The groundball single from Yankees prospect Brandon Lockridge knocked him out of the game. Sam Coonrod then finished up the one-hit shutout. Vasil, a Futures Game pick this year, has a 4.52 ERA and a 102/30 K/BB ratio in 89 2/3 innings between Double- and Triple-A. It’s possible he could make his MLB debut before the end of the season, but it seems unlikely, since he’s already surpassed his career high for innings and he’s not on the 40-man roster.

Garver victimized Connor Brogdon in the sixth inning of this one, jumping on a first pitch fastball and crushing it for a 358-foot (106.1 mph EV) two-run shot that gave the Mariners a 4-2 lead. That would be his only hit in three trips to the plate in the ballgame. For the spring, Garver is hitting .400 (6-for-15) with a pair of long balls and three RBI.

Woo allowed just one hit and one walk on the evening. He struck out the side in order in the first inning — Taylor Ward and Christian Moore on swinging third strikes, then Ryan Noda on a called third. He struck out the side again in the second inning, though it was sandwiched around a double and an error that time. The 25-year-old right-hander got a whopping 10 swings and misses on 37 pitches in the ballgame — six on his fastball — while posting an absolutely absurd 54 percent CSW. As long as he’s able to avoid the injured list, Woo is going to deliver fantasy managers a substantial profit in 2025.

Paris delivered a clutch bases-clearing double in the seventh inning that gave the Angels a 5-4 lead. That would wind up being the extent of their scoring in the ballgame though. What’s interesting is that Paris saw work in center field in this one, indicating that the Angels think he could be an option to play out there if Mickey Moniak struggles to start the season.

The veteran right-hander piled up three strikeouts on the evening while allowing one base on balls. He got through the first two innings unscathed, but the Mariners finally broke through in the third on run-scoring singles from Ben Williamson and Randy Arozarena. Hendricks got six swings and misses on 60 pitches on the night — three of them on his fastball which averaged just 85.9 mph — while registering a CSW of 32 percent. He’ll eat innings for the Angels but it’s very unlikely that Hendricks returns to any sort of fantasy relevance in his first season with teh Halos.

Mitchell smacked an RBI single off of Jeffrey Springs in the third inning that extended the Brewers’ early advantage to 2-0. He then deftly swiped second base before getting stranded at third. He then tacked on a two-run single in the fifth that made it a 5-0 ballgame. The 26-year-old outfielder is having an impressive spring thus far, hitting .353 (6-for-17) with a homer, four RBI and one stolen base.

The 22-year-old hurler made it look effortless in this one, carving up the Athletics’ lineup from top to bottom. He struck out Brent Rooker, Zack Gelof and Denzel Clarke, got Esteury Ruiz on a ground ball to second base and the other five outs came on fly balls or pop outs. The Brewers’ signing of Jose Quintana likely means that Misiorowski’s likeliest path to the big leagues in 2025 could come as a weapon out of the bullpen. The more that he dominates in Cactus League play though, the more opportunities will be afforded to him.

As a team, the A’s were only able to scratch out three total hits in the game, with Rooker’s single coming off of Brewers’ closer Trevor Megill in the fourth inning. He’s off to a bit of a slow start in Cactus League play, hitting just .222 (4-for-18) with three RBI and he’s still looking for his first home run.

Springs struck out two on the evening. The Brewers scratched out an unearned run against him in the first inning as Caleb Durbin and William Contreras executed a double steal and the ball was overthrown at third base allowing Durbin to score. They scratched out another run against him in the third utilizing a walk, fielder’s choice, error, single combination. The 32-year-old hurler has had mixed results so far this spring, posting a 1.42 ERA, a cringe-inducing 1.89 WHIP and a 5/5 K/BB ratio over 6 1/3 innings. The inconsistencies are to be expected following his return from Tommy John surgery.

Naylor led off the second inning with a 413-foot (103.9 mph EV) solo shot off of Diamondbacks’ right-hander Ryne Nelson, giving the Guardians an early 1-0 lead that they wouldn’t relinquish. He then swatted a 389-foot (98.3 mph EV) three-run blast off of Gerardo Gutierrez third inning, making Naylor responsible for all of the scoring in the ballgame. With the two-hit attack, the dynamic 25-year-old backstop is now hitting .263 (5-for-19) with two long balls, six RBI and a stolen base on the spring.

The 26-year-old right-hander punched out three opposing hitters in the ballgame. He generated three swings and misses on just 37 pitches on the night — two of those on his fastball — while registering a CSW of 30 percent. Bibee’s fastball velocity was down a tick in this one, averaging 93.5 mph after averaging 94.6 mph during the 2024 season, though that can be chalked up to it being his first start of the spring. Bibee’s draft cost continues to hover right around pick 100, putting him inside the top 30 starting pitchers overall.
