Page 2: THURSDAY, JULY 7, 2016 vs. LOS ANGELES ANGELSmlb.mlb.com/documents/2/2/6/188475226/7_7_16_PREGAME... · 2020-04-20 · Angels are 14-9 at Tropicana Field (and are 6-1 in series play);

Ê LAST START—On Sat vs. DET, allowed 4 hits, his fewest since his major league debut on April 23 at NYY (2)…yielded 3 BB in the 2nd, matching the most by a Ray in an inning this season (last Jake Odor-izzi on June 8 at ARI, 2nd inning)…runs scored on a Jose Iglesias RBI single (2nd), Ian Kinsler solo homer (5th) and Jarrod Saltal-amacchia sac fly (6th)…threw 60.4 percent of his pitches for strikes, 2nd-highest rate of his career…his line: L, 5.1 IP, 4 H, 3 R, 4 BB, 4 SO, 1 HR, 101 pitches, 61 strikes.

Ê NO HOMERS CLUB—The solo homer by Ian Kinsler is his only one allowed in 25.2 IP…didn’t allow one in his first 4 starts, which was the 2nd-longest streak to start a player’s career in franchise history…the only one longer was James Shields, who didn’t allow one in his first 6 starts…that streak of 4 straight starts without a homer remains the longest by a Rays starting pitcher at any point this season.

Ê WINS & LOSSES—Has suffered the loss in three of his first 5 career apps, one of 6 in club history to do that…joins Chris Archer (2012), De-won Brazelton (2002-03), Luis de los Santos (2012), Delvin James (2002) and Dan Wheeler (1999)…and for the record, Brazelton and Wheeler are the only Rays to ever lose 4 of their first 6 career apps.

Ê BOX SCORE ODDITY—His walk total has matched his strikeout total in each of his last 4 starts…other Rays starters have had an equal amount of walks and strikeouts a combined 4 times in their 79 games started this season—yet Snell has done it in 4 consecutive starts…other Rays to do it are Jake Odorizzi (twice), Matt Andriese (once) and Chris Archer (once).

Ê FREEBIES—Has yielded unearned runs in 2 of his 5 starts, and his defense has made 6 errors behind him through his 25.2 IP…allowed 5 unearned runs through the first 3 games of his career—the most a Rays starter ever allowed in his first 3 games…by contrast, LAD Clay-ton Kershaw went 40 starts before allowing his first unearned run and didn’t allow his fifth unearned run until his 72nd start.

Ê BALLS & STRIKES—Through his first 5 career starts, 58.6 percent of his pitches have been strikes…FanGraphs shows he is getting fewer swings overall and fewer swings on pitches out of the zone than the

league average…his first-pitch strike pct. and swing-and-miss rate are also lower than league averages…see below.

Snell MLB Avg. Diff.Strike % 58.6 63.4 4.8Opp Swing % 39.2 46.3 7.1Opp Swing % (outside zone) 24.1 29.4 5.3First-Pitch Strike % 56.7 60.3 3.6Swing-and-Miss % 5.9 10.0 4.1

Ê NO. 4—Is wearing No. 4 on his jersey, the first pitcher in Rays history to don a single digit…previous lowest was Hideo Nomo, who wore No. 11 in 2005…recent single-digit numbers worn by pitchers include COL Adam Ottavino (No. 0), TOR Marcus Stroman (No. 6), LAD Julio Urias (No. 7) and STL Mike Leake (No. 8)…according to the Tampa Bay Times, No. 4 has been his favorite since he started playing youth sports…wore No. 11 in the minors because he knew it was customary for pitchers to wear double digits…with Logan Forsythe wearing No. 11, decided to go back to No. 4.

Ê WITH DURHAM—Went 3-5 with a 3.29 ERA (63-IP, 23-ER) in 12 starts…at the time of his recall, his 90 SO led the IL and ranked 2nd in the minors…also led the IL with 12.9 SO/9 IP.

Ê PRIZED PROSPECT—Entered the season rated as the Rays No. 1 prospect by Baseball America, the No. 12 overall prospect in baseball and the No. 2 LHP prospect in the game behind LAD Julio Urias.

Ê BANNER YEAR—Went a combined 15-4 with a 1.41 ERA and 163 SO across three levels in 2015, becoming the ninth player (fifth pitcher) to win both Baseball America and USA Today Minor League Player of the Year honors…the previous eight players: CHC Kris Bryant (2014), KC Wil Myers (2012), TB Jeremy Hellickson (2010), ATL Jason Hey-ward (2009), COL Jeff Francis (2004), FLA Josh Beckett (2001), STL Rick Ankiel (1999) and ATL Andruw Jones (1996 and 1995).

Ê BEST IN A DECADE—His 1.41 ERA was the lowest of any full-season pitcher since Tigers RH Justin Verlander’s 1.29 mark in 2005…he also led all minor league pitchers with a .182 opp avg. and ranked 4th in wins and strikeouts…he combined to strike out 31.3 pct. of all BF.

RAYS BULLPEN NOTES#35 MATT ANDRIESE, RH Last App: 7/6 vs. LAA (3.0-IP, 1-H, 0-R, 0-BB, 2-SO) Saves-Opps: -- vs. LH: .198 (17-86), 1-HR2016: 6-2-0, 2.89 ERA, 14 G, 8 GS Long Relief App: 3.0, 2x-last 7/6 vs. LAA IR-RS: 4-1 vs. RH: .252 (35-139), 1-HR

Ê Yesterday vs. LAA threw 32 pitches and marked the second time in 7 days (also June 30 vs. DET) he had 3 scoreless innings in relief…got double play grounders to end the 7th and 8th innings, joining Erasmo Ramirez on April 26 vs. BAL as Rays relievers with 2 GIDP in a game this season.

Ê Both his losses have come over his 6 relief apps but has a 2.77 ERA (13-IP, 4-ER) in relief this season, compared to a 4.75 ERA in relief last year. Ê Has only allowed 2 HR in 62.1 IP for a 0.29 HR/9 IP ratio, 4th in the majors (min. 50 IP) behind McCullers, Mike Montgomery and Rich Hill. Ê Became the fifth Ray to ever start a season at 6-0 or better and remains one of six major league pitchers to do that this season.

#31 XAVIER CEDEÑO, LH Last App: 7/3 vs. DET (BS, 0.1-IP, 2-H, 1-R, 0-BB, 0-SO) Saves-Opps: 0-4 vs. LH: .200 (10-50)2016: 3-2-0, 3.86 ERA, 34 G Long Relief App: 1.1, 5x-last 7/2 vs. DET IR-RS: 17-6 vs. RH: .255 (14-55), 1-HR

Ê Allowed a pair of inherited runners to score and one run of his own on Sun vs. DET on a Victor Martinez force and Justin Upton 2-run double. Ê Ranks 2nd on the team with 34 apps…the Rays have been tied or ahead in 29 of his 34 apps…has only yielded multiple runs in two of 34 apps. Ê Has made 20 apps this season of at least 1 IP (58.8 pct.), compared to 41 pct. of apps in 2015…twelve of his last 16 apps have been 1 IP or more. Ê Has combined for 3 BB (1 IBB) and 18 SO in his last 20 apps (since May 21), compared to 6 BB and 10 SO in his first 14 apps (from April 8–May 15). Ê Took his second loss on June 19 vs. SF…his 3 runs allowed were his most as a Ray and highest total since Sep 26, 2014 (G2) vs. MIA (3, with WAS).

#37 ALEX COLOME, RH Last App: 7/5 vs. LAA (1.0-IP, 1-H, 0-R, 0-BB, 1-SO) Saves-Opps: 19-19 vs. LH: .279 (12-43), 1-HR2016: 1-2-19, 1.71 ERA, 30 G Long Relief App: 2.0, 3x-last 5/24 at MIA IR-RS: 11-5 vs. RH: .169 (12-71), 1-HR

Ê Selected to the All-Star Game by Royals Manager Ned Yost, the first selection of his career and the seventh reliever in club history to do so…became the first product of a Rays international academy to make an All-Star Team…it’s the seventh straight year the Rays have had a pitcher make it.

Ê Exactly one year ago today he was moved from the starting rotation to the bullpen…has a 2.24 ERA (72.1-IP, 18-ER) over 60 apps since then. Ê Reinstated from the 15-day DL (right medial biceps tendinitis) on Tue vs. LAA and pitched a scoreless 8th that night, pitching around a 1-out 2B. Ê Holds the club record for most successful save opportunities to start a season (prev. 16, 2x-last Rafael Soriano in 2010)…is their longest streak

without a blown save (at any point of the season) since Fernando Rodney converted a club-record 22 straight from May 27–Aug 13, 2012. Ê Ranks T-5th in the AL with 19 saves and he hasn’t allowed a run in his 19 save chances…only two pitchers in the majors (and one in the AL) have

recorded as many saves without a blown save: NYM Jeurys Familia (30) and BAL Zach Britton (25).

#49 DYLAN FLORO, RH Last App: -- Saves-Opps: -- vs. LH: --Triple-A: 1-2-7, 2.81 ERA, 30 G Long Relief App: -- IR-RS: -- vs. RH: --

Ê Will be making his major league debut…selected from Triple-A Durham yesterday, taking the roster spot of Dana Eveland (designated for assign-ment)…went 1-2-7 with a 2.81 ERA (48-IP, 15-ER) over his 30 apps for Durham…pitched to a 1.69 ERA (26.2-IP, 5-ER) over his last 19 apps there.

Ê Was drafted by the Rays twice, in the 20th round out of high school in 2009 (did not sign) and the 13th round out of Cal State Fullerton in 2012. Ê Has gone 36-30 with a 3.30 ERA (526.1-IP, 193-ER) in 124 games (73 starts) over his 5-year minor league career…was named to the International

League All-Star Team this season, his second career midseason honor…was a Midwest League midseason and postseason All-Star in 2013 as well as Rays Minor League Pitcher of the Year after leading all full-season minor leaguers with a 1.77 ERA (137.1-IP, 27-ER) over 23 starts.

#52 RYAN GARTON, RH Last App: 7/6 vs. LAA (1.0-IP, 0-H, 0-R, 1-BB, 2-SO) Saves-Opps: 1-1 vs. LH: .308 (4-13)2016: 1-0-1, 4.50 ERA, 13 G Long Relief App: 2.2, 6/16 vs. SEA IR-RS: 9-3 vs. RH: .333 (15-45)

Ê Had a scoreless 6th yesterday vs. LAA…retired his first 2 BF via strikeout, allowed a 2-out walk to Trout and a Pujols groundout ended the inning. Ê Eleven of his 13 apps have been scoreless…has allowed a combined 7 runs in his two non-scoreless apps (3 in ML debut, 4 on June 30 vs. DET). Ê Recorded his first career save on Mon vs. LAA (last 2 outs)…became the first Ray other than Alex Colome (19) to record a save this season. Ê His 4 runs allowed on June 30 vs. DET were the most by a Ray without recording an out since Joel Peralta on April 13, 2012 at BOS (also 4 runs). Ê Is in his second stint with the Rays (also May 25–June 16)…became the second player in Rays history born in Clearwater, joining Ryan Webb…is

one of three alumni of J. W. Mitchell High School (New Port Richey) to reach the majors, along with Tyler Clippard and Patrick Schuster.

#30 ERASMO RAMIREZ, RH Last App: 7/4 vs. LAA (1.1-IP, 1-H, 0-R, 0-BB, 2-SO) Saves-Opps: 0-4 vs. LH: .293 (22-75), 5-HR2016: 7-7-0, 4.19 ERA, 35 G, 1 GS Long Relief App: 2.2, 5/18 at TOR IR-RS: 24-5 vs. RH: .276 (35-127), 3-HR

Ê On Mon vs. LAA made his first scoreless app of at least 1.1 IP since June 15 vs. SEA…has made a major-league-most 22 relief apps of 4 outs or more, while his 12 relief apps of at least 2 IP rank 3rd in the majors and 2nd in the AL to SEA Mike Montgomery (13)—the pitcher he was traded for.

Ê Tied for the major league lead with 6 wins as a reliever (won his only start)…it’s one shy of the club record for a reliever (7x-last J.P. Howell, 2009). Ê Has a major-league-leading 7 relief losses, a club record for a reliever before the All-Star break and most in the AL since BAL Jim Johnson in 2013. Ê Since May 6, has pitched to a 6.67 ERA (29.2-IP, 22-ER) over his 23 apps…in comparison, had a 1.13 ERA in his 12 apps (1 start) of the season. Ê Has yielded 8 HR, tied with LAA Fernando Salas for 3rd among AL relievers…only ones with more are TB Steve Geltz (10) and DET Mark Lowe (10).

#45 ENNY ROMERO, LH Last App: 7/5 vs. LAA (0.0-IP, 2-H, 3-R, 1-BB, 0-SO, 1-HR) Saves-Opps: 0-1 vs. LH: .250 (11-44), 1-HR2016: 1-0-0, 6.11 ERA, 30 G Long Relief App: 2.0, 4x-last 6/17 vs. SF IR-RS: 18-6 vs. RH: .266 (17-64), 4-HR

Ê Has yielded homers in consecutive apps, first time in his career doing that…both have been 3-run homers in the 9th inning (C.J. Cron, Victor Marti-nez)…did not record an out on Tue vs. LAA (walk, single, homer) and yielded a season-high-tying 4 hits in his previous app on Fri vs. DET.

Ê Has a 11.12 ERA (11.1-IP, 21-H, 14-ER, 9-BB, 16-SO) over his last 13 apps (since May 24), compared to a 2.70 ERA (16.2-IP, 5-ER) prior to that. Ê His 16 BB rank T-8th among AL relievers…included in his 16 BB are 10 BB vs. lefty batters and three bases-loaded walks (last June 6 at ARI). Ê Has pitched to an 2.08 ERA (17.1-IP, 4-ER) in 16 apps on the road compared to a 12.66 ERA (10.2-IP, 15-ER) in 14 apps at Tropicana Field.

#50 TYLER STURDEVANT, RH Last App: 7/6 vs. LAA (1.0-IP, 0-H, 0-R, 1-BB, 0-SO) Saves-Opps: -- vs. LH: .263 (5-19), 1-HR2016: 0-1-0, 4.08 ERA, 15 G Long Relief App: 3.0, 6/16 vs. SEA IR-RS: 10-2 vs. RH: .289 (13-45)

Ê Yesterday vs. LAA marked the first time he inherited the bases loaded…got out of it without allowing a run to score (1-2-3 GIDP, walk, flyout). Ê Hasn’t allowed a hit over his last 2 apps spanning 2.2 IP (both vs. LAA)…has lowered his ERA from 4.80 to 4.08 over these two scoreless apps. Ê Recalled on Monday for his second stint with the Rays (also May 23–June 25)…made 3 scoreless apps spanning 4 IP at Triple-A between stints. Ê Was 30 years, 156 days of age at the time of his major league debut, the oldest player to make his MLB debut with the Rays since 31-year-old Jason

Childers in 2006, according to the Elias Sports Bureau, and the second oldest since LH Jim Morris (35 in 1999).
