Happy ACL Opening Day to those who celebrate! It looks like we’ll now have two affiliates in action on Mondays, although there’s sadly no video feed for the ACL (formerly the AZL), so we’ll have to rely on box score tea-leaves reading for the most part (and Instagram posts from our more social media-savvy prospects, of course). But meanwhile, here are the recaps for the weeks that were for the Low-A through Double-A clubs:
Modesto Nuts (26-22) split series with Lake Elsinore Storm (SD) (23-25)
This is the only time all season Modesto will face Lake Elsinore, which is kind of a bummer because the erstwhile Cal League is tiny to begin with and San Diego has some fun prospects at this level (my 2020 draft fave Robert Hassell III, NW native Joshua Mears, defensively-plus catcher Brandon Valenzuela).
