinging strikes and recorded both of his strikeouts swinging. Whitley flashed his signature velocity and spin in his first start, running his curveball up to 2800 rpm and his fastball up to 97 mph. Whitley’s pitch mix consists of two fastball variations, a high-80s cutter, a high-70s curveball and a changeup.

Jose Salas, SS Marlins: The 19-year-old middle infielder has been on fire during the month of June, hitting .367/.473/.583 with eight extra-base hits and 12 RBIs. Salas went 2-for-4 with a home run as he stretched his hit streak to 13 games. Salas now has six multi-hit games over the streak including last night's effort. On a team loaded with talented middle infielders Salas has stood out amongst the rest.
