Meet the New Boss: Cesar Martín comes to the MWL following two seasons managing in the Gulf Coast League, going 39-19 (.672 pct.) in 2015, and 39-17 (.696) last year. Originally signed at age 18 from San Pedro, DR, Martín’s coaching career began as field coordinator for the DSL Blue Jays in 2007-2010 and 2012-2013. Alumni Report: 22 former Lugnuts are currently on MLB rosters, including two Opening Day starters, the Mets’ Noah Syndergaard (2011-12) and the A’s Kendall Graveman (2014-15). Big League Nuts: Two former Lugnuts have made their MLB debut this year, pitchers Chase De Jong (2014-15) and Casey Lawrence (2010-11), appearing for Seattle and Toronto respectively. 119 alumni have now made it to the Majors from 22 years of Lugnuts baseball, dating back to 1996 (17% of the 689 non-MLB rehab players to suit up for Lansing). Bloodlines: Lansing is headlined by two teenagers whose fathers combined for 13 MLB All-Star Game nods, Vladimir Guerrero, Jr. (Vladimir Sr.), and Bo Bichette (Dante Bichette). Both homered in their Lugnuts debuts on Opening Day, a 6-3 Gm. 1 win on April 7th. Rounding Up: The active roster features eight players drafted in the 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th rounds, including both Toronto 2nd-round picks in 2016, J.B. Woodman (57th overall) and Bo Bichette (66th). Third Best at Third Base: Vladimir Guerrero, Jr. is MLB.com’s No. 3 third baseman in the Minor Leagues, trailing only Boston’s Ra- fael Devers and Cincinnati’s Nick Senzel, a former Dayton Dragon. Welcome Back: Ten 2016 Lugnuts are on the active roster, pitchers Geno Encina, Griffin Glaude, Dan Lietz, Justin Maese, Patrick Murphy, Tayler Saucedo and Kirby Snead, catcher Ryan Hissey and outfielders Jake Thomas and J.B. Woodman. Catcher Mi- chael De La Cruz played in Lansing in 2015, and position coach Chris Schaeffer was a Lugs catcher in 2012 and 2014. Tonight: It’s the opener of a three-game series, with Lugnuts right-hander Andy Ravel, fresh off five shutout innings in his first start, taking on former Reds second-round draft pick Tony Santillan. Lansing is coming off losing two of three games at home to Lake County, including a 17-5 rout on Saturday. If the Lugnuts Win... it would be their 1,487th win in team history, 13 away from 1500... it would halt a two-game losing streak... it would tie the Lugnuts and the Dayton Dragons atop the Midwest League’s Eastern Division... it would give the Lugnuts 149 wins in 277 all-time meetings with the Dragons. On the Air: Jesse Goldberg-Strassler and Chris Jared have the call of the game on the new flagship station for Lugnuts baseball, The Game 730 AM WVFN, and via the Tune-In Radio app, streaming online at lansinglugnuts.com and thegame730am.com. Pregame begins at 6:45 p.m. On Deck: The Lugnuts play the Dragons each of the next two nights in Dayton before returning to Cooley Law School Stadium to open a seven-game homestand against Bowling Green and South Bend.

Page 1: lansing lugnuts media notes Game #11, Road Game …...the minimum. Tayler Saucedo took care of the final six batter, including five strikeouts, in a Game 1 shutout win for the Lugnuts,

Meet the New Boss: Cesar Martín comes to the MWL following two seasons managing in the Gulf Coast League, going 39-19 (.672 pct.) in 2015, and 39-17 (.696) last year. Originally signed at age 18 from San Pedro, DR, Martín’s coaching career began as field coordinator for the DSL Blue Jays in 2007-2010 and 2012-2013.

Alumni Report: 22 former Lugnuts are currently on MLB rosters, including two Opening Day starters, the Mets’ Noah Syndergaard (2011-12) and the A’s Kendall Graveman (2014-15).

Big League Nuts: Two former Lugnuts have made their MLB debut this year, pitchers Chase De Jong (2014-15) and Casey Lawrence (2010-11), appearing for Seattle and Toronto respectively. 119 alumni have now made it to the Majors from 22 years of Lugnuts baseball, dating back to 1996 (17% of the 689 non-MLB rehab players to suit up for Lansing).

Bloodlines: Lansing is headlined by two teenagers whose fathers combined for 13 MLB All-Star Game nods, Vladimir Guerrero, Jr. (Vladimir Sr.), and Bo Bichette (Dante Bichette). Both homered in their Lugnuts debuts on Opening Day, a 6-3 Gm. 1 win on April 7th.

Rounding Up: The active roster features eight players drafted in the 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th rounds, including both Toronto 2nd-round picks in 2016, J.B. Woodman (57th overall) and Bo Bichette (66th).

Third Best at Third Base: Vladimir Guerrero, Jr. is MLB.com’s No. 3 third baseman in the Minor Leagues, trailing only Boston’s Ra-fael Devers and Cincinnati’s Nick Senzel, a former Dayton Dragon.

Welcome Back: Ten 2016 Lugnuts are on the active roster, pitchers Geno Encina, Griffin Glaude, Dan Lietz, Justin Maese, Patrick Murphy, Tayler Saucedo and Kirby Snead, catcher Ryan Hissey and outfielders Jake Thomas and J.B. Woodman. Catcher Mi-chael De La Cruz played in Lansing in 2015, and position coach Chris Schaeffer was a Lugs catcher in 2012 and 2014.

Tonight: It’s the opener of a three-game series, with Lugnuts right-hander Andy Ravel, fresh off five shutout innings in his first start, taking on former Reds second-round draft pick Tony Santillan. Lansing is coming off losing two of three games at home to Lake County, including a 17-5 rout on Saturday.

If the Lugnuts Win... it would be their 1,487th win in team history, 13 away from 1500... it would halt a two-game losing streak... it would tie the Lugnuts and the Dayton Dragons atop the Midwest League’s Eastern Division... it would give the Lugnuts 149 wins in 277 all-time meetings with the Dragons.

On the Air: Jesse Goldberg-Strassler and Chris Jared have the call of the game on the new flagship station for Lugnuts baseball, The Game 730 AM WVFN, and via the Tune-In Radio app, streaming online at lansinglugnuts.com and thegame730am.com. Pregame begins at 6:45 p.m.

On Deck: The Lugnuts play the Dragons each of the next two nights in Dayton before returning to Cooley Law School Stadium to open a seven-game homestand against Bowling Green and South Bend. The homestand begins with a Labatt Thirsty Thursday on April 20th, featuring $2 beers/sodas and half off craft beer.

Last Start: In his Midwest League debut, Ravel, his last name pronunced as if it rhymed with “gravel,” expertly blanked the Bowling Green Hot Rods over a professional high five innings, allowing only three hits and facing the minimum. Tayler Saucedo took care of the final six batter, including five strikeouts, in a Game 1 shutout win for the Lugnuts, 4-0, at Bowling Green Ballpark.

2016 Pro Debut: Upon joining Class SS-A Vancouver, Andy Ravel was placed into a piggybacking role with fellow 2016 draftee Mike Ellenbest, with neither one pitching far beyond three innings. In his Minor League debut, June 26th, Ravel pitched three scoreless innings of relief, picking up the win in a 5-1 Vancouver Canadians victory. He made his first professional start six days later, allowing one run in three innings in a no-decision against Spokane. Andy’s final stats were skewed by his last two appearances of the year, giving up nine runs in 5 1/3 combined innings after allowing nine runs in his first 26 1/3 innings (3.08 ERA). Thou Shalt Not Steal: In 2016, eight base runners attempted steals against Ravel -- and seven of those eight were caught. On April 12th, in his first 2017 start, the trend continued. Three Bowling Green Hot Rods were thrown out on the bases: Eleardo Cabrera was caught stealing second, Lucius Fox was picked off first base, and Cabrera was thrown out attempting to move up on a ball in the dirt.

Come On Down: Ravel was selected out of Kent State University in the 7th round, 222nd overall last year, 12 picks after Hot Rods prospect J.D. Busfield.

Personal: In his spare time, Andy enjoys golfing and listening to gospel music... his favorite baseball player is Robinson Cano... majored in Sports Administration at Kent State... his favorite TV shows are Friends and Prison Break.

Rave(l) Reviews: Andy starred at Wilson High School, where he posted a 23-6 career record and was named 2013 All-Conference, All-State and a Rawlings-Perfect Game Honorable Mention All-American as a senior. At the same time, he played summer and fall ball for the (Berks County) Grand Slam Blue Rocks, the nation’s No. 23 club baseball team. In addition to baseball, Ravel was a member of the Wilson football, golf and wrestling teams.

Par For the Course: Wilson H.S. is used to athletic excellence. Other Bulldog athletes include NFL players Chad Henne, Kerry Collins and John Gilmore Jr., Olympic speed skater Allison Baver, and Olympic field hockey star Katie Beach.

College Bound: Drafted in the 21st round by the Arizona Diamondbacks and facing offers from Penn State and Pittsburgh (where he would have pitched with 2016 Blue Jays 1st-rounder T.J. Zeuch), Ravel chose to matriculate at Kent State University. During his freshman year, he went 3-1 with a 2.78 ERA in 35.2 IP, follow-ing up with a 6-2, 3.13 ERA in 74.2 IP as a sophomore. In his final year, as a junior with the Golden Flashes, he earned Second Team All-MAC as the Saturday starter: 8-4, 3.36, 91.0 IP, 77 strikeouts, 20 walks. His best collegiate start, arguably, occured against Buffalo on May 7: a nine-inning shutout, featuring five hits, three walks, seven strikeouts, and zero earned runs.

Good Company: Andy shared KSU staff responsibilities with southpaw Eric Lauer, the Golden Flash’s Friday starter, who was drafted 25th overall by the San Diego Padres. Lauer made one appearance last year for the Fort Wayne TinCaps and is now currently pitching for A-Adv. Lake Elsinore in the California League.

Golden Flash Pride: Notable Kent State alumni in the MLB ranks include Al Oliver, Thurman Munson, Steve Stone, Dustin Hermanson, Andy Sonnanstine, Dirk Hayhurst, and Gene “Stick” Michael, who later managed both the New York Yankees and the Chicago Cubs before becoming Yankees general manager from 1991-1995.
