However, beginning with a 1-for-2 performance against Lehigh Valley that night, Dietrich has been on a tear at the plate in his last 15 games, batting .350/.536/.575 June 26 Coca-Cola Park 6:35 p.m. (14-for-40) with 10 R, 3 2B, 2 HR, and 11 RBIs. The run of success at the bat has improved his season batting line June 27 Coca-Cola Park 1:35 p.m. to .212/.409/.374, a 230-point leap in OPS. Dietrich ranks 8th among qualified Triple-A East hitters in OBP. August 10 PNC Field 7:05 p.m. August 11 PNC Field 7:05 p.m. RE-WRITING THE RECORD BOOK: RailRiders outfielderTrey Amburgey made RailRiders history Thursday night, reaching base safely three times August 12 PNC Field 7:05 p.m. to extend his on-base streak to 33 games. In doing so, he passed Brandon Drury, who had a 32-game on-base streak in the 2018 season for the longest such streak in the RailRiders era (2013 - Present). Here is a look inside the numbers during Trey’s incredible run: August 13 PNC Field 7:05 p.m. • The streak began on August 26, 2019, when Amburgey went 1-for-3 with a HBP at the Pawtucket Red Sox. August 14 PNC Field 6:05 p.m. • He has hit .361/.436/.647 during the streak, with 27 R, 11 2B, 1 3B, 7 HR, 37 RBI, 14 BB, 34 K and 4 HBP. August 15 PNC Field 1:05 p.m. • The streak has included nine multi-hit games and 11 multi-RBI games. August 24 Coca-Cola Park 7:05 p.m. • During the streak, Amburgey has only gone hitless two times (8/31/19 vs BUF; 6/15/21 vs SYR). In those games he has reached base on a walk August 25 Coca-Cola Park 7:05 p.m. and was hit by two pitches. He also has two RBIs in those hitless contests. August 26 Coca-Cola Park 7:05 p.m. • Amburgey had a 20-game hitting streak from 9/1/19 to 6/13/21 as part of the longer on-base streak, snapped on 6/15 vs Syracuse. August 27 Coca-Cola Park 7:05 p.m. Wednesday night, Amburgey passed Jake Cave (31 G, 2017) to move into a tie with Drury for the longest streak in the RailRiders era. • August 28 Coca-Cola Park 6:35 p.m. OTHER STREAKS OF NOTE: In addition to Trey Amburgey’s impressive stretch, the RailRiders offense features two other players with double-digit August 29 Coca-Cola Park 1:35 p.m. on-base streaks. Outfielder Greg Allen is riding a season-long 20-game on-base streak into play on Saturday night, and infielder Hoy Park has September 14 Coca-Cola Park 7:05 p.m. reached base safely in 21 consecutive games. Allen has also played in two other games this season in which he did not record an official plate September 15 Coca-Cola Park 7:05 p.m. appearance, therefore not jeopardizing his streak, and spent time on the injured list in the middle of his streak. Park sports a .510 OBP during his September 16 Coca-Cola Park 7:05 p.m. streak, which has propelled him to the Triple-A East lead in OBP (.489) and OPS (1.097), third in the league in AVG (.343), and fourth in SLG (.608). September 17 Coca-Cola Park 7:05 p.m. The infielder also ranks t-5th in Triple-A East in walks (27) with Nolan Jones of Columbus and Brent Rooker of St. Paul. September 18 Coca-Cola Park 7:05 p.m. ON THE ROAD AGAIN: The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders continue their longest road trip of the season, a 12-game, 13-day extravaganza first September 19 Coca-Cola Park 7:05 p.m. bringing SWB to Allentown, PA for a six-game set with the Lehigh Valley IronPigs. The second leg of the trip takes the RailRiders to the farthest outpost in the Triple-A East Northeast Division: Worcester, MA. It will be SWB’s first trip to Worcester in franchise history, with six games scheduled 2019 results: Lehigh Valley, 11-7 with the Worcester Red Sox at the brand-new Polar Park. The RailRiders also have one other 12-game, 13-day road trip, from August 17-29 against all-time series: RailRiders Lead 116-104 Worcester and Lehigh Valley. Scranton/Wilkes-Barre hosts three 12-game homestands throughout the season. OH WHAT A RELIEF IT IS!: Since Kyle Barraclough relieved Albert Abreu in the sixth inning of the RailRiders game at Buffalo on Friday, June 11, railriders at a glance the SWB bullpen has performed at an amazing clip. In the last 14 days, the bullpen has combined for a 1.82 ERA (13 ER/64.1 IP), while allowing just 44 hits, 19 walks and recording 79 strikeouts. The current stretch has lowered SWB’s bullpen ERA to 2.94 on the season, the seventh-best in all of minor league baseball, and third-best in Triple-A East (1st: Buffalo, 2.81). RailRiders closerLuis García leads all minor leaguers with 11 saves 2021 regular season: 30-13 on the season, and is one of only three pitchers with double-digit saves this year.

  • Gone: Minor League Baseball Franchise Relocations in the Northeast
    PROCEEDINGS - AAG MIDDLE STATES DIVISION· VOL. 21, 1988 GOING, GOING~ GONE: MINOR LEAGUE BASEBALL FRANCHISE RELOCATIONS IN THE NORTHEAST Jonathan I. Leib Syracuse University Department of Geography Syracuse, NY 13244 Within the past five years a number of cities in the northeast have explored the possibility of building baseball parks in order to attract minor league baseball franchises. In New York State, Binghamton, Buffalo, and Brooklyn have examined the economic feasibility of building their own stadia. Such studies have also be carried out in Scranton, Pennsylvania; Springfield, Massachusetts; and Wilmington, Delaware. The main public sector expense involved in trying to attract a minor league baseball franchise is the building and maintenance of a baseball stadium. However, Okner argues that stadia and arenas occupied by major league franchises do not generally operate at a profit. 1 Rees, Greytak, and Leib make the same argument for minor league ballparks.2 One reason why minor league stadia do not generally operate at a profit is that attendance at games is substantially lower than in the major leagues. In 1988, for example, the average major league team drew over two million fans. At the highest level of the minor leagues (AAA classification) the average team drew just under 320,000 spectators, while at the middle level (AA classification), the average team drew about 150,000 fans. 3 Given the possible low return from attendance receipts, it is not surprising that a city government may hesitate to build an expensive stadium. Although a stadium that is intended for a minor league team generally loses money, a baseball franchise does bring benefits to a community.

So the White Sox Minor League catching coordinator studied some of Collins' work as he played for the University of Miami in the College World Series. Orton immediately liked what he saw. "I thought his hands work good, and he blocked the ball pretty well. He doesn't look stiff back there," said Orton, speaking about Collins during this week's hitters' minicamp at Camelback Ranch. "So right away I was pleasantly surprised. "Everyone talked about his bat, which is his strength. But I think he's going to be a very good catcher. I see no reason why he shouldn't be an above-average Major League catcher someday." White Sox prospect Zack Collins talks about his focus on improving his skills with batting and as a catcher during the Arizona Fall League Collins, who's rated as the club's No.
