Gamblers' #2 Prospect Makes Playoff Roster After Great September
The Atlantic City Gamblers promoted the team's #2 prospect - left-handed pitcher Claudio García - to the big league roster during the month of September after his excellent Class-AAA campaign. After an excellent September in limited innings, the Gamblers have formally added him to the playoff roster and have optioned right-handed pitcher Fernando Núñez in a corresponding move.
García, 23, started the 2050 season with Class-AA Trenton, making three starts and recorded a 2-0 record with a 1.00 ERA, a 0.94 WHIP, a 1.06 FIP, a .182 opponents' average, a .472 opponents' OPS, 27 strikeouts, and a 1.0 WAR in 18 innings pitched. García was promoted to Class-AAA Brooklyn in April, and finished the season 9-8 with a 3.38 ERA, a 1.08 WHIP, a 2.98 FIP, a .228 opponents' average, a .656 opponents' OPS, 157 strikeouts, and a 3.1 WAR in 154 2/3 innings pitched (24 starts). García was named the #91 BBA prospect in April 2050 and improved to the #78 BBA prospect in June 2050.
In nine appearances with the Gamblers in September, García recorded a 0-0 record with 1 save in 1 attempt (1.000 save percentage), a 0.00 ERA, a 0.93 WHIP, a 1.78 FIP, a .206 opponents' average, a .535 opponents' OPS, 11 strikeouts, and a 0.3 WAR in 9 2/3 innings pitched.
Núñez, 25, struggled in his rookie BBA season, finishing the season 0-0 with a 5.72 ERA, a 1.53 WHIP, a 5.93 FIP, a .304 opponents' average, a .904 opponents' OPS, 30 strikeouts, and a -0.9 WAR in 45 2/3 innings pitched (33 appearances, 1 start). Núñez was coming off back-to-back impressive seasons with Class-AAA Brooklyn in 2048 (2.33 ERA / 0.97 WHIP / 2.76 FIP) and 2049 (1.59 ERA / 0.90 WHIP / 2.66 FIP), but that success did not carry over to the Gamblers. Núñez's future with the Gamblers organization remains a legitimate question.
