FIRST MLB START in Postseason! Guardians No. 2 Prospect Chase DeLauter gets called up in big moment!
I mean, when I when I uh when I go up to the plate, you know, my only job is to go hit the ball hard. And I I try to hit a home run in center field every time I swing. You know, I feel like obviously I have a little unique swing. Not a lot of people swing the same way I do, but you know, it’s worked for me. I’m all selftaught. I know my swing. What is your Yeah. Um I’m a little bit more of a front foot hitter. I get uh you know, pretty pretty long separation, you know, with my hands and um more of a you know, a backside center field kind of guy, but you know, selftaught and know my swing pretty well. With the 16th pick of the 2022 MLB draft, the Cleveland Guardians select Chase Delauer, an outfielder from James Madison University. They’ll have one hit high deep into left field. Paulie back at the wall and it is gone. [Applause] Chase Delauer with his first career high a home run. The first hit of the day from either side and a swing of the bat gives Lake County a two to one lead. 10. Senoha pops it into shallow center falling fast.

It is gone. A home run. Chase the Lauder has his third home run of the week. He takes Jackson Jobard. Just the second home run that Job has allowed this season and the first to a left-hand batter.

Next pitch is slapped on the third base side. Long run for Nunes. Has it. Throws across his body, but not in time. Delauer hustling up the line and his first AAA at bat. Has his first AAA hit. Probably not the one he had drawn up, but he will take it regardless. He’s batting a thousand.

Chase the louder gets it louder here at Huntington Park with a solo homer and the Clippers trail 6 to2 has one homer a triple AAA five RBI’s 1093 OPS two-1 pitch is lined to left field coming on and unable to make the catch Harold Ramirez I think he lost it in the sun that ball is at the waller is on his way to third and he’s going to get waved around he’s going to try for the inside the park home run and he’s going to have it.

They’re going to wave the runner from second round. Up with the ball and left is Deler. Here comes the throw to the plate. It is right on target and the tag is made. Cody Huff, all he had to do is catch that ball on the short hop. The runner was right there and he makes the tag and the inning comes to an end. Indianapolis thought they would add a run.

The Guardians have declared defeat. They're probably looking ahead to next season and wanting their young players to gain experience.
