History vs. Cedar Rapids

The Nuts are 69-73 all-time vs. the Kernels, 40-29 in Michigan’s state capital,

29-44 in the City of Five Seasons.

Meet the Boss: Scott Steinmann is the 16th manager in Lugnuts team history. Born in Dayton, Steinmann joins the Lugnuts after three straight seasons assigned to manage Double-A Midland (though the 2020 season was canceled). Steinmann previously managed against the Lugnuts with Wisconsin (2005), Clinton (2009, 2014-15) and Beloit (2017). More info about the skipper can be found on the next page of these notes.

Recent Roster Moves: Yesterday, outfielder Austin Beck was promoted to Triple-A Las Vegas. Three days ago, outfielder Lester Madden, Jr. was activated from the Injured List. Lansing now has 28 players active with four players (all pitchers) on the Injured List.

Alumni Report: 2017 Lugnut Vladimir Guerrero, Jr., leads the Majors in OBP (.443), OPS (1.125), total bases (185) and RBIs (64); is tied for 1st in home runs (25); and ranks 2nd in slugging percentage (.683) and runs scored (61), and 3rd in batting average (.339). Fellow 2017 Lugnut Bo Bichette leads the Majors in runs scored (64).

Man of Steal: Infielder Max Schuemann (Portage Northern H.S. / Eastern Michigan University) leads all of Minor League Baseball with 30 stolen bases, nine more than the Major League leader, Kansas City’s Whit Merrifield. Schuemann is tied for second in the Minors with 13 HBPs and is second in the High-A Central with 38 runs scored.

Hail to Arms: The Lugnuts’ pitching staff tops the High-A Central with a 3.67 earned run average (leading Cedar Rapids, which has lowered its team ERA to 3.69 by starting this series with five earned runs allowed in 43 innings) with the second fewest walks in the league (151) and fourth most strikeouts (479). The Lugnuts also have the second best GO/AO ratio in the league at 1.20, trailing Cedar Rapids’ ratio of 1.31.

Miscues Aplenty: The Nuts committed a season high five errors in yesterday’s victory after committing only one error in the prior five games combined. On the other hand, the Kernels were charged with four errors last night and have made ten errors in the last three games of this series.

hiGh-a Central splits

2010: Lugnuts starter Ryan Shopshire brought a 4-0 lead over Dayton to the 9th at Cooley Law School Stadium, looking for a CG. Two HBPs and a single loaded the bases with one out. Shopshire struck out Josh Garton… and then gave up a two-out game-tying grand slam to Cameron Satterwhite. In the bottom of the 11th, though, Mike Konstanty walked Chris Hopkins with the bases loaded to force in the winning run, giving the Lugnuts a 5-4 victory.2015: TTim Locastro hit his second inside-the-park home run of the season, a solo shot down the third-base line in the third inning (aided by LF Ross Kivett slipping), and Shane Dawson struck out nine West Michigan Whitecaps in 7 2/3 innings in a 5-1 win on Saturday night.

• On May 7, 2014, Steinmann’s Clinton LumberKings overcame a 17-1 deficit entering the 6th inning, scoring 19 unanswered runs for a 20-17 victory in 12 innings. It remains the largest deficit ever overcome in a professional baseball game.

• Managed Wisconsin to MWL Championship Series in 2005.• In addition to the managerial seasons above, Steinmann worked as a roving catching instructor in 1999 for Seattle and was a mem-ber of the coaching staff for Wisconsin (2000-01), San Bernardino (2002), Peoria (2006), Everett (2010, 2012) and Tacoma (2013).

Major League Lugnuts: Three former Nuts have made their Major League debuts this season, bringing the total to 157 all-time - pitcher Ty Tice ‘18, outfielder Josh Palacios ‘16-’17, and pitcher Tayler Saucedo ‘16-’17. Tice and Palacios made their first MLB appearance in the same game for the Toronto Blue Jays on April 9th. It was the seventh time in team history that two Lugnuts made their MLB debut in the same game, with the first occurring on September 14, 1998: Carlos Febles and Carlos Beltrán for the Kansas City Royals. Saucedo most recently debuted, tossing a scoreless inning for the Blue Jays on June 17.

Record-Setting, for Better or Worse: On June 15, Max Schuemann broke Samad Taylor‘s franchise single-game record of four steals in a game (set July 1, 2018) with five stolen bases against the Great Lakes Loons. On June 20, Stevie Emanuels broke the franchise single game record, tied many times before, of three homers served up in a game, giving up four HRs to the Loons - two apiece by Deacon Liput and Andy Pages.

So Many Starters: The Lugnuts have used 13 different starting pitchers this season, namely Brady Basso, Reid Birlingmair, Jeff Criswell, David Leal, Stevie Emanuels, Richard Guasch, Rafael Kelly, Bryce Nightengale, Colin Peluse, Leudeny Pineda, Seth Shuman, Shohei Tomioka and Brock Whittlesey.

Familiar Settings: 10 of the 28 Lugnuts active players came through the Midwest League in Beloit on their way up the Athletics’ ladder, and coaching staff members Scott Steinmann, Don Schulze and Anthony Phillips all have experience in the league.

A Pleasant Peninsula Surrounds You: Max Schuemann (Portage Northern H.S.) is the first Lugnut to hail from Eastern Michigan University in Ypsilanti. Earlier this season, the Nuts featured two Michigan Wolverines in Jeff Criswell (injured) and Jack Weisenburger (promoted).

Finally: Pitchers Jeff Criswell, Stevie Emanuels and Shohei Tomioka, catchers Jared McDonald, Drew Millas and William Simoneit, first baseman Patrick McColl, and outfielder Michael Guldberg have all made their pro debut this season with the Lugnuts

Front Office Connections: Lugnuts pitching coach Don Schulze was drafted 11th overall by the Chicago Cubs in 1980, 12 picks before Oakland Executive Vice President of Baseball Operations Billy Beane was drafted by the New York Mets. Lugnuts first baseman Patrick McColl set a new Harvard baseball single season record with 70 hits in 2019, breaking the previous record held by Athletics General Manager David Forst.

Clubhouse of Higher Learning: The Ivy League is well represented on the Lansing roster. First baseman Patrick McColl played for Harvard, reliever Michael Danielak was drafted from Dartmouth and catcher William Simoneit spent four years at Cornell before grad-transferring to Wake Forest.

Power Five Baseball: The Lugnuts also represent the ACC (Michael Guldberg, Georgia Tech); Big 12 (Brady Basso, Oklahoma State); Big Ten (Dalton Sawyer, Minnesota); and the SEC (Cobie Vance, Alabama, and Ryan Gridley, Mississippi State); and the Pac-12 (Stevie Emanuels, Washington).

International Appeal: In addition to 17 different states (Arizona, California, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, Texas, Virginia, Washington) represented by Lugnuts players and coaching staff, seven nations are represented: USA, Colombia, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Japan, South Africa and Venezuela.

Representing His Country: 1B/3B Jordan Díaz played for Colombia in Olympic Baseball Qualifying play, blasting a game-tying home run in the 9th against Venezuela, but Colombia lost all three games in opening pool play and was eliminated. Team USA won the tournament, punching a ticket to Japan.

Teammates Then, Teammates Now: Several of the Nuts are more than a little familiar with one another. Reid Birlingmair and Charlie Cerny pitched together at the University of Illinois at Chicago. The Lugnuts also have a pair of Wake Forest Demon Deacons; though William Simoneit played only one year at Wake, 2020, thus missing Colin Peluse by a year, Peluse hosted Simoneit on his visit and convinced him to attend Wake. Coincidentally, Peluse was hosted on his own Wake Forest college visit by 2019 Lugnuts infielder Johnny Aiello.
