I’d intended to see at least part of yesterday’s noon special in person, but what I thought would be a ten-minute phone call at 11 became an hour and ten minutes. Oh, well. Here’s the rehabbing Chris Martin’s location map:
Honestly looks great. Lots of paint, nothing in the heart, yet Sacramento took both lower-left splitters deep. Martin’s splitter has been his least successful pitch so far in 2026 after serving as his best last year and typically near the league average in prior years.
Round Rock needs to borrow some of Frisco’s offense. The Express scored twice without a hit in the 6th but didn’t erase the no-hitter until Jonah Bride’s soft tapper to short in the 7th. They’re a patient bunch, not prone to chase or miss, but they rank at the bottom of the league in all the ball-in-play metrics. 
AA: Frisco 7, at Midland (ATH) 9
Frisco: 7 hits, 4 walks, 11 strikeouts
Opponent: 10 hits, 4 walks, 7 strikeouts
Record: 16-17, 4.5 GB
SP Josh Trentadue: 1.2 IP, 3 H (1 HR), 4 R, 1 BB, 1 SO, 43 P / 26 S, 8.18 ERA
CF Dylan Dreiling: 1-3, 2B, BB, .301/.402/.516
2B Corey Joyce: 1-4, HR (7), .329/.405/.686
Josh Trentadue had reasonable control but was chased in a 34-pitch 2nd that included one swinging strike and 11 fouls.
Over the past month, the Riders have averaged a whopping 7.1 runs per game, but they’ve allowed an identical amount. The league average is 5.3, maybe around 5.5 adjusted for park.
The first Hub City batter to reach Frisco is 1B Arturo Disla. After a disappointing 2025, Disla has roared to a .314/.434/.559 start with six homers in 30 games. I remembered being impressed with his eye at the plate in Surprise in 2024, yet until this season he’s never walked at a league-average rate. He’s cut his swing rate from the 51-56% range to 45%, the results being more walks, the same whiff rate but fewer total misses, no change in strikeout rate but vastly better results on balls in play. 
Hi-A: Hub City 13, at Asheville (HOU) 11
Hub City: 15 hits, 6 walks, 6 strikeouts
Opponent: 14 hits, 4 walks, 12 strikeouts
Record: 17-16, 5.5 GB
SP Aidan Curry: 4 IP, 5 H (1 HR), 4 R, 2 BB, 7 SO, 76 P / 47 S, 4.32 ERA

1B Rafe Perich: 1-3, HR (5), 2 BB, .279/.370/.535
C Malcolm Moore: 2-5, 2B, HR (3), .267/.365/.444
3B Gleider Figuereo: 1-4, HR (), BB, .196/.293/.346
SS Luke Hanson: 2-4, HR (3), BB, .194/.276/.355
For those unfamiliar, Asheville is the Amarillo of the South Atlantic League or the Mountain Time Zone of the PCL. Asheville’s elevation is 2,100′, not stratospheric but well above any other town in the league, and the distance to right is a softball-esque 297 feet.
Righty Cole Roland made his first MLB-affiliated pro debut at the not-so-tender age of 27. Roland was semi-famous as a reliever at Wake Forest in 2023-2024 for his manic mound display (video). He wasn’t quite so animated last night but still stands out. Undrafted after 2024, Roland spent the rest of that year and all of 2025 at various indy teams, most notably Quebec of the Frontier Leauger, where he posted an 0.7 ERA with 13 walks and 58 strikeouts in 41.1 innings. Roland dealt a zillion curves (or maybe high-depth sliders, or maybe both), some changes and only one fastball that I saw. 
Lo-A: Hickory 6, at Columbia (KAN) 10
Hickory: 9 hits, 6 walks, 6 strikeouts
Opponent: 10 hits, 5 walks, 8 strikeouts
Record: 17-16, 3 GB
SP Moises Morales: 6 IP, 5 H (1 HR), 3 R, 1 BB, 6 SO, 81 P / 50 S, 4.60 ERA
CF Hector Osorio: 2-4, BB, .293/.415/.526
SS Yolfran Castillo: 2-4, BB, .303/.401/.418
All the Crawdads called up to play in Spartanburg following last weekend’s stadium fire have returned. 2025 10th-round righty JD McReynolds was an early highlight, nearly unhittable and earning saves in three of his first four outings, but his last five outings have totaled 5.2 innings, 14 runners, 3 homers and 6 runs.
