In total, the new player development system includes 179 teams across 17 leagues in 43 states and four provinces. Including the AZL and GCL, there are 209 teams across 19 leagues in 44 states and four provinces. That includes the 150 teams in the PDL and AZL/GCL along with the four partner leagues: the American Association, Atlantic League, Frontier League and Pioneer League. The long-time Triple-A structure of the International and Pacific Coast Leagues have been replaced by Triple-A East and Triple-A West. Triple-A East consists on 20 teams; all 14 from the International League, plus teams moving from the Pacific Coast League, the Southern League and the independent Atlantic League. Triple-A West is comprised of nine Pacific Coast League teams and one addition from the Atlantic League. These changes were made to help reduce travel and allow Major League teams to have their affiliates, in most cases, within 200 miles of the parent club (or play at their Spring Training facilities). triple-a clubs & affiliates midwest northeast southeast e Columbus (Cleveland Indians) Buffalo (Toronto Blue Jays) Charlotte (Chicago White Sox) Indianapolis (Pittsburgh Pirates) Lehigh Valley (Philadelphia Phillies) Durham (Tampa Bay Rays) a Iowa (Chicago Cubs) Rochester (Washington Nationals) Gwinnett (Atlanta Braves) s Louisville (Cincinnati Reds) Scranton/ Wilkes-Barre (New York Yankees) Jacksonville (Miami Marlins) Omaha (Kansas City Royals) Syracuse (New York Mets) Memphis (St.

  • Jose Osuna Honored As April International League Player of the Month
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 1, 2018 JOSE OSUNA HONORED AS APRIL INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE PLAYER OF THE MONTH The International League announced today that Indianapolis third baseman Jose Osuna has been named the League's Player of the Month for April. Along with winners from other leagues, Osuna will be presented with an award from Minor League Baseball in recognition of his performance last month. Through the first month of the 2018 campaign, Indianapolis third baseman Jose Osuna is hitting .361 and leading the International League in extra-base hits (12) and slugging (.656). He’s also tied for 2nd in the circuit in RBI (16), doubles (9), and total bases (40). Indy’s cleanup hitter has clubbed three home runs, which does not include the three-run blast he hit for Pittsburgh upon being promoted for a doubleheader on April 25. Osuna has been extremely reliable during his time with the Indians, hitting safely in all but one of his seventeen games played so far this season. He capped his stellar month with a three-hit, three-RBI, three-run contest at Toledo to help lead the Tribe roll past the division-leading Mud Hens, 10-7. All three of his long balls this season have been hit on the road, where he is batting .414 in eight games. Osuna becomes the first member of the Indians to be honored as IL Player of the Month since second baseman Alen Hanson in May of 2015. 25-year-old Jose Osuna is in his ninth season as a professional player. He was signed by Pittsburgh as a non-drafted free agent prior to the 2010 campaign.

    Atlanta Braves Clippings Wednesday, June 3, 2015 Braves.com Braves rally, only to fall to D-backs on late HR By Barry M. Bloom and Jake Rill / MLB.com | 2:10 AM ET PHOENIX -- A.J. Pollock hit a go-ahead two-run homer in the seventh inning to lift the D-backs to a 7-6 win over the Braves on Tuesday night at Chase Field. Pollock's opposite-field blast came on a 1-0 pitch from Braves reliever Brandon Cunniff, landing in the swimming pool in right-center. It was the sixth homer of the year for the center fielder, who has hit safely in 12 of 14 games and batted .397 during that stretch. "I just got a pitch middle-away, I was trying to put it in the gap and watch Ender [Inciarte] run and hopefully get that run in," Pollock said. "Fortunate enough, it went over the fence." Braves starter Shelby Miller had his shortest outing of the year, lasting just 4 1/3 innings and giving up a season-high four runs on six hits and a season-high six walks. D-backs starter Josh Collmenter took his third straight no-decision, giving up three runs in 5 2/3 innings. "I just didn't get in the groove type thing, but those kinds of days happen," Miller said. "I mean, you're human. You look at Felix Hernandez's start [on Monday night in a Mariners' 7-1 loss to the Yankees] and other guys who are doing well have poor starts.
