5 Players To Watch At Greater Nevada Field In 2022

March 10, 2022

Amidst the MLB lockout, the Reno Aces are gearing up for the 2022 campaign. Here are five players to watch at Greater Nevada Field in 2022: Alek Thomas – Thomas was called up to Triple-A Reno from Double-A Amarillo on August 16 and appeared in 34 games with the Aces.

Amidst the MLB lockout, the Reno Aces are gearing up for the 2022 campaign. Here are five players to watch at Greater Nevada Field in 2022:

Alek Thomas – Thomas was called up to Triple-A Reno from Double-A Amarillo on August 16 and appeared in 34 games with the Aces. Over those 34 games, he hit for a .369 AVG with 23 XBH and 18 RBIs. He hopes to continue putting up these gaudy numbers in 2022 with the Aces, and if he does, he may not be here for long. Be sure to get to Greater Nevada Field before it is too late.

Dan Straily – Who doesn’t love the story of a Big-League journeyman looking to re-find his early career success? That is what we have with Dan Straily. Much like Josh Reddick in 2021, Straily has tons of Big-League experience (8 years), and after spending the past two years with the Lotte Giants of the Korean Baseball Organization, he is looking for another shot at the Big Leagues.

Stone Garrett – After spending the majority of 2021 in Double-A Amarillo, Garrett is expected to be a big part of the 2022 Aces squad. While in Amarillo, Garrett showed his raw power slugging 25 HRs and amounting 81 RBI. Garrett did receive the late-season call-up to Triple-A Reno on September 26, where he appeared in only two games. His big-time pop makes him a candidate to put a few balls on the railroad tracks behind Greater Nevada Field in 2022.

Ryan Nelson – The Diamondbacks' 2019 second-round pick (56 overall) has flourished in his first two seasons in the organization. Pitching to a 3.13 ERA over 135.0 between Short-A Hillsboro and Double-A Amarillo, Nelson has a shot to crack Triple-A Reno’s roster at some point this season. Look for Nelson to start the season in Double-A Amarillo, and if his success continues, to get the call up to Triple-A Reno.

Corbin Carrol – This one may be a reach, but our fingers are crossed. The 2019 first-round pick (16 overall) has faced injury problems in his first two seasons but when he is on the field he has performed. Hitting for a .435 AVG with 5 XBH at High-A Hillsboro in 2021 before going down with a shoulder injury, Carrol has the talent. Jumping from High-A to Triple-A in one season isn’t common but not unheard of. If it happens this year with Carrol, be prepared to watch him fly around Greater Nevada Field.
