Lake Elsinore 4, (4-0) Lancaster 3: The Storm won walk-off style, in 14 innings. The winning hit came courtesy of 2B Casey McElroy (.667), who went 2-5, including the walk-off single. McElroy is 10-15 since joining the Storm. DH Tommy Medica went 3-6(.325), and slammed his ninth homer. Matt Jackson turned in a solid start, allowing just one hit in six shutout innings.

Lake County 4, Fort Wayne 2 (2-1):  Another day at the office for SS Jace Peterson(.286) as he went 2-4 with a triple and an RBI. Tyler Stubblefield(.267) also had a pair of hits. Colin Rea(3.13 ERA) got the start for the Tincaps, and took the loss, as he gave up four runs in three innings.

Boise 14, Eugene 11 (5-5): It was a wild one in Boise, but the Em’s could not get anyone out. On the offensive side, Brian Adams(.316) had a monster game, going 4-5, with two HR’s and 5 RBI’s. Genison Reyes got shelled in his start, as he gave up five runs in 2.2 innings.

Well, Tyler Stubblefield, an infielder from Kennesaw State University, was selected by the Padres in the 22nd round of the 2010 draft today.

Stubblefield, 22, is a solid all-around player.

He’s the first Padres draftee with a batting average under .300 this year, but he hit .285/.381/.475 with nine homers and a nearly even K/BB ratio. He also successfully converted all 20 of his steal attempts.

Stubblefield also made 23 errors in 54 games, which needs to come down. He has a funky arm angle on his throws, and tend to drop down to almost submarine, which is problematic.

Stubblefield does show a smooth swing with a hint of loft.

I’m not thrilled with this pick, but Stubblefield does have some intriguing skills. There just seem to be some holes in his game (errors, batting average), and at 22 with a somewhat maxed-out frame, there doesn’t seem to be a whole lot of projection left.
