UPDATE: And Jose Perdomo got some love, as the All-Star Team pitcher.

What happened?

This was something of a breakout performance for Perdomo, who responded with a brilliant 2010. He led the team in IP, Wins, WHIP, and Strikeouts, culminating in the highest of honors: Astros County's GCL Pitcher of the Year. (Also, he was a GCL Postseason All-Star.)

His 69 strikeouts were the second-highest in the entire GCL (a 4.0 K/9 increase over 2009), and the 5th-lowest WHIP of any pitcher throwing more than 40IP.

What went right?

Obviously the strikeouts went right. He struck out 1.19 righty batters/inning and 1.07 lefty batters/inning this season. Perdomo also posted a 1.19 ERA/0.95 WHIP against RHB.

Limiting hits. Perdomo only allowed batters to hit .172 all season long, and was consistent throughout the season (.125 in one June game, .173 in July, and .178 in August).

Pitching on the road. Perdomo did well in five home starts, but blew it up in six road starts, posting a 0.55 ERA/0.82 WHIP on the road.

What went wrong?

Uh. Nothing really went wrong, I guess. Eleven of his 20 walks came with runners on base. That's all I can really find.

Perdomo will probably head to Greeneville, given how young he is, but he is a front-runner for Astros County's Eddie's Farm Pitcher of the Year, as unwieldy as the title of that award may be.

In Review: Gulf Coast League Astros

So later on - perhaps today - we'll start the In Review section of the posting schedule, in which we recap the minor-league season, player-by-player. This is an effort to get a jump on the posting as soon as the season ends, as we barely got to Lancaster last year before Spring Training started.

But right now we take a look at the GCL Astros as a team.

The GCL Astros finished the season 20-36, 17GB of the GCL Marlins, and 4GB of the GCL Yankees for the worst record in the GCL.

Home: 11-16
Away: 9-20

It should be pointed out that the average age of the GCL Astros' batters was 18.8 - below the League average of 19.6.

Runs: 216 (15th out of 16), 3.86 per game
Doubles: 74 (16th)
Triples: 20 (2nd)
Homers: 11 (16th)
Stolen Bases: 55 (11th) - 32 caught stealing - 63.2% SB rate
Strikeouts: 437 (7th-most)
Walks: 162 (12th)

Batting Average: .232 (15th)
OBP: .305 (15th)
SLG: .311 (16th)
OPS: .616 (16th)

The GCL Astros' pitchers fared about the same, with their 19.6-year old average almost a full year below the 20.5 average for pitchers in the GCL.

Runs allowed/game: 5.71 (16th)
ERA: 4.38 (16th)
WHIP: 1.49 (16th)
Strikeouts: 415 (12th)
Walks: 204 (14th) - 2.03 K:BB ratio
Wild Pitches: 70 (15th)

Fielding Errors: 135 (16th)
Fielding Percentage: .938 (15th)
Passed Balls: 14 (7th)
Stolen Bases on: 67
Caught Stealing: 28 (T-5th)
Caught Stealing %: 29% (10th)

Team Leaders:
Runs: Jose Monzon (24)
Hits: Jordan Scott (44)
Doubles: Jose Vargas (12)
Triples: Jose Fernandez (6)
Homers: Jose Monzon (3)
RBI: Jose Vargas (23)
Total Bases: Jose Fernandez (63)
Strikeouts (most): Jose Fernandez (49)
Walks: Chan-Jong Moon (19)
Stolen Bases: Garen Wright (14)

Avg (100 AB minimum): Jordan Scott (.301)
OBP: Jordan Scott (.372)
SLG: Jordan Scott (.370)

IP: Jose Perdomo (59.1)
Wins: Jose Perdomo (4)
Losses: Danilo Del Rio (7)
ERA (10IP min.): Matison Smith (1.59)
WHIP (10IP min.): Jose Perdomo (0.98)
Strikeouts: Jose Perdomo (69)
Walks (by starter): Danilo Del Rio (13 walks, 57.1IP)

Offensive Employee of the Year: It could feasibly go to Rafael Valenzuela, but he only played 16 games for the GCL Astros before getting promoted. So the Offensive Employee of the Year goes to Jordan Scott.

Pitcher of the Year: Jose Perdomo. In 11 starts, he allowed 11 earned runs, and posted 10.5 K/9, and a 3.45 K:BB ratio.

Eddie's Farm: August 1

Round Rock

The Constable will get to his impressions of the Round Rock game last night in a separate post, so we'll keep this in it's regular format for now. Round Rock allowed the first time runs of the game, then stormed back to take a 6-5 lead going into the bottom of the 9th, and ended up losing to Nashville 7-6. Andy Van Hekken threw 5.1IP, 8H/5R (4ER), 2K:2BB. Mark Melancon allowed 2H/0ER in 1.2IP. Danny Meszaros gave up a hit and an intentional walk in 1IP, and Chris Sampson got the loss with 4H/2ER in 0.2IP. Edwin Maysonet was 3x5 with an RBI, Jack Shuck was 2x5 with a triple and 2RBI, and Collin DeLome hit his 10th and 11th homers.

Man of the Match: Collin DeLome

Corpus

It was within the realm of possibility that the Hooks could have held Midland to two hits and lost. However, Corpus scored in the 8th for the 1-0 win. Doug Arguello threw 5IP, 1H/0ER, 6K:4BB (six groundouts, one flyout) for the No Decision; Edwin Walker threw 3IP, 1H/0ER, 2K:1BB for the win, and Jared Wells closed it out for his first save. Albert Cartwright was 2x4, as was Geoff Blum, with Blum's flyball to the warning track scoring Cartwright. Freddy Parejo, Kody Kirkland, and Jimmy Van Ostrand collected the other hits. The Hooks struck out 12 times - 3 from Gaston and 2 each from Parejo, Cartwright, and Santangelo.

Man of the Match: I'm not giving a Double-A Man of the Match to Geoff Blum. Albert Cartwright gets it.

Lancaster

High-scoring affair out at Coors Lite! Lancaster scores the last six runs of the game for the 11-9 win over Bakersfield. Ross Seaton continued his yo-yo season, allowing 10H/9R (7ER), 2WP in 3.2IP. Shane Wolf struck out six and allowed just three hits in 5.1IP of relief. Big night for SS Jonathan Villar! 4x4, with two doubles, two runs, 4RBI, and a stolen base. Jay Austin (2x5, 2B, 3B, SB), Brandon Barnes (2x5, 2B, HR, 2RBI), and Lee Cruz (2x4, 2B, RBI) had your multi-hit games, while Andy Simunic only had one hit, but made it count with a 3-run HR.

Man of the Match: Jonathan Villar

Lexington

Another come-from-behind victory for Eddie's Farm, as Lexington comes from 2-1 down for a 7-2 win. Juan Minaya allowed 6H/2ER, 1K:4BB in 6IP (13 groundouts:2 flyouts), while Brenden Stines allowed one walk, no hits. in 3IP for the win. Stines' ERA = 1.64. Jake Goebbert was 4x5 with two runs an and an RBI, Kody Hinze was 3x4 with two doubles, a walk, and 2RBI. Jiovanni Mier, Rene Garcia (3B, RBI), and Grant Hogue had two hits each. Jimmy Paredes added a double and an RBI.

Man of the Match: Kody Hinze.

Tri-City

Pitchers' duel out in Connecticut, with the ValleyCats dropping 3-1. Bobby Doran threw 6IP, 4H/2ER, 3K:1BB, WP in a hard-luck loss, with John Frawley allowing a hit and an unearned run in 2IP. Ben Heath, Adam Bailey, Oscar Figueroa, and Ryan McCurdy provided your hits - with Bailey getting the RBI. Dan Adamson drew two walks, and he and Oscar Figueroa stole a base each. The ValleyCats were 1x10 w/RISP.

Man of the Match: Bobby Doran.

Greeneville

Johnson City scored four in the 5th, and went on to win 5-2. Ruben Alaniz allowed 8H/5R (4ER), 2K:1BB. Garrett Bullock gave up two hits, 3K:2BB in 3.1IP of relief, and Jamaine Cotton threw a scoreless 9th. It was his first scoreless outing since July 6 (five appearances). Telvin Nash hit his 9th homer - a two-run shot - in the 4th, providing all the runs, while Merritt, Wallace, Nidiffer, and Chris Lovett provided the other hits.

Man of the Match: Telvin Nash

GCL Astros

Hard to believe this game was scoreless going into the 6th. The GCL Marlins whoop up on the GCL Astros 13-2. Jose Perdomo threw 6IP, 4H/4R (2ER), 5K:3BB. Raul Rivera and Juan Mojica each gave up 3ER, while Rafael Feliz allowed three unearned runs in 0.1IP. The GCL Astros committed six errors: Ditthardt, two from Fernandez, Genoves, and two from Chan-Jong Moon. Jose Monzon and Enrique Fernandez had two hits each, while Ryan Ditthardt and Jose Vargas provided the two other hits. Chan-Jong Moon, playing at 3rd, did draw two walks.

Man of the Match: Ugh. Jose Perdomo?

DSL Astros

The DSL Astros didn't get a hit until Jose Solano singled with two outs in the bottom of the 9th, and the DSL Dodgers obviously win 5-0. Enderson Franco threw 5IP, 4H/2ER, 1K:0BB, while Cristian Hirland allowed 8H/3ER, 2K:0BB in 3IP. Edgar Ferreira threw a scoreless 9th, though allowing two walks and a wild pitch. There was clearly not much going on offensively, with Solano's 9th inning single. But Yonathan Mejia drew a walk, and Luis De La Rosa drew two walks.

Man of the Match: Enderson Franco, I suppose.

Eddie's Farm: July 15

Round Rock

Albuquerque scored the final four runs in the 8th and 9th innings to send it to extras tied at 6-6, but Tommy Everidge is a large man hitting large home runs.

Fernando Abad got the win with an unearned run-less 8th, and Danny Meszaros got his 10th save of the year. Everyone in the lineup (save for Jose Vallejo) got a hit, with David Cook (2x4, RBI), Jonathan Fixler (2x4, 3B, RBI) getting your multi-hit games. Freddy Parejo doubled in the game-winning runs in the top of the 9th.

Man of the Match: Freddy Parejo

Lancaster

Modesto got three in the top of the 1st, and that's all they needed for a 3-1 win over the JetHawks. Pat Urckfitz threw 7IP, 4H/3ER, 4K:1BB for the loss. Ashton Mowdy allowed 2H/2ER, 0K:2BB in 1IP, and Shane Wolf allowed 2H/1ER in the 9th. Barry Butera was 1x3 with a triple and an RBI, and Federico Hernandez got his own triple.

The offense is starting to click in Tri-City as the ValleyCats scored eight runs in the final four innings for a 9-8 win over Auburn. Bobby Doran threw 3IP, 5H/5ER, 4K:1BB, and Andrew Robinson allowed 2H/1ER, 3K:0BB in 2IP. Travis Blankenship (2IP) and Chris Blazek (1IP) threw scoreless innings, while Mike Ness made things interesting, allowing two runs in the 9th, but still getting the save. Wilton Infante was 2x3 with two runs for your only multi-hit game. Ben Heath was 1x3 with 3RBI, and Enrique Hernandez and Adam Bailey had your other RBIs - taking advantage of four Auburn errors for three unearned runs.

Man of the Match: Ben Heath

Greeneville

The Gastros battled all night long, down 3-0, tied 4-4, tied 7-7, to win 13-8 over Burlington. Euris Quezada allowed 8H/7R (5ER), 0K:2BB in 4.1IP, and Garrett Bullock got the win with 1.2 scoreless IP. Ryan Cole threw a scoreless 7th of his own, and Phil Rorabaugh allowed 3H/1ER in 2IP.
