RHP Adonis Medina (1-0, 4.50 ERA) vs. LHP Mike Montgomery (0-1, 8.22 ERA)
The RailRiders clinched at least a split of the six-game series on Friday with a 5-3 victory. Despite Brian Keller only going 2.1 innings in his start, the bullpen held Lehigh Valley to one run over the final 6.2 innings led by Kyle Barraclough, who struck out four in 1.2 hitless innings in relief of Keller.

The Yankees’ system has been known its fleet of young power arms over the last few years. Those arms have worked their way to the upper levels of the system and are now routinely ranked among the team’s best prospects. Pitching alongside those top prospects are other arms with the potential to contribute to the Yankees in the near future. Let’s take a look at the upper level arms in the Yankees system.
Yankees fans have already caught a glimpse of Deivi García, Clarke Schmidt, Brooks Kriske and Albert Abreu as they made their major league debuts in 2020. Those players remain prospects and will likely contribute to the team again this coming year.
Highest Level: N/A
Everyone has seen and heard the hype; Dominguez is going to be a STUD! Dominguez is strong and athletic with a smooth, short compact swing and excellent bat speed from both sides of the plate helping the ball jump off of his bat with extra pop. He has shown good bat control and can square up the ball while driving the ball into the gaps and hitting for power to all fields. Dominguez also has a good understanding of the strike zone. Dominguez is a good baserunner with good speed he has a true chance at being a 30/30 player annually. Scouts compare him to a young Mike Trout. I will be trying to grab Dominguez in every dynasty league I am in.
