He struck out five. Gee was taken deep by Pablo Sandoval and Hector Sanchez, a longball that knocked the right-hander out of the game. It’s easily Gee’s worst outing of the year, as he entered the game with a sub-3.00 ERA. He’ll have to bounce back this weekend in a tough venue in Colorado.

The dynamic 27-year-old outfielder evened the score at one run apiece as he smacked an RBI single into center in the home half of the first inning. He then swiped second base before being stranded there. Baddoo also drew a one-out walk in the seventh inning and rode home on Mike Boeve’s two-run blast. He’s hitting an impressive .353 (6-for-17) with a homer, four RBI and two stolen bases so far in spring training and could make the Brewers’ Opening Day roster in a reserve role.

Lockridge drew a start in right field and hit second for the Brewers in this one. He drew a one-out walk off of Mitch Bratt in the opening inning, swiped second base and scored the Brewers’ first run on a two-out RBI knock off the bat of Akil Baddoo. He looks to be fully recovered from the rotator cuff contusion that sidelined him earlier in the week.

On the plus side though, he managed to record five strikeouts and didn’t walk a batter. The Diamondbacks scratched out a run against him in the opening inning, then Manuel Pena clubbed a solo shot in the second. Patrick got a whopping 10 swings and misses on just 52 pitches in the ballgame — three each on his cutter and slurve — while posting a stellar CSW of 37 percent. He has proven to be a viable fantasy asset when given an opportunity in the Brewers’ rotation and is a name for fantasy managers to keep in mind toward the tail end of drafts.

Young probably won’t play against lefties, won’t steal a ton of bases and will be held back by his home ballpark, so his fantasy ceiling is rather low. Still, he has a chance be a fine platoon second baseman for Seattle at just 22 years old. He held his own last year thanks to his excellent plate discipline, and there’s definitely more power on the way, as he’s demonstrating this spring. All four of his balls in play today were hard hit.

Anderson, the third overall pick in the 2025 draft, isn’t going to open this season in the majors, but he might finish it in Seattle. He threw 25 of his 34 pitches for strikes today. Last year, he had a 180/35 K/BB in 119 innings for LSU.

Leiter struck out four and walked none, so that’s good. However, he gave up eight hard-hit balls in all, including Brennen Davis’s 116.7-mph homer that was one of the hardest hit balls this spring. In three spring outings, Leiter has given up 16 hard-hit balls on 24 events. That’s too much loud contact from a pitcher who is worse than average in terms of both walks and inducing grounders.

Davis, who was a Top 100 Prospect for Baseball America each season from 2019-22, never has had much luck staying healthy but still flashes outlandish talent from time to time. For instance, today’s homer off Jack Leiter was crushed at 116.7 mph. He doesn’t have much of a chance of making the Mariners out of spring training, but he could potentially help against lefties if can stay off the IL.

Despite the increased traffic on the basepaths, Bratt allowed just one run on one hit on the afternoon while punching out two opposing hitters. The lone tally against him came as Akil Baddoo smacked a run-scoring single in the home half of the first inning. Bratt got just three swings and misses on 52 pitches on the day, posting an underwhelming CSW of only 19 percent. He’s on track to debut with the D’Backs at some point during the 2026 campaign.

The 26-year-old former top prospect squared up a 1-2 sinker from Joe Ross in the fourth inning and blasted a 419-foot (111.3 mph EV) three-run shot that increased the White Sox’ edge to 6-0. That would be the extent of the scoring in the contest. Kelenic finished the day 1-for-3 and is now hitting ,200 (4-for-20) with a homer, four RBI, two stolen bases and a 7/1 K/BB ratio on the spring.

Dunn did his damage off of Landon Sims in the second inning, crushing a 429-foot (107.7 mph EV) three-run shot that gave the White Sox an early 3-0 edge. That would be his only hit in four at-bats on the day. The 28-year-old outfielder is facing an uphill battle at earning a spot on the White Sox’ Opening Day roster, but this was at least a step in the right direction for him.
