Logan Wagner just torched Double-A with his first two-homer game against the Naturals for the Tulsa Drillers, a performance that’s sending shockwaves through the Dodgers’ prospect pipeline. This guy started the year in rookie ball, so the jump to Double-A hasn’t exactly been a cakewalk. But last night? He was an absolute menace at the plate, blasting two long shots that tell you everything you need to know about his rising power.
Double-A Sluggers Are Just Built Different
Seriously, Wagner’s transition from rookie ball to Double-A has been tough, but he’s finding his stride at the absolute perfect time. This was only his second multi-homer game of the season, but it pushes his season total to a ridiculous 22 dingers across three different levels! That’s not just power; that’s raw, unadulterated slugging evolving right before our eyes. You gotta be hyped for a guy who’s adjusting and still producing at that level.
And if that wasn’t enough, the Drillers also saw Josue De Paula absolutely crush one. The Dodgers’ number one prospect launched his 27th homer of the season in his *final* game with the Drillers before he jets off to join the big league club on Friday. What a way to go out, right? The Drillers blew out their opponent, hitting four homers to their zero. It was a full-on power display that ended De Paula’s minor league stint with a bang!
Comets Pitching Got Messy, But Then Ferris Happened
Meanwhile, up in Triple-A, the Oklahoma City Comets pulled off an 8-6 win against the Space Cowboys, but it was a wild ride, especially on the mound. Gavin Stone, Edwin Díaz, and Kris Bubic? They all failed to complete a full inning, man. Stone got yanked with two outs in the first after his pitch count shot past 30, giving up three runs. Díaz’s count climbed over 20 for just two outs, walking multiple batters. Bubic literally just came in to finish off the third inning that Díaz started. That’s a pitching meltdown, plain and simple!
But then, Jackson Ferris stepped up and became an absolute legend. He came in early and completed a staggering six innings for an incredibly rare six-inning save. Ferris allowed fewer hits (2) and runs (1) than those first three pitchers combined! Talk about riding the hot hand all the way to a win. The Comets’ offense was aggressive early, putting up six of their eight runs in the first two innings. Ryan Fitzgerald’s bases-clearing double in the second made it 6-4 and gave OKC their first lead. James Tibbs III was a menace on the basepaths all night, leading the team with three runs scored, walking twice, and snagging a hit.
With Josue De Paula heading to the show and Logan Wagner proving his power is legit in Double-A, plus Ferris showing that kind of resilience on the mound, the Dodgers’ farm system is absolutely buzzing with talent. You gotta be incredibly pumped for what’s coming next from these rising stars!
