OTHER AREA PLAYERS

JARRETT

ZACH JARRETT (Class A Delmarva, Md.)

Zach Jarrett — who starred in high school at Hickory and in college at Charlotte – went 2-for-5 and scored a run on Friday night as Delmarva won 7-6 at Charleston (S.C.) before 5,034.

He started in center field, batted third in the lineup and raised his batting average back above .300 at .301. There are six South Atlantic League players hitting .300 or better and Jarrett’s fifth in batting average in the league.

In 85 games this season, Jarrett also has 19 doubles, three triples, 11 home runs and 48 RBIs. He’s hitting .189 with one home run and three RBIs in his last 10 games.

Jarrett is closing in on becoming the third player this season to reach 100 hits in the SAL (98, third behind Riley Delgado’s 102 for Rome, Ga., and 101 by Chad Spanberger of Asheville). He has 11 home runs and 22 SAL players have hit at least 10 (Seuly Matias of Lexington, Ky., leads with 26).

Delmarva improved to 49-40 and 14-8 in the second half in the SAL Northern Division standings.

HAYDEN DEAL (Class A Rome, Ga.)

Hayden Deal, a star at Bandys High who played college baseball at Presbyterian, did not pitch on Friday when Greenville (S.C.) beat visiting Rome twice, 4-1 in the completion of a suspended game and 6-1.

Deal’s last start came last Sunday when he threw six scoreless innings, allowing one hit and striking out four in a game that Augusta (Ga.) eventually won 4-0.

He threw 80 pitches, 52 for strikes, and got 13 groundball outs while facing 21 batters.

Deal is 4-1 with an ERA of 1.98, pitching 50 innings this season. Deal has hit four batters, intentionally walked one and walked nine to go with 55 strikeouts.

In his last 10 outings, he is 1-1 with an ERA of 1.87, pitching 33 2/3 innings with six walks and 30 strikeouts.

The Braves are 47-44 overall and 7-15 in the second-half SAL Southern Division standings. They won a first-half title, securing a postseason berth.

HUNTER HARVEY (Class AA Bowie, Md.)

Former Bandys High star Hunter Harvey remains in Florida as he recovers from a shoulder injury sustained while trying to maneuver away from a foul ball into the dugout on a day he was not pitching.

When he twisted to avoid being struck by the ball, his right shoulder popped out of socket.

Harvey is now throwing some and is expected to pitch in a game in Florida on Aug. 4.

He was scratched from his 10th start (June 8) and remains listed as “active” on the Bowie roster. He is on the Baltimore Orioles’ 40-man roster, so if he were to go on the 60-day disabled list he would be considered on the major league roster during that time.

Harvey is 1-2 with 32 1/3 innings pitched. He’s allowed 36 hits, 20 runs (all earned), walked eight and struck out 30. His ERA is 5.57.

Bowie finished last in the first-half West Division of the Eastern League, 8 ½ games back of division winner Akron (Ohio).

Bowie fell at Reading (Pa.) 5-4 on Friday night before 7,011 and is 40-49 overall in the Eastern League.
