Dunedin Blue Jays

The D-Jays went 2-4 with series loss to Daytona and Brevard County. They split Wednesday’s Double-Header with Daytona and won both their games by scoring 6 runs. The D-Jays are 5th in the Florida State League North Division with a 7-9 record.

At the plate the D-Jays haven’t been hitting too much with the second lowest batting average in the division at .230, RBI (47), and hits (121). They are last in taking walks (35) so that will need to change.

On the mound the have been middle of the pack with one exception…..WHIP. The D-Jays have the worse WHIP in the FSL with a 1.38. The bullpen has done an exceptional job of closing games out and they led the league with 6 saves.

Pitchers

Who’s Hot- Shane Dawson, a good Canadian boy, had another solid startfor the Lugnuts. He went 5 innings again, but this time he only allowed one hit after two straight starters of allowing two hits a piece. Dawson also didn’t issue a walk and struck out 7. In 3 starts he owns a 2.66FIP, 1.80 ERA, 11.40 K/9 and 2.40 BB/9.

Who’s Cold- Chase Mallard was roughed up a bit in his last start (3.1IP, 9H, 5ER, and 4K), but even good pitchers have bad starts. Mallard has only walked one batter in 14.1IP, but has to cut down the hits allowed (1.60 WHIP).
