obviously didnt turn out to well and as i was writing this report the fucking computer restarted so im re-writing this again from the notes (and they were extensive) from the game

Here are some non-related martin notes related to the frisco bats from what i saw (only stayed like the 1st 5 innings which took like a total of about 2 hours, long ass game. Ian was hit by a pitch 3 pitches into the game, his next ab a fastball was blown past him but other then that was able to work a walk. His 3rd ab he came up with runners on 1st and 2nd with 1 out and you could tell he wanted to kill the ball, he got a 2-0 count and just missed one but fouled it and the next pitch was a lazy pop up to short.

Moreland from what I saw displayed good patience the 1st ab (though the starting pitcher had crappy command, his stats looked nice on the season but he’s way to wild and seemed to only control his changeup) his 2nd ab struck out on i think 4 pitches.

Pina was hitting the ball nice his 1st 2 trips to the plate and shouldve had a runner thrown out if not for Lemon dropping an easy 3rd out which was inexcusable.

Now onto the Perez stuff:
I was sorta charting his pitches as I tracked what type of pitch (i think) he was throwing and whether or not it was a strike or ball

1st inning:
1st batter saw a fastball for a ball followed by 2 strikes for fastballs then another fastball for a ball then a foul then the count went full before grounding to the 1st baseman but Martin wasnt off the mound until he realized he needed to run to cover 1st and by then it was to late and the guy reached 1st, I feel this was a giant reason why he had such a bad day since he got off to such a terrible start.
Next batter saw a changeup for a ball followed by 3 fastballs for balls leading to a 4 pitch walk, I thought the last 3 pitches were all low but very close to strikes.
Next guy hits a foul then lines out to left field (one of the few legitimately hard hit balls off perez all day)
Next guy sees a ball bounce into the dirt then a changeup for a strike then he drops a curve down on him and perez tries an 0-2 change on him but the guy hits a bloop down the right field line (oppo field) that ties the game 1-1 but it was really nicely placed, over the 1st basemans head but to far for the right fielder so he was able to get a double, not hard hit at all.
Next batter after seeing 3 fastballs K’s swinging on another fastball, next guy gets up 2-1 (all fastballs) before hitting a weak single just past the outstretched glove of ian kinsler (his defense didnt look completely up to par like it normally does) and it plates 2. 3 fastballs later Perez gets his 2nd K on a swinging strike. 1st inning done 3 runs 29 pitches

2nd inning:
starts off with a single on the 1st pitch, then fastball for a strike, fastball ball, changeup for a swinging strike (his best pitch by far all night) but the guy takes 2nd on the play got a great jump and then perez throws a wild pitch (not sure if pina couldve blocked it but it wasnt a good pitch on perez’s behalf)
so the guys on 3rd and next pitch guy grounds to 3rd. stupidly whittleman thinks the guy is to far off 3rd and attempts to tag him instead of getting the easy out at 1st, instead guy is safe on 3rd so guys at corner 0 outs.
Perez then goes fastball for a foul, fastball ball and changeup which is grounded into hole for lemon only play is force at 2nd which he converts run scores (4-2 drillers) Next batter is a change for ball, fastball strike, fastball ball (guy steals on perez) then he induces a pop fly, 3 pitches later (1 curve, which i didnt see many of and a changeup) the guy pops to short to end the inning. 2 innings 48 pitches

3rd inning
To start the inning he throws 3 fastballs 2-1 count before the guy grounds to 3rd. Then it’s again getting behind in count because cant locate fastball 3-1 guy rips a single inbetween 3rd and short. Next batter it’s change up then either curve or change follwed by a fastball that was absolutely walloped to left field, that thing might still be going for homer (6-2 drillers)
Next batter gets ahead again 3-1 hits another weak single up the middle
followed by fastball ball, curveball strike, fastball ball then 2 fastballs in a row for swings and misses for his 3rd and final K, on the strikeout Pina had the guy nailed by 10 feet but lemon dropped the ball, idk how this happend because i couldve caught the ball, dont know if it was laziness or sheer surprise this runner could seriously be this slow but he dropped it and perez never escaped the 3rd.
His final batter he started with a changeup for a strike then a bloop hit that either hit the line or was right next to it but Ian was trying to chase it down and tried a sliding grab but failed to get to it as Tracy and the rf (moreland?) were near it too but again a perfectly placed ball that scored another run and perez was run after 73 (by my count) pitches

final line 2.2 7 er 8 hits 3 k’s (all his k’s were on swings and misses, think he had at least 7 swings and misses total maybe more but i was keeping pretty close track)

I really dont think he was hit anywhere close to what his line suggests, I’d say 4 balls were hit hard including the homerun, most of the hits were bloops or balls that found holes. His changeup was his best pitch and looked excellent at times completely fooling hitters. He just couldnt throw fastballs for strikes and most of them were up in the zone too.

My favorite part of the night was when me and my friend were wanting to leave I wanted to go talk to one of the scouts who had a radar gun because the stadium didnt have one so I just saw this tall guy in a black shirt that had one and sat next to him so I could know how hard Perez was throwing. He said it was ranging between 91-96, we got to talking for a couple minutes and I asked what team he scouts for, he says he’s a player (took me a coupld times to understand what he said, thought he said he was a blair, didnt know what the fuck that meant) then I get what he’s saying and notices he looks familiar and take a shot in the dark and say, “You’re blake beavan” and it was!

I was just shocked that he was up in the stands, plus because he looks 5 years older then me (im 21 a year older then him, of course i look like im 17) but we got to talking about martin, and himself. I asked about michael main, he seemed to know what we knew, he was sent home with a virus. Said he knew a lot of guys just because they hang out in Spring training, I asked how hard he threw in high school he said 95-97 and now it’s high 80’s early 90’s about 91-92 topping off. I was curious if he thought he’d ever get it back but he didnt think so.

Real nice guy though. But pretty much told him was great to meet him wished him luck told him how young he was for the league and went on my way. All in all, it wasnt the best night but I was only going to be watching the Rangers if I didnt go, now I can at least say I saw Perez’s AA debut (though it wasnt pretty)
