Despite the loss, there were plenty of positives offensively for Fort Wayne. Justin Lopez smacked a two-run home run in the fifth and Jawuan Harris hit a solo, opposite field home run in the sixth (his first extra-base hit in 12 games). Luis Almanzar and Grant Little also contributed RBI doubles. WHAT’S AT STAKE: The TinCaps, who’ve won 4 in a row at home, have dropped 6 consecutive road games dating back to May 11. IN CONTROL: TinCaps pitchers have the best ratio of strikeouts to walks in the Midwest League this season. Fort Wayne pitchers are averaging 3.02 strikeouts for every walk. ‘Caps pitchers have walked the fewest batters in the MWL (129 BB in 389.1 IP, just 3 per 9 innings). TinCaps starters in particular have had pinpoint accuracy lately—only 6 walks in the last 11 starts combined. IMPROVING PEN: Over the last 6 games, TinCaps relievers have combined to allow just five earned runs in 26.2 innings (1.69 ERA) with 29 strikeouts and 6 walks. X FACTOR: Infielder Xavier Edwards leads the MWL in Batting Average (.355) and Hits (55). He’s tied for 3rd in OBP (.417) and tied for 2nd in Stolen Bases (14)… Edwards also has the lowest Swinging Strike % (2.7%) and is tied for the 3rd lowest K% in the MWL (8.7%). His 1.13 BB/K ratio is tied for 3rd. He had a 22-game on-base streak and a 14-game hitting streak (longest in the MWL this year) end Tuesday. MAKING HIS MARK: Infielder Tucupita Marcano got off to a slow start this season, slashing .179/.270/.196 through his first 15 games. But since April 22, over his last 26 games, Marcano has hit a league-best .374 with a .417 OBP and .495 SLG, 8 doubles, a triple, a homer, and 13 RBIs. He was the MWL Player of the Week for April 29-May 5. Overall this year, Marcano’s .307 Batting Average ranks 7th in the MWL. His 51 Hits are 2nd. Marcano has swung and missed at only 5% of pitches (5th lowest SwStr%) and has struck out only 11% of the times he’s been up (7th lowest K%). AGE IS JUST A NUMBER: Justin Lopez, who turned 19 on May 9, has a double, a triple, and 5 home runs in his last 10 games. Lopez has recently made an adjustment in the box with less movement of his hands and is now resting his bat on his back shoulder pre-pitch. Manager Anthony Contreras compared the swing simplification to Cody Bellinger of the Dodgers. On Saturday, Lopez smacked a two- run home run to right field. Lopez had four extra-base hits (all doubles) in his first 22 games this season. RIPPING IT: Outfielders Agustin Ruiz and Dwanya Williams-Sutton rank 4th and 14th, respectively, in the MWL in Line Drive % on batted balls at 25% and 23%. (For context, Franmil Reyes has the highest LD% for the Padres at 22%.) Ruiz is also tied for 5th in the league in Doubles (13) and is 13th in RBIs (26). HUNTING HITS: Catcher Blake Hunt has the 3rd lowest Batting Average on Balls in Play (BABIP) in the MWL at .214. A typical BABIP is around .300. WALK & RUN: Outfielder Jawuan Harris has walked in 20% of his plate appearances this season. That’s the 2nd highest BB% in the MWL. (For context, Mike Trout has the highest BB% in MLB at 21%.) Harris has also swiped 12 bases (tied for 6th in MWL). POWER SURGE: The TinCaps have 32 extra-base hits in their last 10 games, including 4 (two doubles, two home runs) on Saturday night. Fort Wayne had 2 extra- base hits combined over its previous 4 games. TURNAROUND: Catcher Juan Fernandez began the season 0-for-18, but is 19-for- 48 (.395) since in a 15-game span.

CHASING HISTORY: Anthony Contreras, who’s in his 4th season as the team’s skipper, won his 200th game as TinCaps manager on April 11. His win total now stands at 215. The franchise leader in that category is Doug Dascenzo (227, 2007-09). Randy Ready (2004-06) now ranks 3rd with 209 victories. FOREVER YOUNG: The average age for a TinCaps position player thus far has been 20.1, the youngest in the Midwest League (MWL average: 21.2). The average age for a ’Caps pitcher is 20.9, also the youngest (MWL average: 21.9). This marks the 6th consecutive year Fort Wayne has had the league’s most youthful lineup, going back to 2014. The TinCaps had the youngest pitching staff in the league in 2016 and ranked tied for 2nd youngest in ’18, 2nd youngest in ’12, ’13, and ’17. 260 TO THE SHOW: 181 former Fort Wayne players have reached the big leagues since the franchise was founded in 1993. 8 ‘Caps alums have broken through this year with SS Fernando Tatis Jr., RHP Chris Paddack, LHP Nick Margevicius, RHP Pedro Avila, RHP Gerardo Reyes, INF Ty France and C Austin Allen appearing for the Padres, plus INF Josh VanMeter with the Reds. WELCOME BACK: 14 of the team’s 25 players appeared in at least 1 game with the TinCaps last year: INF Luis Almanzar, LHP Joey Cantillo, LHP Dan Dallas, INF Nick Feight, C Juan Fernandez, RHP Nick Kuzia, RHP Henry Henry, INF Justin Lopez, RHP Adrian Martinez, RHP Gabe Mosser, RHP Jose Quezada, OF Agustin Ruiz, LHP Ryan Weathers, and RHP Carlos Belen, who was a corner infield with the ‘Caps in 2016 and ’18. IN THE DUGOUT: Anthony Contreras is back for his 4th season as TinCaps manager, becoming the first skipper in the franchise’s 27-year history to lead the team for more than 3 years… Hitting coach Jonathan Mathews (2nd season), fielding coach Jhonny Carvajal (3rd), athletic trainer Allyse Kramer (3rd), and strength coach Sam Hoffman (2nd) are also back. Matt Williams is the team’s new pitching coach, succeeding Burt Hooton—the club’s pitching coach for the last 6 seasons—who’s missing the season as he recovers from knee surgery in March. PADRES ON DECK: MLB.com, Baseball America, and ESPN have rated San Diego’s farm system as baseball’s best. The ‘Caps have 4 players on MLB.com’s Top 30 list for the Pads (see list on Page 1). Not to be overlooked, ESPN’s Keith Law ranks INF Justin Lopez at No. 19. He also notes RHP Efraín Contreras as another to watch with OF Agustin Ruiz & LHP Joey Cantillo. VAMOS TINCAPS: A team of Padres minor league prospects ventured to Mexico City to play the Diablos Rojos del México and open up Estadio Alfredo Harp Helú, which is named after a member of the Padres’ ownership team, with a pair of games March 23-24. Both games drew a sell-out crowd of 20,000+ fans and Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador threw out the ceremonial first pitch. LHP Ryan Weathers started Game 1, while RHP Efrain Contreras and Adrian Martinez also pitched, joined by catcher Blake Hunt, infielders Xavier Edwards, Justin Lopez, Tucupita Marcano, and outfielders Grant Little and Agustin Ruiz. The Padres on Deck team impressively won both games. 2018 IN REVIEW: The 2018 TinCaps missed out on reaching the Midwest League Playoffs by a game. In fact, it came down to the final day of the regular season on Labor Day, as the TinCaps and West Michigan Whitecaps were in a tie for the Eastern Division’s second-half wild card. Ultimately, Fort Wayne fell in extra innings, 3-2. The TinCaps finished the season with an overall record of 64-74 (32-37 in both halves). Nevertheless, the TinCaps featured one of the most prospect-laden teams in Minor League Baseball. The squad included the MWL’s Left-Handed Pitcher of the Year in Osvaldo Hernandez as well as Left-Handed Reliever of the Year Travis Radke. Radke and fellow lefties Nick Margevicius and Aaron Leasher, along with catcher Luis Campusano, were all MWL Mid-Season All-Stars. Other top prospects with the club during the year were LHP MacKenzie Gore, RHP Luis Patiño, OF Tirso Ornelas, OF Jeisson Rosario, INF Gabriel Arias, INF Owen Miller, and INF Esteury Ruiz. The team’s pitching staff had the lowest walk rate in the league (2.9 / 9 IP) and the best strikeout to walk ratio (3.13). CAPS ON MiLB.TV: For the first time, this season TinCaps home games are available to watch on MiLB.TV (in addition to being broadcast around Indiana for Xfinity customers on Comcast Network 81). Fans can save $10 on their subscription by using the promo code TINCAPS. ON THE FRANCHISE: The franchise was founded in 1993 as the Fort Wayne Wizards. The team was affiliated with the Minnesota Twins from 1993-98. The organization has been affiliated with the San Diego Padres since ‘99. The Wizards played at Memorial Stadium, about 3.5 miles north of Downtown Fort Wayne. The team moved into Parkview Field in 2009 and rebranded as the TinCaps, paying homage to John Chapman aka Johnny Appleseed, who’s buried in Fort Wayne.

He’s taught me to locate my fastballs and change eye levels.
