DOMINICAN SUMMER LEAGUE BOCA CHICA NORTH

The DSL Yankees 2 are reeling as they had an atrocious 2-5 week. The poor performance evens their season record at 30-30, dropping them to fourth place overall and 17 games out of first place. 18-year old left fielder Carlos Vidal continues his strong season. He added a couple of 2-for-5 performances this past week. He is currently batting .385 with one home run, 31 RBI, and 55 runs scored in only 48 games. He has also walked 37 times while striking out just 27 which has helped him accrue an eye-popping .504 on base percentage. The Yankees may have themselves yet another catching prospect on their hands. 19-year old Algeni Mateo is quietly having a solid season. He is currently batting .351 with three home runs and 24 RBI. 21-year old righty Rolando Calvo continues to be one of the few bright spots on the pitching staff. Calvo sits at 7-2 with a 3.00 ERA on the season while striking out 29 batters over 33 innings. Freddery Arias continues to impress at the backend of the bullpen, sitting at 3-1 with six saves and a 2.28 ERA.
