Pitchers Corner #1: Jon Hunton

Welcome to my Pitcher's Corner, where I talk about Somerset's pitcher from my mind. No info source, No help, just
straight up Pitching talk.

#1: Jon Hunton
Big Jon Hunton is more than just a pitcher for Somerset,  he also helps Brett Jodie by being the director of player personal as he helps sign players.
To me, Jon is a great relief pitcher and some one who can close out a game. He just came off a tough loss this week. He has experiance with Somerset so he knows what he is facing, and I can't wait till he pitches again.

(Sorry if it was too short - not a lot of Somerset highlights to write about.)

Past Patriots #1: Jake Fox

Welcome to my new series of going back into history and looking at past Patriots stats and where are they now every Monday.


Week #1: Jake Fox

Jake Fox played for Somerset in 2012 and 2013, and he was a great part of the team as he was very popular for his 2013 back-to-back-to-back walk-off hits. He has had 102 RBI and 32 homers in his career with the Pats. His 2013 was a better year for Jake than 2012 as he almost lead Somerset to a Alantic League Championship.  He is now playing in Mexico for 2014.

Next Monday: Josh Nettles

Player Highlight #2: Adam Donachie

Adam grew up in Orlando, Florida and he played 82 games catching behind the plate for the Pats last year with 62 hits, 11 doubles, 6 home runs, and 40 RBI. Adam has 632 hits in his career and in 2014 so far he has had 16 at-bats and 5 hits. He is a great leader and player for Somerset and Adam is now teaching a new Patriot, Damaso Espino, some tips. Adam looks for 2014 to be his and Somerset's year.

Opening Day tomorrow!

What we all have been waiting for.....Somerset Patriot Baseball! It's been a long spring training of practicing  and after watching the team practice last night, the team looks ready for the season!
Let's get ready to play ball!

Spring training recap

With opening day in 2 days, Spring training is wrapping up and everyone is getting ready to start the season. So, Lets recap what Somerset had done in training this year. The Pats have played 3 practice games with other Atlantic league teams with the team looking good in all games. Somerset has not signed back most players from last year's epic run to the championship as we have lost names like Jake Fox, Aldridge, E-mart, Bobby Stevens, and Yunesky Sanchez, but....We still have some great last year players like Corey smith, Aharon Eggleston, Luis montanez, and my favorite JONNY TUCKER and some more. Also, Somerset has signed some great new faces to the team like Scott Kelly, Damaso Espino, Nate Spears and more. But lets focus on the team its self no, Manager Brett Jodie has been running drills and scrimmages for the team to find their strength and weaknesses to work on for 2014. Here is what Jodie said on Day 8 of training as they scrimmaged against the Riversharks, "They showed alot of patience at the plate and we got on base alot from some big key hits which lead to some runs as the pitchers pounded the zone as we didn't walk a batter all game and some great strikeouts as we played great today." Thats what we want to hear!  If Somerset can keep on getting great key hits and the pitchers keep giving great outings I think Somerset can be a championship contending team for 2014.

Spring training cuts

spring training is a time to show your stuff and make it to the roster for the season. somerset's 1st cuts were today as the cut off a few players including the veteran Miguel Abreu. Abreu has played all postions except catcher and pitcher in his 9-year career, He couldn't find good at-bats which the team needs so miguel will not be playing for somerset in 2014.

Player highlight: Corey Smith

in 2013, Corey smith had an all-star season with a .269 batting average, 84 RBI, 29 doubles and 20 home runs as he was named player of the month in may with 27 RBI with 27 games played as he was the alantic league all-star game MVP. Corey smith is a clutch player but as we head into 2014 without Jake fox and Aldridge, Corey smith has to be clutch again as somerset looks for 2014 to be their year 

opening day in 5 days!

Open tryouts

last saturday at fan fest, adults and kids enjoyed them self BUT their was still some real business going on as the patriots held open tryouts to see if the can find more players for the roster and the found 2 players that really stuck out to them. Pitcher J.D Reichenbach and in-fielder Scott Kelly, JD has had experience in the cleveland indians franchise playing in carolina with the indians single-A team with a 3.30 ERA and 38 strikeouts. Scott played for the University of NJ a .331 batting average last season. shall these players be a great new addition to the roster? or late cuts in spring training?

Spring training about to begin...

in 8 days, somerset patriots spring training will begin. but before that, the team has to re-sign or add players to the 2014 roster. Today, we will talk about 3 young pitchers from 2013 who have rocked last season. josh and jason lowey and david harden. Jason Lowey went 7-4 with a 1.76 ERA and Josh Lowey led the pats in wins last year with a 14-8 year as They made the Lowey family a big name down in somerset. also, david harden finished 2013 with a 10-2 record and a 3.39 ERA with 63 strikeouts. somerset should be happy to get these fine pitchers back for 2014.
