Great Lake Loons July Stats Snapshot & Overview
Hitters:
- Top prospects coming and going. Keibert Ruiz is now in Rancho but Jeren Kendall the 2017 number one pick is playing for the Loons
- Keibert Ruiz and Cristian Santana would appear to be the only two hitters who have overcome the pitching league and park. I feel what Ruiz did at this level is much more impressive than the crazy numbers he’s putting up with Rancho.
- Kendall, Wong, and Yarnall are new pieces, can they crack the code and put up some offensive numbers? Probably not, but Yarnall is off to a good start.
- Oneil Cruz and Brendon Davis are both on new teams.
- 2016 Number one pick Gavin Lux started flexing some muscle over the past few weeks but overall has had an abysmal offensive season. He probably just needs to get promoted to Rancho to start showing some power.

Cristian Santana might want to look at a few pitches.
At least Gavin Lux has shown excellent plate discipline, just can’t seem to hit the ball hard yet.

Pitchers:
- A.J. Alexy and Angel German are gone. Alexy had swing and miss stuff but also some command issues. Lowest BA against among the starters.
- 17-year-old Melvin Jiminez and 20-year-old Imani Abdullah just showed up. Have to admit I was expecting alot from Abdullah this year but he has missed most of the year and will try to use the final month to get ready for next year.
- With A.J. Alexy gone, Dustin May is the best prospect here and pitches like it. Will be curious to see which one has the better career or if either even have a career.
- For a 22-year-old in a pitchers league in a pitchers park, Jordan Sheffield has sure been underwhelming. If I didn’t know the draft pedigree I’d look at the numbers and think Devin Smelzter was the better pitcher to bet on. Smeltzer is already at Rancho while Sheffield looks to finish the year with the Loons.
