2012 top overall pick Carlos Correa was in the Lancaster Jethawks’ starting lineup tonight after missing seven games with a shoulder injury. Correa DH’d and went 0-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in the Lancaster’s 6-3 victory over San Jose at The Hangar.

Drafted out of Puerto Rico in 2012 at the age of 17, Correa has had four minor league stops, with last season at Quad Cities being his first full pro season. There the lanky, athletic shortstop showed his advanced skills at his young age with a line of .320/.405/.467.

In Correa’s absence, Carlos Perdomo has played SS for the Jethawks and he has had a good run with a .375 batting average and a homerun that came off of a Rancho Cucamonga Quake named Kershaw.

With the win, the Jethawks improved to 17-12 and pulled to within a half-game of first-place Lake Elsinore, pending the outcome of the Storm’s game with Inland Empire.

DIVISION RACES HEATING UP

Posted on April 24, 2014 by CLH | Comments Off

Both divisions are seeing compelling races for the first-half title with Visalia a game up on Bakersfield in the North and High Desert up by the same margin over Lancaster in the South.

NORTH DIVISION

The Blaze got out of the gates fast and have had two players recognized with Cal League weekly honors in 1B Marquez Smith and P Ben Lively. After last night’s action, Bakersfield has a 14-6 record. But Visalia has shot past them to the top of the North division by winning six straight and nine of it’s last 10 to post a 15-5 mark.

CORREA PACES JETHAWKS TO 8-2 WIN

Posted on April 4, 2014 by CLH | Comments Off

Carlos Correa was the top overall pick in the 2012 draft and he showed why on Thursday night with three hits and four RBIs as Lancaster won its Cal League opener by a score of 8-2 over Lake Elsinore.

Correa batted in the #3 hole and went 3-for-4 with 3 singles and 4 RBIs to lead an 11-hit Jethawk attack. 2B Anthony Kemp and RF Danry Vasquez added two hits apiece as Lancaster got to 3 of 5 Storm pitchers.

2012 was the first year that the draft had been changed to the current system of pool money for each club rather than the old system of recommended salaries for each slot. The Astros were masterful in spreading their money over several top picks, including Correa (#1), Lance McCullers Jr. (#41) and Nolan Fontana (#61).

Correa played in 117 games in Quad Cities last season and batted .320/.405/. 467.
