Media Contact: John Nolan — [email protected] LET’S GIVE ‘EM SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT
YOUNGEST IN MiLB: The TinCaps have the 6 youngest players in the league: INF Justin Lopez (18), OF Tirso Ornelas (18), INF Gabriel Arias (18), INF Luis Almanzar (18), RHP Luis Patiño (18), and OF Jeisson Rosario (18). Fort Wayne has 11 teenagers on its roster. The average age for a Fort Wayne batter this year, according to baseball-reference.com, has been 19.3. That is the youngest in the league by far. The average age for a Midwest League batter has been 21.3. (Cedar Rapids is second youngest at 20.8. Clinton is oldest at 22.3. South Bend ranks 11th out of 16 at 21.5.)
BLACKJACK: The TinCaps are in the midst of a stretch of 21 days in a row with a game. The stretch started Monday, May 14 and continues until a day off on Monday, June 4. The MWL schedules 140 regular season games in 152 days.
260 TO THE SHOW: Former TinCaps outfielder Franmil Reyes hit his first MLB home run on Monday night for the Padres on the road against the Nationals… Reyes, who was with Fort Wayne for all of the 2014 and ‘15 seasons, was leading all of Minor League Baseball in homers this year with 14 at the time of his call-up. Beyond that, the 22-year-old native of the Dominican Republic was slashing .346/.442/.738 this season. A year ago he led San Diego’s minor league system in home runs with 25 at Double-A San Antonio… 2012-13 TinCaps pitcher Justin Hancock made his MLB debut on May 9 as a reliever for the Cubs at Wrigley Field against the Marlins. The 27-year-old righty is from Defiance, Ohio (which is about 45 miles northeast of Parkview Field). Hancock and Reyes have become the 161st and 162nd former Fort Wayne Wizards/TinCaps to reach the bigs. Others to debut so far this season with the Padres: LHP Joey Luchessi (2016) and LHP Eric Lauer (2016).
SPORTSCENTER: After a half-dozen appearances on ESPN in 2017, the TinCaps already have appeared on SportsCenter twice so far this season. Jeisson Rosario made a head-first diving catch from center field at home against Beloit on May 3 that made “Top 10” at No. 9 the following morning… On April 21, Esteury Ruiz and Tirso Ornelas were featured on SportsCenter during Kevin Connor’s “K.C.’s Minor League Minute” segment after they both had 3-hit games that included a home run at Parkview Field against Dayton.
DOWNTOWN FOR A DECADE: The 2018 season marks the 10th year of TinCaps baseball at Parkview Field. From 1993-2008 the team was known as the Fort Wayne Wizards and played at Memorial Stadium, about 3.5 miles north of Parkview Field.
20 YEARS WITH THE PADRES: This season is the 20th year of affiliation between Fort Wayne and San Diego, going back to 1999. The Wizards entered the Midwest League as an affiliate of the Twins in 1993 and remained with Minnesota through 1998.
NEW LOOK: This season the TinCaps unveiled new, additional brand marks. The new marks, which are an extension of the team’s brand, have been incorporated into new batting practice tops, BP hats, and road jerseys. The BP tops are charcoal with grey sleeves, with “TinCaps” across the chest in cursive and candy apple red in color. The “T” appears like an apple with a stem and leaf. The BP hats are grey with “Ft.W” in script, with the “W” looking like an apple. Meanwhile, the road jerseys are grey with red sleeves. “Ft. Wayne” is written in that cursive candy apple red font with the “F” resembling an apple. Earlier this season the team debuted new home white jerseys (similar to the previous ones but sans pinstripes and with a more readable number font), plus a dark green alternate jersey that says “The Fort” on the front which is being worn for Thursday home games. The team also has added an alternate home hat that has a white front. Since rebranding from the Wizards to the TinCaps when moving into Parkview Field in 2009, this is the first time the team has updated its uniforms. New gear is available for fans in The Orchard Team Store at the ballpark and online at TinCaps.com.
FRANCHISE RECORD: Defensively, the TinCaps set a franchise record by turning 6 double plays on May 11 at Kane County. According to team records, the previous high for double plays turned in a game was 5 (July 17, 2006 vs. Burlington). Fort Wayne’s lineup that day included future major leaguers Will Venable in left field, Kyle Blanks at first base, and David Freese, who was involved in 1 of the DPs, at third.
MIDWEST LEAGUE RECORD: Shortstop Gabriel Arias was involved in turning all 6 double plays for the TinCaps on May 11 at Kane County. According to the Midwest League record book, Arias tied the record for most double plays turned in a game by an individual. Previously, 4 different first baseman were involved in 6 double plays in a game, with the most recent instance occurring in 1996. The only other shortstop to be involved in 6 double plays in a game was Donnie Sadler, who’d spend parts of 8 years in the bigs, for the Michigan Battle Cats (Red Sox) on April 7, 1995, in an 18-inning game. Though Friday night’s game went 12 innings, the 6 double plays were all turned in the first 9 innings.
THE “CINCINNATTI”: The TinCaps turned a bizarre 5-1-3 putout in the bottom of the ninth inning in a dramatic 6-5 win at Dayton on April 27. With the tying run at second and winning run at first, Dayton’s Jeter Downs smashed a hard grounder to TinCaps third baseman Reinaldo Ilarazza. It caromed off his glove toward the mound where left-handed pitcher Travis Radke caught it and in a swift motion fired to Carlos Belen at first, just in time for the out (even though Downs has proven to be one of the fastest players in the league this year). Ironically, 513 is the area code for Cincinnati, which is about an hour away from Dayton, and the Dragons are a Reds affiliate.
BIG CROWDS: The TinCaps drew a season-high 7,559 fans on Saturday night, making it the fifth sellout of the season at Parkview Field, and followed that up with 7,012 fans on Sunday. Fort Wayne ranks 2nd out 60 Single-A teams in total attendance so far this year with 115,464 fans. Only Dayton ranks higher. As of Sunday, the ‘Caps had outdrawn 25/30 Double-A clubs, and 14/30 in Triple-A.
