Dominican Winter League
The Tigres del Licey fell to 3-4 on the season after being crush 10-2 on Wednesday despite Mets prospect Ronny Mauricio leading the team with two hits. The switch-hitter continues to bat second in the lineup with former big leaguers Hanley Ramirez right behind him.
- SS Ronny Mauricio: 2-for-3, .375/.375/.547
As you see from the batting line of Mauricio, the talented youngster has yet to walk in seven games thus far. And while Mauricio has showed off impressive power in 2021, his OBP during the regular season was just .296 between High-A Brooklyn and Double-A Binghamton.

Grey, 27, lowered his fall league ERA down to 3.00 through 12 innings. He averaged 92 mph on his four-seamer and continued to use his curve very effectively –two whiffs and five called strikes in nine curves thrown.
