Fisher Cats rained out at Reading; playing two today
EEADING, Pa. — Tuesday night’s game between the New Hampshire Fisher Cats, the Double-A affiliate of the Toronto Blue Jays, and the Reading Fightin Phils (Philadelphia Phillies) was postponed due to rain.
The game will be made up today at 4:45 p.m. as part of a doubleheader.
WHO’S HOT: John Aiello has an active 25-game on-base streak, in which he is 34-for-89 (.382) with eight doubles, three homers and 11 RBIs. Aiello’s streak is the longest by a Fisher Cat this season and is tied for the longest active streak in the league. Davis Schneider had a nine-game hit streak snapped on Sunday, but a walk extended his on-base streak to 22 games. In that stretch, he’s 30-for-86 (.349) with three homers and 14 RBIs. Luis De Los Santos had his eight-game hit streak snapped as well with an 0-for-3 day. He was 9-for-32 with a homer and four RBIs over those eight games. Jimmy Burnette has 13 strikeouts across his last five appearances (6.1 innings).
A WHOLE LOTTA HOMERS: The Fisher Cats are up to 149 home runs in 2022, a new single-season team record. The previous high was 144 by the 2007 team. Even more remarkable, the Fisher Cats broke the record in 1,000 fewer at bats (3,877 AB for 145 HR in 2022, 4,877 AB for 144 HR in 2007).
New Hampshire also has the most road home runs in a season with 78, surpassing their previous high of 72 in 2011. The most Fisher Cats home runs at Delta Dental Stadium came in 2007, when they hit 79. New Hampshire currently has 70 homers at home.
ORELVIS IS KING: Orelvis Martinez broke the Fisher Cats single season home run record on August 21 with a seventh inning, two-run blast at Dunkin’ Donuts Park, his 28th long ball of the season. Chip Cannon (2006) and Eric Thames (2010) each had 27 homers.
Thames needed 560 plate appearances, Cannon needed 524 PA, and Martinez needed 391 PA to reach 27 dingers. Martinez has four two-homers games this season, and he’s second in the league in homers behind Erie’s Quincy Nieporte (30). At age 20, Martinez is the youngest of the 11 players with 20+ home runs in the Eastern League. The second youngest is 21-year-old Ronny Mauricio (BNG, 24 HR).
RICKY ON THE SHELF: The Toronto Blue Jays moved No. 2 prospect Ricky Tiedemann to the development list on August 28, possibly signaling the end of his game action in 2022. In four starts and 11.0 IP at Double-A, Tiedemann allowed three earned runs, all of which came against Erie. He threw back-to-back scoreless, hitless starts at Hartford and Somerset. Across three levels this year, the 20-year-old struck out 117 batters in 78.2 innings (13.4 K/9) with a 0.86 WHIP. He struck out a season-high 10 batters versus Tampa on May 13 in 5.0 innings.
FINAL HOMESTAND:The Fisher Cats return home for their final homestand of the 2022 season on September 13 with first pitch at 6:35 p.m. against the Harrisburg Senators.
