Minor League Recap: Kahlil Watson Continues To Impress

· Yahoo Sports

Columbus Clippers 9, Iowa Cubs 4

It was a great day for the Clippers offense, we saw contributions from a lot of prospects. Kahlil Watson went 3-3 with a HR and continues to prove that he is very close to deserving a call up to the big leagues. He has destroyed AA/AAA pitching for over a year now, his OPS is up to .944 on the season. Travis Bazzana also seems to be getting comfortable, he went 2-4 with a strikeout and a walk. Stuart Fairchild went 3-4, and Milan Tolentino went 2-4 with two HRs of his own.

Logan Allen allowed 4 runs on 7 hits but did also have 7 strikeouts in the 4 innings he pitched. His ERA is up to 5.93 on the season. Collin Holderman, Tanner Burns, and Jake Miller combined for 5 scoreless innings of relief.

Akron RubberDucks 3, Harrisburg Senators 0

The story of this game was how well top pitching prospect Khal Stephen looked. Despite walking 5 batters, he was absolutely dominant while striking out 6 and not allowing a single hit. His ERA is down to 0.71 on the season and we could be having a conversation very soon about him starting some games in Cleveland this summer. Magnus Ellerts and Carter Rustad had two scoreless innings of relief.

Angel Genao continues his hot start with a 2-3 and a BB performance today. He is looking more and more like the player we thought he was after the 2024 season before playing with an injury in 2025. He’s up to a .314 average and a .986 OPS on the season.

Hill City Howlers 6, Wilson Warbirds 3

Juneiker Caceres appears to be heating up after a somewhat slow start in Single A. He went 2-5 today with two doubles and his OPS is up to .717 on the season, I fully expect that to continue to climb. Robert Arias went 3-4 with two RBIs and is now hitting .273 with a .703 OPS on the season.

Nelson Keljo had another awesome start, striking out 7 batters in just 3.2 innings and allowing two runs. His ERA is at 2.35 on the season. Zane Petty, Keegan Zinn, and Angel Perez combined for 5.1 innings of relief and allowed just one run.
