YESTERDAY: The Captains swept a doubleheader against the South Bend Cubs, winning both games by one run.
Lake County took the first game, 5-4, aided by long balls from José Tena and Victor Nova. Tena hit a solo shot in the second to put the Captains in front and, after the Cubs tied the score, Nova hit a two-run shot in the fourth. In game two, the Captains trailed, 2-0, until Clark Scolamiero tied the game with a two-run homer in the sixth and Will Brennan scored the go-ahead run later in the inning on a fielder’s choice by Raynel Delgado.
LAST SERIES: The Captains lost four out of six games against the Great Lakes Loons at Dow Diamond. Lake County hit well during the series, averaging 5.3 runs per game and slashing .272/.338/.432 (.770 OPS). Bryan Lavastida hit .450 (9-for-20) during the series with three home runs, six RBI and six runs. Joe Naranjo posted a 1.018 OPS during the series with two homers and two doubles. The Captains’ pitching staff, however, had a 7.23 ERA during the series and allowed 14 home runs – the most allowed by any team in the league last week.
HOME COOKIN’ TASTES BETTER: The Captains are 16-4 at home, compared to 11-19 on the road. The Captains’ offense owns the third-best home OPS in the High-A Central League (HAC) at .782 and the pitching staff has the third-lowest home ERA in the league at 3.28. On the flip side, the Captains’ offense has the fourth-worst road OPS in the league at .644 and the pitching staff has the third-worst road ERA at 5.19.

BRENNAN BASHING: Captains OF Will Brennan is second in the High-A Central League (HAC) in doubles (16), tied for sixth in extra-base hits (19), 10th in batting average (.289).
ALUMNI UPDATE: 2018 Captains SS Ernie Clement became the 101st former Captain to reach the major leagues when he debuted for Cleveland on June 13. Nine former Captains have made their major league debuts this year – OF Ka’ai Tom (2016), RHP Luis Oviedo (2018-19), LHP Sam Hentges (2016), RHP Louis Head (2012-13), RHP Nick Sandlin (2018), INF Ivan Castillo (2014), Jean Carlos Mejia (2018) and RHP Eli Morgan (2018) and Clement. That ties the record for the most former Captains to debut in a single year, matching 2013 and 2016.
DEFENSIVE FLEXIBILITY: The Captains’ have shuffled their defenders in 2021. Lake County has used four different first baseman, six different second baseman, six different third basemen and two different shortstops.
Raynel Delgado, Brayan Rocchio and José Tena have each played three different infield positions. Victor Nova and Daniel Schneemann have played two different infield positions and left field.
YOUNGSTERS: The Captains have five of the 10 youngest players in the High-A Central League – 1B Joe Naranjo (20), INF Aaron Bracho (20), INF José Tena (20), INF Brayan Rocchio (20) and OF George Valera (20). Naranjo, Bracho and Tena are the three youngest players in the league. Naranjo, who turned 20 on May 11, is the youngest player in all of High-A. Bracho (born 4/21/00) is the second youngest in all of High-A. The Captains have eight players who are age 21 or younger.
HIGH-A: The 2021 season marks the Captains’ first as the High-A Affiliate of the Cleveland Indians. Lake County had been Cleveland’s Low-A Affiliate for 17 seasons (2003-2019) and 18 years (2003-2020).
NEW SKIPPER: Greg DiCenzo was named the Captains’ manager before the eventually-canceled 2020 season.
DiCenzo spent the previous 12 seasons as the head baseball coach at the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, MA. During his time at the helm, DiCenzo was twice named Patriot League Coach of the Year (2008 and 2013).
Prior to his time at Holy Cross, DiCenzo was the pitching coach and recruiting coordinator at Northeastern University for five seasons. He also served as a coach for the Falmouth Commodores in the Cape Cod Baseball League and at his alma mater, St. Lawrence University. DiCenzo enters his second year and first season as a coach in Cleveland’s organization.
NOW IN THE DUGOUT: Grant Fink returns to Lake County in his first year as Captains Hitting Coach. Fink was a Captains infielder in 2014 and 2015, and was the team’s starting third baseman in 2014 when the Captains reached the Midwest League Championship Series. The 2021 season is Fink’s fifth season coaching in the Cleveland organization. Former Captains outfielder Jordan Smith also returns to Lake County in his second season as Bench Coach.

LAST WIN: 6/11/21 at FW LAST LOSS: 6/25/21 at GL
LAST HR ALLOWED: 6/25/21 at GL (Leonel Valera) NO-HITTER/PERFECT GAME: N/A LAST TIME OUT: Burns took the loss at Great Lakes last Friday. The right-hander gave up a home run to the
first batter he faced, Leonel Valera, in the first inning. He went on to allow four runs, three earned, over 4.1 innings. On the flip side, Burns set a career-high with nine strikeouts and walked just one. The Captains lost, 6- 3.
COLLEGE ACCOLADES: After a solid freshman campaign, Burns broke through in 2019 and was named a third team All-American by Perfect Game. Prior to the 2020 season Burns was Named Preseason All-SEC, Preseason All-America by Baseball America, Collegiate Baseball, D1 Baseball and Perfect Game. In just four games in 2020 Burns was off to a hot start striking out 12.9 per nine innings and had a 3-1 record with a 2.42 ERA.
TEAM USA: In 2018, Burns was selected to the USA Collegiate National Team. Burns appeared in four games allowing five runs over 7.2 innings. He allowed nine hits, struck out six and walked one. Also on the team were back to back first overall draft picks Adley Rutschman (2019) and Spencer Torkelson (2020).
2020 DRAFT: Cleveland selected Burns in the CBA round (36th overall) of the 2020 draft, which was shortened to five rounds. Burns was Cleveland’s second selection in the draft, following SS Carson Tucker (1st Round – 23rd overall).
PREVIOUSLY DRAFTED: Originally drafted by the New York Yankees in the 37th round of the 2017 draft out of Decatur High School (Decatur, AL).
MR. ALABAMA: Burns was named Mr. Alabama his senior season of high school. Along with being one of the top pitchers in the state he hit .467 with 16 homers, 10 doubles, four triples and 46 RBI as a senior in High School.
RECRUITING BATTLE: A highly sought after recruit in Alabama, Burns originally committed to the University of Alabama but decided to weigh other options when Crimson Tide Head Coach Mitch Gaspard resigned in 2016, eventually committing to Auburn. Burns grew up an Alabama fan and only committed to the Tide’s arch-rival Auburn due to Head Coach Butch Thompson’s experience developing pitchers. He says he took a lot of heat for committing to Auburn from friends he grew up with.
STAR MENTORS: While at Auburn, Burns had a variety of people with great track records to learn from. Auburn Head Coach Butch Thompson has had 16 of his former pitchers make the big leagues including 10 since 2014.
He previously worked as the Associate Head Coach and Pitching Coach at Mississippi State. Among the stars coached by Thompson is 2018 number one overall pick Casey Mize. Burns worked closely with Mize at Auburn, and was throwing partners with Mize during his freshman year of 2018. He took over the premier role in the rotation from Mize, operating as the teams Friday night starter in 2019 and 2020. Tim Hudson joined Thompson’s staff in 2020 as a volunteer assistant and pitching coach, also getting the chance to mold Burns’
game. The former Auburn great and 17 year MLB veteran worked with Burns for a short time in 2020 before the season was shortened but Burns says the two will have a relationship for the rest of his life.
FUTURE DEVELOPMENT: Kevin Goldstein of FanGraphs says Burns brings “big stuff out of a small package”
with good secondary pitches to go with solid velocity (sits 93-94) on his fastball. Eric Logenhagen, also of FanGraphs, describes Burns as “an org based bet.” Logenhagen sees Burns as someone who’s future value mostly revolves around Cleveland’s recent ability to develop pitchers. “I’ve always been a little lower on him due to his middling velocity and projectionless frame, but he executes his secondary stuff very consistently”
Logenhagen said. Baseball America sites Burns offspeed pitches as potential plus pitches, especially his curveball and slider. Burns earns praise for his dedication, makeup and desire to learn.
