Hammer 🎵 Time

 

The Jupiter Hammerheads, the Marlins A-Ball affiliate, hold a 2 Game lead in their East S.E Division with 3 to play. I had an opportunity yesterday to catch a very near 5 hour thriller in Port St. Lucie Florida between the Hammerheads & 2nd Place PSL Mets. A Ballgame that gave me ample opportunity to see Victor Mesa Jr's exiting style of play. To see 18 year old Shortstop Jose Salas continue his first Pro-Season. And to see an Undrafted Paul McIntosh continue to burst on to the Prospect scene.

 

The ball makes a different sound off Paul McIntosh's bat. 

McIntosh, a multi-position baseball athlete out of West Virginia, went undrafted during this past summer's Baseball Amateur Draft. How and why are beyond me. McIntosh has legit raw power coming off his bat, a College approach at the plate, and can really fly. He spanked 4 hits last night (Including a Triple off the Right Center Field wall) and drove in 3. Paul McIntosh, a name to keep an eye on Marlins fans, for sure.

 

Speaking of College Bats, Cody Morissette batted 2nd and played 3B yesterday for Jupiter. Morissette, a 2nd Round Pick this Summer out of Boston College, reached base 3 times, hit a Double and scored a pair of Runs. MO2's Joe Frisaro dropped a Chris Coghlan comp on Cody Morisettte about 3 weeks ago. I can definitely see why now.

 

-Victor Mesa Jr is safe after unreal slide-

Victor Mesa Jr. probably had the 2 most impactful plays of the night for the Hammerheads. Victor's 2-Run Triple got Jupiter within a Run after trailing 5-0. He then came home to Score on a McIntosh RBI Groundout, in which Mesa pulled a Houdini act at the plate to avoid the tag. The Sharks would go on to win by a Final of 12-8.

  

A shoutout and thanks to V.M. Jr. for the Batting Gloves.

Keep an eye on those Hammerheads! #HammerDown
