2022 LOW SINGLE-A LAKE ELSINORE STORM
#11 · August 25, 2022, 11:03 am
These seem to be the kids to watch at Lake Elsinore ... from today's DFR ...
Playing in just his second game of full-season ball, outfielder Jakob Marsee hit in the lead-off spot and reached base four times. He had two hits, two walks, and stole a base — his second in as many nights. The Padres selected Marsee in the seventh round. The former Central Michigan star was batting .212/.447/.303 in the ACL before his promotion. … It seems like every writer at MadFriars has to echo the statement at least once a week: Marcos Castañon is good at baseball. Castañon hit his 21st home run of the season and drew three walks. With a pair of RBI, Castañon now has 80 on the season. Castañon is quietly playing at his best with runners in scoring position. With a runner on second this year, Castañon is hitting .351/.500/622 on the season. … Shortstop Jackson Merrill moved down to second in the order and delivered a three-hit game – all singles – and scored a pair of runs. Merrill, 19, saw his 10-game hitting streak end on Tuesday night with an 0-for-5 night. Wednesday marked Merrill’s fourth three-hit game of August. The former first-rounder is hitting .316/.381/.487 this month.

Surprised Castanon did not make either the Baseball America or MLB Pipeline top 30 list. Certainly not a top prospect but seems to deserve at least a place somewhere on the lower end of our top 30.

Watched him play a couple times. I think he can make his way up the top 30. His fielding at 3B is very good..obviously has raw power to boot..and anyone who hits with RISP is a need in SD (lol).. I see him in our top 20 soon.. and if he has a similar A+/AA season next yr . Will be top 15 for sure

Storm go up 1-0 in Game 1 of the semifinals between Lake Elsinore and Inland Empire ... video of both of Doersching's HRs here ...

Doersching finished 3-for-5 with three RBIs and three runs scored. Top-ranked Padres prospect Jackson Merrill (No. 87 overall) collected a pair of knocks, a walk, one RBI, a run and two stolen bases. Nathan Martorella, the club's 29th-ranked prospect, drove in a pair of runs with a single in the ninth.
On the hill, San Diego's seventh-ranked prospect Victor Lizarraga allowed two runs on three hits and a pair of walks while striking out nine over 5 2/3 frames for Lake Elsinore. Will Geerdes nailed down the save with 3 1/3 hitless innings, walking two and striking out a pair.

From today's DFR ...
Outfielder Samuel Zavala left the game with what appeared to be an injury to his wrist after his first at-bat. The talented 18-year-old immediately winced after he fouled a ball off, then was removed from the field.

Got tickets to the game tomorrow night. Hope to see them clinch the Southern part of the California League with a big win on Thursday. Sad not going to see Samuel Zavala play but certain he'll start 2023 there.
