Petit does it again
Yusmeiro Petit had another excellent start on Saturday, going six and one-third innings, allowing two runs, one earned, on two hits and two walks while striking out ten. His 1.67 ERA is second best among Mets minor league starters (Matt Ginter's at 1.30 for Norfolk) and his strikeout rate of 11.41 per nine innings is the best among starters (thanks to 3AM for the excellent stats). Through thirty-two and two-thirds innings, he's struck out 41, walked 11 and allowed just one home run. His 3.73 strikeout to walk ratio is almost exactly the same as the 3.75 Scott Kazmir put up for Capital City last year.
Also in Cap City, Ian Bladergroen continues to hit, putting up a .360/.422/.702 line through 114 at bats.
Elsewhere in the minors, David Wright has gone a couple of days without a hit, but he's still drawing walks and hitting .336/.459/.600 through 110 at bats. Prentice Redman is still beating up on the youngsters as well, hitting .315/.384/.604 through 11 at bats. And Matt Peterson continues to excel on the mound for Binghamton, posting a 2.27 ERA with 30 strikeouts, eight walks and three home runs through thirty-one and two-thirds innings.
At Norfolk, the aforementioned Matt Ginter has been the star on the mound, striking out 24 and walking just three through twenty-seven and two-thirds innings to earn that 1.30 ERA. He has yet to allow a home run. Aaron Heilman's 4.01 ERA isn't that pretty as he's allowed a ton of hits, but he's struck out 30 through thirty-three and two-thirds innings while walking ten and allowing four home runs. The Norfolk bats have gone cold, though, as Mike Jacobs and Victor Diaz continue to struggle and Craig Brazell continues to rack up more home runs than walks. ¶ joe | 3:25 PM |
