In the top of the second, Hill struck out Gary Sanchez and Mike Ford. Through two innings, he held the Yankees to only two baserunners with a Giancarlo Stanton single in the first and a Clint Frazier walk in the top of the second. Taillon retired Kevan Smith, Brett Phillips, and Mike Brosseau with three strikeouts in the bottom of the second throwing 12 fastballs out of his 15 total pitches. In the top of the third inning the Yankees only baserunners were courtesy of Hill as Brett Gardner walked and Aaron Judge was later hit by a curveball. Gio Urshela ultimately flied out to right field st...

Patiño settled down somewhat by getting five batters in a row until he gave ...

FV: 60 Notes I’m going to bet Carroll goes to the Futures Game and ends up promoted to Double-A shortly after the showcase. He’s shown no signs of slowing down after looking like the best player in all of Arizona during 2020 instructs. This is the kind of player who’s going to out-produce his raw power in games because the quality of his contact is just so good. His homer yesterday (which tied the game in the ninth) was hit to the opposite field. It wasn’t like a lot of oppo bombs that rely on brute strength (think of Giancarlo Stanton’s right-center homers) or just happen to suit t...
