TEMPE, Ariz. – With the weather in Arizona heating up this summer, most Sun Devil Baseball student-athletes have flocked all over the country to showcase their talents in various summer ball leagues, including five in the prestigious Cape Code League. Catch up on how the Devils are going in their respective leagues:
Spencer Van Scoyoc
Van Scoyoc is absolutely dominating for the Yarmouth-Dennis Red Sox. Racking up a microscopic 0.93 ERA for the Sox, Van Scoyoc has made five appearances, including four starts, striking out 13 in 19 1/3 innings. Of his five appearances, the lefty has never allowed more than a single run, including three scoreless outings. He has been hot as of late, helping his team to a 10-0 victory over the Hyannis Harbor Hawks by keeping the Hawks off the board and limiting them to just three hits in 6 1/3 innings.
Carter Aldrete
Playing with the Newport Gulls of the New England Collegiate Baseball League, Aldrete got off to a slow start to begin the summer. The Monterey-native notched a hit in his first game with Newport, but went hitless for the next week. Aldrete busted the slump with a 2-for-4 performance on July 3, and is batting over .350 since.
Connor Higgins
Higgins joins Bishop on the Brewster Whitecaps as a starting pitcher. In four starts for the Whitecaps, Higgins has limited opponents to only six earned runs, good for a 2.74 ERA. In 19 2/3 innings, the lefty has struck out 14 while walking seven with a 1-2 record.
Alec Marsh
Playing in the wooden bat-using Northwoods League, Marsh dominated in his last start for the Lakeshore Chinooks. The sophomore scattered five hits across eight scoreless innings for the Chinooks to earn his second victory of the summer. Since becoming a starter, Marsh has had a miniscule 1.80 ERA over a span of 20 innings, and has twice the amount of strikeouts (22) than hits allowed (11).
Lyle Lin
Taking the field for the Bourne Braves in the Cape Code League, Lin is batting a Braves-leading .304 on the summer with three doubles and 15 RBI. The infielder is getting some playing time behind the plate for the Braves. Lin got off to a hot start, notching multi-hit games in his first three games in Massachusetts. He batted .500 in that span, knocking a double and three RBI.
Fitz Stadler
Stadler is having a solid summer in the Cape for the Wareham Gatemen, making seven appearances on the summer with two starts. In 12 innings, the Illinois-native has struck out 10 batters en route to a 3.75 ERA. Stadler hit his stride in the middle of June, allowing just three hits and no runs across five appearances totaling eight innings for the Gatemen.
Garvin Alston Jr.
Alston joins Aldrete in the New England Collegiate Baseball League, playing for the North Adams SteepleCats where he serves mainly as a reliever. He has made 15 appearances on the summer while putting up a 4.80 ERA and 16 strikeouts. Alston didn't allow an earned run through his first five appearances, totaling seven innings of scoreless pitching. Of his 12 appearances, Alston has kept opposing batters hitless 10 times and scoreless eight times, including limiting the Valley Blue Sox to just one hit over two innings of work.
Hunter Bishop
One of five Devils in the Cape, Bishop is spending the summer with the Brewster Whitecaps. The sophomore was activated at the end of June, playing primarily center field for the Whitecaps. Bishop had a solid game Chatham Anglers in which he went 2-for-5 with two RBI.
Dellan Raish
After opting to redshirt his true freshman season, Raish chose to play summer ball for the Arroyo Seco Saints of the California Collegiate League. The lefty has made six appearances for the Saints, striking out 19 batters.
Tanner West
Playing for the Bellingham Bells of the West Coast League, West has made four appearances on the summer, all as a reliever. The lefty has struck out four batters in 3 2/3 innings. West looked sharped in two innings of work against the Walla Walla Sweets, going two innings while keeping his opponent hitless and scoreless to help his team.
Taylor Lane
Lane joined Alston Jr. and the Steeplecats of the Northwoods League mid-June. He has had multi-hit performances in four of his 15 appearances, including a 2-for-4, two home run night against the Winnipesaukee Muskrats making him the first Steeplecat to have a multi-home run game since 2014. Lane is batting .262 on the season with one double, three home runs and 10 RBI.
Spencer Van Scoyoc
Van Scoyoc is absolutely dominating for the Yarmouth-Dennis Red Sox. Racking up a microscopic 0.93 ERA for the Sox, Van Scoyoc has made five appearances, including four starts, striking out 13 in 19 1/3 innings.
