Are you ready for a lot of box scores? Geeze, eight teams and three days of games...it took a while.
Brett Oberholtzer and Bobby Doran both made their first starts since being promoted and neither had good results but did a few things to build on like induce groundballs. ObieHockey didn't really get much help since his infield defense consisted of Brett Wallace at 3B (that's fine), Jordan Kreke at SS (pushing it a bit, he looks fine there although I didn't see him get challenged much), Scott Moore at 2B (this is pushing it), and Mike Hessman at 1B (regular position but a great defender).
I think one of the biggest news is that Delino DeShields Jr. has set the Lexington Legends single-season stolen base record at 49! DDJ has put together a very good season so far and great in respect to what he did last season. This season is what many were expecting last season, but given how raw and young he is, I'll take it a year later. His batting average is up nearly 50 points from last season (.220-.268) and his OBP is up nearly 70 points (.305-.372). As for power, he's easily going to surpass his doubles and already has for triples, while equaling the HR pace for a SLG% thats 51 points higher than last season (.322-.373). Although, that leaves ISO just three points higher. But, power takes a while to develop and I'm more than ok with him focusing on making consistent contact to get on-base to use his speed. It's nothing to sneeze at to steal 49 bases and get caught just 7 times.
