Emmet Sheehan just keeps getting better down in Triple-A, tossing another gem for Oklahoma City on Saturday. He racked up seven strikeouts over 5 2/3 innings, giving up just one measly run. Seriously, this guy is on a roll!
Sheehan’s Dominant Run
That single run Sheehan gave up? It’s the only tally against him in his last three starts for Oklahoma City, a stretch where he’s carved up opponents for 17 1/3 innings, punching out 24 batters against just six walks. He gave up five hits and two walks on Saturday, but the consistency is what makes you pay attention. He is absolutely dealing.
Big Bats & Returns
Down in Triple-A, Zach Ehrhard crushed an eighth-inning homer for an Oklahoma City Comets win. For the big club, Will Smith doubled twice in his four at-bats as DH on Saturday after catching three games this week. That’s the kind of power you love. On the rehab trail, Justin Wrobleski joined the Comets, getting four outs in relief, his expected role for the Dodgers in September and October. He allowed a run on three hits and struck out two. Elsewhere, Brent Honeywell made his first game appearance in 22 months for El Paso, dating back to Game 4 of the 2024 World Series. He allowed the tying and go-ahead runs in the seventh due to errors. A tough return.
Tulsa’s Slugfest & De Paula’s Chase
Things got absolutely wild down in Double-A Tulsa. The Drillers scored four runs in the 11th to top Midland, despite striking out 19 times! They racked up 16 hits and nine walks, plating 10 runs in an 11-inning slugfest. Taylor Young was a beast, doubling home a run in the 11th, singling, walking three times, and stealing a base. Jake Gelof put on a show with a homer, a sacrifice fly, and a two-run single for four RBI. Elijah Hainline also went deep. Jose Izarra doubled twice and stole a base, while Kole Myers singled twice, walked twice, and swiped a bag. And then there’s Josue De Paula, who doubled, singled, and scored his 100th run of the season. He’s just one RBI shy of the century mark too, blowing past his 2024 career highs! Jacob Kmatz had a tough eighth, allowing a tying run, but got out of a bases-loaded, nobody-out jam.
What’s Next for the Farm?
With Sheehan dealing at Triple-A and young studs like Josue De Paula tearing it up in Double-A, the Dodgers organization has to be thrilled with the talent coming through the pipeline. You just keep watching these guys, especially De Paula as he chases that 100 RBI mark. It’s all about development, and these performances show the future is bright.
