Lookouts Finish Historic Season as 2017 Southern League Champions
September 21, 2017
By: Anna Grissett

After winning 91 regular season games and setting a new franchise record for the most wins in a single season, it is only fitting that the Chattanooga Lookouts ended their 2017 season as champions of the Southern League. The Lookouts were dominant all season long under first year manager, Jake Mauer, who was named Southern League Manager of the Year. The Lookouts also finished the regular season with the best record in the Southern League (91-49) and the third best record in all of Minor League Baseball. The Lookouts finished third just behind the Trenton Thunder (Double-A Affiliate of the New York Yankees) who finished with the best record in Minor League Baseball (92-48) and the West Michigan Whitecaps (Single-A Affiliate of the Detroit Tigers) who finished with second best record (91-45).

Lookouts third baseman, T.J. White, who was a major offensive contributor for the Lookouts all season long, proved to be a difference maker for the Lookouts during post season play. During the Southern League North Division Championship Series against the Montgomery Biscuits, White homered in each of the first three games of the series.
White's first homer of the North Division Championship Series came in the bottom of the fourth inning of game one, a solo shot which gave the Lookouts a 4-1 lead. White's homer proved to be key in the Lookouts 4-3 game one victory over the Montgomery Biscuits as the Biscuits rallied for two additional runs late in the game.

After being defeated by the Lookouts in game one of the series, the Biscuits showed some grit as they came away with a 3-2 victory in game two. After falling behind 2-1 early in the game, the Lookouts earned their first run of the game in the bottom of the second inning courtesy of a Max Murphy RBI double. Trailing 2-1 in the bottom of the seventh inning, the hottest hitter in the Lookouts lineup, T.J. White stepped to the plate and delivered a clutch game tying solo homer. After a solid seven innings of work in which he allowed just two runs while striking out seven, Lookout starting pitcher, Dereck Rodríguez, exited the game giving way to relief pitcher Cody Stashak. Times proved to be tough for Stashak in game two of the series as he gave up an inside the park home run to Biscuits center fielder, Cade Cannon, in the top of the eighth inning on the first pitch that he delivered in the game. Cannon's solo homer proved to be the difference in the game, as the Biscuits came away with a game two victory, evening the series 1-1.

With the series tied 1-1, the Lookouts and the Biscuits hit the road and traveled to Montgomery, AL for game three of the series which was played at Montgomery Riverwalk Stadium, home of the Montgomery Biscuits. Game three was a pitchers duel as both pitching staffs brought their A+ stuff to the mound. Hits and runs were scarce for both teams in game three but in the end, it was the Lookouts who managed to produce the lone two runs of the game to earn a game three victory. White once again proved to be the hero for the Lookouts in game three after hammering a line drive two-run homer in the top of the fourth inning.

With a 2-1 series lead, the Lookouts returned home to AT&T Field the following night to host the Biscuits in game four of the series. Facing elimination, the Biscuits once again, found a way to rally with their backs against the wall. This time, it was the Biscuits who came away with a 2-0 victory to even the series 2-2 and force a winner take all game five the following night.

With the series tied 2-2 and a championship on the line, the Lookouts and the Biscuits returned to AT&T Field for what would be the final time of the 2017 season for game five of the series. Still carrying momentum from their 2-0 victory over the Lookouts the night before, the Biscuits literally hit the field swinging as they took a 1-0 lead in the top of the first inning when leadoff batter, Cade Cannon hit a double, stole third and scored on a Joe McCarthy liner to left. The long ball once again proved to be a friend to the Lookouts in game five as it had been all season long. In the bottom of the second inning, Lookouts slugger Andy Wilkins tied the game 1-1 after crushing a solo home run, his first of the post season.

In the top of the fourth inning, the Biscuits regained the lead after Nick Ciuffo ripped an RBI single, scoring Cannon and giving the Biscuits a 2-1 lead. After struggling to score throughout the course of the game and trailing 2-1 in the bottom of the ninth inning, it seemed as if the Lookouts championship hopes were in serious jeopardy.

The beautiful thing about baseball is that everything can change with one swing of the bat. After LaMonte Wade Jr led off the inning with an infield single, Jon Rodriguez, who led the Southern League in several offensive categories for the majority of the season but struggled during the postseason after returning from Triple-A Rochester stepped to the plate for the Lookouts with no outs and a runner on first. What happened next proved to be the fairytale ending to the fairytale season as Rodriguez absolutely crushed a no doubt about it two-run homer off of the Lookouts scoreboard behind the left field wall, giving the Lookouts a 3-2 game five victory in walk-off fashion and a share of the Southern League title.

Due to the effects of Hurricane Irma, the decision to cancel the 2017 championship series was made which resulted in a co-championship to be shared between the Southern League North Division Champions, the Chattanooga Lookouts and the Southern League South Division Champions, the Pensacola Blue Wahoos. For Chattanooga, their title in 2017 was their second in the last three years, after winning the outright title in 2015.

SDSU Too Much for NDSU in Battle for Dakota Marker
JACKS HAND BISON FIRST LOSS OF THE SEASON.

November 4, 2017

Image

BROOKINGS, S.D. (NDSU Athletics) – No. 8-ranked South Dakota State forced five turnovers and claimed the Dakota Marker trophy for the second straight year with a 33-21 win over No. 2-ranked North Dakota State on Saturday, Nov. 4, before a crowd of 18,130 at Dana J. Dykhouse Stadium.

North Dakota State (8-1, 5-1) remains alone in first place atop the Missouri Valley Football Conference after Illinois State and South Dakota each took their second league losses Saturday and slipped into a four-way tie for second place with South Dakota State (7-2, 4-2) and Northern Iowa.

Taryn Christion went 23 of 33 passing for 329 yards and two touchdowns for South Dakota State, which never trailed after opening the game with a 7-play, 75-yard touchdown drive. Tight end Dallas Goedert caught seven passes for 116 yards and one score, while Jacob Brown made five catches for 59 yards and a TD.

Easton Stick was 16 of 28 passing for 229 yards and two scores for NDSU, but threw three interceptions and had one of NDSU’s two fumbles which led to 17 points off turnovers. Cody Cannon made a career-high seven receptions for 95 yards.

NDSU trailed 17-7 at halftime but came out of the locker room with a six-play scoring drive. Dimitri Williams returned the second half kickoff 39 yards to the NDSU 41, Stick connected with Cannon for 21 yards on third-and-18 after a pair of losses, the Bison got 19 yards on a run and holding penalty, and Ty Brooks made his first career TD catch from 24 yards to pull NDSU within 17-14.

The Bison turned it over on their next two possessions leading to a Mikey Daniel touchdown run and Chase Vinatieri’s 41-yard field goal, which gave the Jackrabbits their biggest lead of the day, 27-14.

NDSU took advantage of a muffed punt four plays later, recovering the loose ball at SDSU’s 14 and scoring two plays later on Stick’s 11-yard keeper to make it a 27-21 game with 13:56 left to play.

SDSU took to the ground on its next possession, running nearly seven minutes off the clock with an 11-play scoring drive that included seven carries for 47 yards before converting a fourth-and-4 to Jake Wieneke for 14 yards and getting a one-handed catch by Goedert on the next play for a 19-yard score that made it 33-21.

The Bison got to the SDSU 18 on their next drive but fumbled it away with 3:56 left in the game, and another interception with 1:58 left in the game allowed the Jackrabbits to kneel out the clock.

North Dakota State is scheduled to host South Dakota at 2:30 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 11, in the annual Harvest Bowl game at Gate City Bank Field at the Fargodome. USD is 7-2 overall and 4-2 in the conference after a 34-29 loss at Northern Iowa.

RAYS PROSPECTS

2017 Season Review: Montgomery Biscuits Top Prospects

By jtmorgan | @JoshuaTMorgan | Nov 8, 2017, 1:20pm EST

Image

The Montgomery Biscuits managed the second best record in the Southern League (76-64) despite being the league’s youngest team by nearly a year at 23.4.

Montgomery bats put up a .263/.339/.392 line and had the third highest OPS in the league. They scored 4.62 runs per game which was good for second. The offense was quite solid. The caliber of prospects isn’t on the level of the Durham Bulls, but there are some interesting role players.

Biscuit pitchers allowed 4.19 runs per game, and lacked the strike-out power of their Durham counterparts.

To be eligible for my top ten prospect list, a player must maintain rookie eligibility, which is 130 plate appearances for position players and 50 innings pitched for pitchers. For players that played at multiple levels I generally put them where they had more playing time, and all players will only be eligible for one list.

#1. Justin Williams, OF
In the past I have been critical of Justin William’s batting profile. Coming into this year he swung at anything that moved, which contributed to a walk rate hovering around 3%. Much like Corey Dickerson he was able to put enough balls into play to put up respectable lines, but he hit a lot of ground balls.

This year, everything changed. Williams looked confident at the plate. He missed a couple weeks to an undisclosed injury, but raked upon his return. In 326 plate appearances after his return he hit .300/.374/.484 and put up a 147 wRC+. His walk rate was up to 10.4% while keeping a very good 15.0% strikeout rate. He was able to reach more of his raw power by swinging at a higher percentage of drivable balls.

Williams was the second youngest player in the Southern League to get at least 250 PA, trailing only Nick Gordon of the Twins.

I wrote more in depth about his approach changes in late August. If he can keep this going he has the potential to be an impact bat by 2019.

#2. Genesis Cabrera, LHP
At 6’1” 170 lbs, Genesis Cabrera isn’t a large pitcher, but he has a live arm. He brings a fastball that sits 93-96. A mid 80s slider is his breaking ball of choice. His changeup isn’t consistent, but it’s a workable third pitch.

Cabrera threw 134.1 innings split almost evenly between Port Charlotte and Montgomery. He put up a 3.22 ERA and 3.73 FIP with a 19.5% strikeout rate and 9.1% walk rate.

To take Cabrera to the next level you’d like to see a few more strikeouts and a few less walks.

#3. Nick Ciuffo, C
Nick Ciuffo was drafted in the first round of the 2013 draft as a bat first, high school catcher. Over the years he had developed into a very good defender. He caught 23 of 60 baserunners (38.3%) and has become a very good receiver.

Much like Williams, Ciuffo has been a free swinger. In the previous two seasons he walked a total of 18 times in 629 plate appearances (2.9% walk rate). Along with the walks came more power. His seven homers in 2017 bested his five total homers he hit from 2013-16. His 29 doubles were also a career high.

Ciuffo’s bat heated up to end the season hitting .279/.368/.424 and put up a 131 wRC+ over his final 190 plate appearances dating back to July 1.

It’s very likely that Ciuffo becomes a platoon catcher. His left handed bat should see him capable of getting 100-120 starts a year. He showed rather large splits this year putting up a .741 OPS versus right handed pitchers and .599 OPS versus left handed pitchers.

#4. Cade Cannon, OF
Cade Cannon was a 40th round pick in the 2013 draft. Based purely on talent he would have been a much higher pick but he was committed to play football at Minnesota at the time. After a few seasons at Minnesota he decided to return to baseball and was invited to spring training. Cannon showed great speed and fielding ability but struggled at the plate and was assigned to Bowling Green. After showing some improvement at the plate he was called up to Montgomery at the end of June.

Cannon played in 61 games at Montgomery. In 239 plate appearances he batted .221 with 16 walks. He hit seven triples and 12 doubles, thanks in large part to his speed. Cannon struck out 39 times. Cannon continues to struggle with patience at the plate but more than makes up for it with his base running prowess and outstanding fielding ability.

At this point Cannon, 23, could find himself in Durham next season with the potential for a late season call up to the big club as a bench player to give the team a pinch running threat and some defensive flexibility. He'll need to continue to improve at the plate if he hopes to be an everyday player at the MLB level.

#5. Jake Cronenworth, SS
Jake Cronenworth was drafted in the seventh round in 2015 out of the University of Michigan. He played first, second, and third while also being the closer.

Most scouts liked him on the mound as a fast moving relief prospect, but the Rays drafted him as a position player, and developed him as a shortstop. With his strong arm he has thrived defensively in that role.

He started the season in Port Charlotte, but was promoted to Montgomery in mid July. For the season he hit .274/.364/.354 and put up a 116 wRC+. He has a solid approach and hits for a lot of contact. His power is very limited. He won’t hit more than a handful of homers, but gets his fair share of doubles and triples.

Cronenworth’s left handed bat would seem to make him a good platoon candidate. He put up a .767 OPS vs right handed pitchers while putting up a .586 OPS vs left handed pitchers.

Cronenworth’s history of playing every position in the infield makes him perfect for a bench role in the majors. I’m not sure he’ll hit enough to force his way into the lineup everyday against right handed batters, but his defensive versatility should make sure he has a MLB career.

#6. Joe McCarthy, 1B/OF
Joe McCarthy fell to the Rays in the fifth round of the 2015 after missing most of his junior year at the University of Virginia due to back surgery. This caused him to play more 1B than outfield while his back strengthened. This season he split time evenly between left field and first base.

McCarthy is athletic enough to play corner outfield. He doesn’t hit for the power you typically expect out of a corner bat. He’s an on base machine. He hit .284/.409/.434 and put up a 149 wRC+. He hit seven homers and stole 20 bases.

McCarthy showed a very small split putting up a .849 OPS vs right handed pitchers and a .815 OPS vs left handed pitchers. There isn’t a lot of room for error for corner bats without power, but McCarthy can hit and get on base.

#7. Hunter Wood, RHP
Hunter Wood was the Rays 29th round pick in the 2013 draft. He was added to the 40 man roster last winter and got his first cup of coffee this year. He faced one batter in his MLB debut out of the bullpen.

Wood throws a 90-94 mph fast ball with the ability to touch 96 out of the bullpen. He flashes a plus change up. His curve is average to above with tight spin.

Wood started the season in the Montgomery rotation and put up a 4.76 ERA and 3.58 FIP in 70 innings and 12 starts. In the middle of June he was promoted to Durham and made six starts before transitioning to the bullpen.

In 23.0 innings across 13 appearances Woods showed effectiveness out of the bullpen in a multiple inning role. He allowed a 1.96 ERA and 3.90 FIP. His strikeout rate surged to 26.9% and held a 8.6% walk rate.

#8. Dalton Kelly, 1B
Dalton Kelly was 38th round pick in the 2015 draft by the Seattle Mariners before being acquired by the Rays in the deal that send Taylor Motter and Richie Shaffer to Seattle.

After his mid-season promotion to Montgomery he went on a power surge. After putting up .106 ISO while at Port Charlotte that ballooned to a .214 ISO with Montgomery. For the season he hit .304/.399/.458 and put up a 153 wRC+. The average isn’t sustainable as it required a .392 BABIP, but the results are at least intriguing.

I’m not generally a fan of first base only prospects, but there could be something there.

#9. Greg Harris, RHP
Greg Harris was the 17th round pick of the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 2013 draft. He was acquired as part of the Joel Peralta trade before the 2015 season. Harris’s fastball sits 92-96. His best secondary is a mid 80s changeup that is above average. He also throws a curveball and cutter that are fringe average.

Harris has an awkward delivery that causes him to lose the zone at times. For this reason it is largely believed that he’ll end up in the bullpen. He ended the 2017 season pitching out of the Montgomery pen.

Overall, Harris had a 4.90 ERA and 4.62 FIP over 97.1 innings. He had a little bit of a homer problem with an elevated 12.0% HR/FB rate and 1.39 HR/9. The final 20.0 innings he threw was out of the bullpen in 13 appearances. His strikeout rate stayed relatively the same, but he walked a few more in the very small sample.

Harris’s transition to the bullpen is something to watch if the Rays continue down that road in 2018.

#10. Ian Gibaut, RHP
Ian Gibaut was the Rays 11th round pick in the 2015 draft out of the Tulane University. Gibaut battled control problems in college, but brought big strikeout totals. Much of that is still the same today.

Gibaut’s fastball lives in the 93-96 range. He has a power slider sitting in the mid to high 80s. He also throws an average changeup.

Gibaut had a 2.21 ERA and 3.47 FIP over 61.0 innings. He started the season in Port Charlotte, but was promoted to Montgomery before the end of April. He posted a 30.6% strikeout rate and 10.7% walk rate.

Gibaut is a reliever who is unlikely to be a high leverage option, but should be able to give you innings out of a major league bullpen.

#11. Jose Mujica, RHP
Jose Mujica was Baseball America’s top arm in the 2012 international free agent market out of Venezuela. The Rays signed him for a $1MM bonus.

Mujica’s fastball lives in the low 90s and his changeup is his best secondary offering. He throws a curveball and slider that run from below average to fringe average.

Mujica started the year in Port Charlotte, but made two starts before being promoted to Montgomery. In 165.2 total innings he put up a 3.04 ERA and 4.40 FIP. He rarely strikes batters out (13.5%) and limits walks (6.7%).

Mujica continues to put up results, but the peripherals are disappointing for a player of his initial pedigree. He’s done a good job limiting damage, but at some point that probably isn’t enough.

McFeely: USD has Superman Streveler and little else in loss to Bison

Image

Fargo

It's too bad Chris Streveler couldn't play defense for South Dakota. The Coyotes might've had a chance against North Dakota State if that was the case. As it was, USD tackled as if the Bison had the Zika virus, leaving their head coach disgusted and accomplishing the near-impossible task of making the long bus ride back to Vermillion even longer.

Streveler did a lot of things for the Coyotes on Saturday at the Fargodome, including running and passing and probably filling water bottles and making sandwiches, but even a Superman performance from the senior quarterback wasn't nearly enough. The Bison won 49-14 to calm the masses after a loss to South Dakota State last week.

"He's pretty unique," USD coach Bob Nielson said. "I've had some awfully good players over the years. I feel bad. We had a handful of guys that left it out there and he was certainly one of them. We just didn't have enough today."

If last week's turnover-fest in Brookings had Bison fans nervous this season was going to crumble into a pile of ashes, the beatdown of Coyotes should've served as a salve. NDSU quarterback Easton Stick was near-perfect, Cody Cannon and Darrius Shepherd feasted on the secondary and the Bison ran the ball like crazy, just like the good old days of a month ago. Let the Frisco Train start chugging again.

There wasn't much good to report for USD, a team that was once the surprise darling of the Football Championship Subdivision but is now fighting for a spot in the playoffs with one week left in the regular season. About the only positive was Streveler, perhaps the closest thing you'll get to a one-man team in the Missouri Valley Football Conference.

Without the benefit of NFL-level receivers like those who play with quarterback Taryn Christion for SDSU-or much of an offensive line-Streveler accounted for 325 of USD's 419 offensive yards. He was his team's leading rusher with 93 yards and he completed 30 of 47 passes for 232 yards.

He escaped pressure, he found receivers on the run, he extended plays with his feet, he plowed ahead for extra yards and he scraped himself off the artificial turf more often than he should have. It never occurred Nielson to take his franchise player out of the game in the fourth quarter, even after the score was far out of reach.

"You talk about a most valuable player to a football team, even when it was 42 or 49-14 you always thought they had a chance because of what he can do," Bison coach Chris Klieman said.

Streveler made the 18,623 fans inside the dome nervous on the game's first possession. He sprinted for 10 yards on a third-and-7 on the game's third play and finished off the drive nine plays later on third-and-13 by escaping pressure and running 19 yards for a touchdown. The Coyotes were up 7-0 and the Bison defense that couldn't get off the field last week against the Jackrabbits was back on its heels again.

There were more flashes from Streveler over the course of the afternoon. He's fun to watch. He has the demeanor of kid playing football in the backyard, casually dropping back and running around as needed to make a play.

Streveler's value can be summed up by a play he made with 5 minutes left in the third quarter. Bison defensive end Stanley Jones broke free on a pass rush and got both his hands on the quarterback. But Streveler shook off the tackle and sprinted around left end for 17 yards.

"He's a really an athletic quarterback, probably one of the more aggressive quarterbacks, too," Bison cornerback Tre Dempsey said. "Most quarterbacks just want to slide when you get a hand on them, he wants to outrun you or run you over. Last year was the same way. We were whacking him and he's like a running back, he don't care. He hopped right up."

The problem for USD was that Streveler was limited to playing quarterback. Defensively, the Coyotes couldn't tackle and, in Nielson's mind, didn't put much effort into it. NDSU ended up with 647 yards of offense. That's the type of number the Coyotes were putting up earlier in the season.

"I think Chris Streveler played a heck of a game today," Nielson said. "He didn't get a lot of help. He made plays with his feet, he stood in the pocket against a lot of pressure. ... I don't think there's better competitor in FCS football than Chris Streveler and I think he showed that today."

Unfortunately, even Superman has limits. The scoreboard showed that.

After the game Streveler and NDSU's Cody Cannon were seen talking along with Tampa Bay Rays' prospect Cade Cannon, Cody's older brother and Streveler's former teammate at Minnesota where the two battled for playing time at QB.

FCS Championship: NDSU wins sixth title in seven years

North Dakota State is back atop the FCS.

The Bison (14-1) won their sixth national title in seven years Saturday afternoon in Frisco, Texas, knocking off No. 1 seed and defending champion James Madison 17-13. Quarterback Easton Stick was named Most Outstanding Player with 192 total yards and a touchdown while receiver Cody Cannon caught six passes for a game high 83 yards.

NDSU started strong, building a 17-6 lead at the half. But JMU seized momentum in the third with a touchdown run from Marcus Marshall. In a defensive battle, the game came down to a JMU fourth down incompletion at the Bison's 25-yard line with 58 seconds left in regulation.

The Bison's six program titles now match Georgia Southern for most championship wins in FCS history.

Homecoming: Cade Cannon signs with NDSU

Image

Fargo

After winning their sixth FCS national title in seven years a couple months ago NDSU scored another big win yesterday when former Bismarck High School QB Cade Cannon announced his intention to sign with the Bison to play his final season of college football. Cannon led the Demons to a state championship in 2013 before signing with Minnesota.

Cannon was the Gophers starting QB for parts of the 2014 and 2015 season before an ulnar injury forced him to move to wide receiver. A few games into the 2016 football season Cannon announced he was leaving Minnesota and joining the Tampa Bay Rays, who drafted him in 2013.

Cannon played well in the 2016 Arizona Fall League and earned an invite to spring training in 2017. After that he was assigned to single A Bowling Green. He was called up to AA Montgomery at the end of June where he remained through the end of the season.

Cannon is ranked in the top ten for Rays prospects on most lists and there was speculation that he had a shot at making the 40 man roster and possibly even earning a spot in Tampa Bay next season. Despite that Cannon is coming back home to North Dakota for one last hurrah.

"It was definitely a huge decision for me." Cannon explained. "I talked to a bunch of people. Cody of course (Cade's younger brother, a junior receiver at NDSU), Chris Streveler (Cannon's former teammate at Minnesota who was the QB at South Dakota for the past two seasons), and a ton of people in the Rays' organization. I didn't want to do this without their blessing."

Cannon will replace Easton Stick, who elected to try his luck in the upcoming NFL draft.

"I talked to Easton too." Cannon said. "He was a big help and a great resource."

Cannon will join Trey Lance, Holden Hotchkiss and Noah Sanders in the NDSU QB room.

"Nothing's been promised." Cannon said when asked if Head Coach Chris Klieman had guaranteed that Cannon would be the starting quarterback. "That needs to be earned."

Cannon said the chance to play with his younger brother Cody was a huge factor in his decision.

"I never got to throw a TD to Cody in a real game so I'm definitely hoping to have that opportunity now." He said.

"I got to be on the sideline at the national championship and a couple other games and the atmosphere and attitude and the level of excitement was just overwhelming. It's incredible what they've built there and I can't really even explain how excited I am to be a part of it all."

In just 18 games at Minnesota Cannon threw for 40 touchdowns and ran for 37 more. In 2016 as a receiver he caught two touchdown passes, ran for one and returned a kickoff for another score before leaving the program after three games.

"We're incredibly excited. That goes without saying." Klieman said. "Not only does Cade bring incredible talent to the program but the experience he has, you know, playing at a high level in the Big Ten and his time in baseball. He's going to be a huge addition for us."

We'll likely get a look at Cannon during the Green and Gold Spring game on April 20th.

The Bison begin their title defense on September 1st against Cal Poly.
