BUCKLE UP YOUR CHINSTRAPS Padre rookie starters made 67 starts in 2018, the third-most of any rookie rotation behind TB (71) and MIA (73)...their 294 SO ranked second, their 324.0 IP ranked third, and they finished the campaign with a 17-26 record and a 5.00 ERA (180 ER, 324.0 IP)...Joey Lucchesi (145 SO) and Eric Lauer (100 SO) became the first pair of Padre rookies to surpass the 100-strikeout mark in the same season since Bob Shirley and Bob Owchinko in 1977...Lauer also led the majors in pickoffs (10), and the Padres combined for 20 pickoffs, tying with CHC for the most of any club... Lucchesi became the 19th rookie in Padres history to reach the 20-start plateau in a single season, and Lauer became the 20th rookie to do so, marking the first time SD has had two rookies make 20-or-more starts since 1977. WELL THAT WAS ALL-TIME In 2018, the Padres bullpen had the most innings pitched (635.0), strikeouts (720), the highest SO/9 IP (10.20) and the highest SO/BB ratio (3.48) of any relief crew in San Diego history...their 3.51 ERA in '18 ranked sixth in the majors and third in the NL (behind just CHC's 3.35 and MIL's 3.47 marks)...their 2.93 BB/9 IP and their 1.19 WHIP both led the NL and ranked third in the ML...Padre rookie relievers appeared in 252 games (third in ML), working 282.2 IP with 327 SO (second in ML behind TB's 469) and a NL-best 64.1 first-pitch strike percentage...the relief corps combined for 8.8 WAR, the best in team history and trailing only the Yankees (9.7) as the best in the ML this year. ¡VAMOS VILLANUEVA! Following his performance in the month of April, Christian Villanuevawas awarded the NL Rookie of the Month, becoming the first Padre to earn the accolade since Ryan Schimpf in July of 2016...in 22 games in April, he led all rookies in BA (.338), OBP (.430), SLG (.730), hits (25), HR (eight) and RBI (19)...his 20 HR were the most of any Mexican-born rookie in single campaign, and his 46 RBI tied with TEX Benji Gil's mark in 1995 for the most. PADRES ON DECK Ranked as the No. 1 Farm System by MLB Pipeline, the "Top Organization" in baseball by Baseball America and the "Top Farm System" by The Athletic, a number of Padres prospects saw banner seasons in 2018...Fernando Tatis Jr., Luis Urías and Buddy Reed represented the Padres in the Futures Game in Washington D.C., while Francisco Mejía was also named to the World roster and represented CLE (acquired by SD five days later on 7/19)...a multitude of the top players in the organization participated in the Don Welke On Deck Classic on 9/27 at Petco Park (in which SD fell 5-3 vs. prospects from TEX)...Tatis Jr., though he sustained a season-ending left-thumb fracture on 7/19, was dubbed as The Athletic's Minor League Infielder of the Year, the Padres Best Hitting Prospect of the Year by MLB Pipeline and was named to the Yahoo!

  • Records and History
    Records and History Old Dominion University Baseball 2009 Old Dominion University Baseball 2009 27 BUD METHENY n Jan 2, 2003 Old Dominion University and the athletic program lost a legend with the passing of Bud MethenyO and his wife Fran on the same day. Bud spent 32 years at the University from 1948 to 1980 as an instructor, basketball coach, athletic director and coach of the baseball program. Baseball was his passion, and where he made his mark. As a member of the New York Yankees from 1937 to 1946, Bud played on the 1943 World Series championship squad that stopped St. Louis. Bud started for the Yankees in the second and last game of the series. As a coach of the Monarchs, he rolled up a 423‑363‑6 record and was honored by the NCAA as the Eastern Regional coach of the year in 1963 and ‘64 and National Coach Of the Year in 1964. His Monarchs won the NCAA College Division Eastern Regional championship in 1963 and 1964 and took second in 1965. Bud not only coached baseball, but he was the men’s basketball head coach from 1948‑1965, compiling a 198‑163 record and posting 16 winning seasons. He served as the University’s athletic director from 1963‑1970. Following his retirement it was only fitting to honor Bud with the naming of the new baseball stadium in 1983 and with the adoption of the blue and white pin stripes of the Yankees on uniforms the following year, which coincides with the University’s new school colors, adopted in 1986.

    2021 swb railriders 2021 swb railriders triple-a information On February 12, 2021, Major League Baseball announced its new plan for affiliated baseball, with 120 Minor League clubs officially agreeing to join the new Professional Development League (PDL). 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.

  • Weekly Notes 072817
    MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL WEEKLY NOTES FRIDAY, JULY 28, 2017 BLACKMON WORKING TOWARD HISTORIC SEASON On Sunday afternoon against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Coors Field, Colorado Rockies All-Star outfi elder Charlie Blackmon went 3-for-5 with a pair of runs scored and his 24th home run of the season. With the round-tripper, Blackmon recorded his 57th extra-base hit on the season, which include 20 doubles, 13 triples and his aforementioned 24 home runs. Pacing the Majors in triples, Blackmon trails only his teammate, All-Star Nolan Arenado for the most extra-base hits (60) in the Majors. Blackmon is looking to become the fi rst Major League player to log at least 20 doubles, 20 triples and 20 home runs in a single season since Curtis Granderson (38-23-23) and Jimmy Rollins (38-20-30) both accomplished the feat during the 2007 season. Since 1901, there have only been seven 20-20-20 players, including Granderson, Rollins, Hall of Famers George Brett (1979) and Willie Mays (1957), Jeff Heath (1941), Hall of Famer Jim Bottomley (1928) and Frank Schulte, who did so during his MVP-winning 1911 season. Charlie would become the fi rst Rockies player in franchise history to post such a season. If the season were to end today, Blackmon’s extra-base hit line (20-13-24) has only been replicated by 34 diff erent players in MLB history with Rollins’ 2007 season being the most recent. It is the fi rst stat line of its kind in Rockies franchise history. Hall of Famer Lou Gehrig is the only player in history to post such a line in four seasons (1927-28, 30-31).
