A few more notes from yesterday's scrimmage at Cunningham Field on the beautiful U of San Diego campus.
Phillip Pfeifer threw a tuneup inning for the East team, showing great command and throwing in the high 80s with a sharp breaking ball. Jake Reed also threw three innings for the East team. He gave up a grand slam to Billy Flamion, but settled down and looked very good the last inning he was on the mound. Flamion hit a laser off the building behind the right centerfield wall.
Josh Tobias had a couple hits and stole two bases. Sean Trent, Austin Slater, and Cameron Gallagher all had hits for the East and Franciso Lindor drove in a run with a sac fly. Blake Swihart, Phillip Evans each had a hit, while Shawon Dunston Jr. doubled along with Flamion's homerun for the West team.
Other highlights included Cameron Gallagher throwing out a runner trying to steal with a quick, accurate, strong throw. Javier Baez made a big league play at 3B on a slow roller. Francisco Lindor looks very much like he might be the top true shortstop in next year's draft. He has plenty of arm, outstanding actions, soft quick hands and feet. He also can hit from both sides of the plate.
