Tracking the Preaux Career of Blake Trahan

[Boomer]

This is the college rule...looking for MLB ruling but probably the same:

NO ERROR IS CHARGED
SECTION 22. No error is charged to a fielder in the following situations:
a. When a ball is misplayed due to being lost in the sun or lights, blown by the wind, or if
the fielder slips and falls—even if contact is made with the ball.

---Well what happened to the days of using your glove to shade the sun and make the catch--We would practice it during batting practice!!!

He got a spring training call? That's a big deal.

I know Blake has got off to a terrible start in advanced A ball but in his has 5 games he is 5 - 19. And has raised his batting average 32 points. Including going 2-4 tonight.

Really would like for him to catch fire and work his way up to AA.

[RaginDave]

In baseball allot of times it is just about getting comfortable. I think he is seeing the ball much better now. 5-19 is not earth shattering, but considering he was 8-74 to start the season, it could be the turning point. Oh by the way, Blake has always had a great eye, that is showing with his 11 walks so far. But he will need to cut down on his strikeouts.

[Turbine]

If Blake has lots of walks AND lots of strikeouts, I wonder how many times he got caught looking?

Crazy how he went from being one of the top hitters in the Reds Spring Training camp to a slump to start out High A. He'll get on a tear soon

On a somewhat related note, Ryan Leonards was bumped up to AA Birmingham a week ago. He had gotten sent there at the end of last year (2 level jump from reg A) then started this year in High A. Just 7 games under his belt so far this year though.

Hell of a guy, hell of a story.

I've said all along, I thought Ryno would be our first major leaguer from the 2012-2014 crop. Still has a ways to go, but he's headed in the right direction. BT will be right behind him.

Caleb Adams is killing it right now as well.
