Deybi Salcedo got the start for the FCL Sox.

Salcedo turns 20 on July 5th & was a late signing last season, signing for $10k on July 3rd.

The 6'1 RHP from Payita, DR had really good results in his 8 games & 13.1 innings, putting up a 1.35 ERA, 0.53 WHIP, 1.4 bb/9 & 12.8 k/9.

One thing I just noticed about his usage is that right when they picked him up he pitched 1 inning or less in his 1st 5 games, & then in the final 3 he went 2 innings, 3 innings & then 4 innings -- so they could see him as a starter who just needed building up.

Deybi did not have great control today but it worked out:

3 IP
0 runs
2 hits
4 bb
2 k

Next they brought in Ovis Portes, who missed all but a smidgeon of '23 with injury & pitched 4.1 innings & allowed 6 ER in the DSL last year.

As maybe the only known PORTES stan, I was excited to see this:

3 IP
0 runs
1 hit
1 bb
4 k

The 6'4 RHP from Antigua signed for $25k in March '22.

Speaking of pitchers who missed most of last year who I irrationally stan for, Willian Colmenares pitched the 7th & final inning with a walk, a wild pitch & a strikeout.

The FCL Sox won 2-0.

Colmenares is a 6' RHP from Trujillo, VZ who signed for $125k in January '22. He pitched 10 innings in the FCL last season after returning from injury, with a 5.40 ERA & more walks than strikeouts.

Colmenares turned 19 in January.

Raimundo De Los Santos was 2-4 with 2 steals (3) & a cs.

Franyer Noria was 0-1 with a walk, a hbp & a steal, & he showed scored both of the runs in the game.

Karim Ayubi & Kelvin Diaz were 1-2 with a walk.

Yohander Linarez was 1-3.

Franklin Arias was 1-4.

Andruw Musett was 0-2 with a walk before coming out of the game a bit early for Gerardo Rodriguez to finish the game at catcher. Hopefully not injury related.
