Earlier this week, the members of the 2022 Somerset Patriots received rings to honor the Eastern League championship they captured last year. The Yankees’ Double-A affiliate finished off the Erie SeaWolves in spectacular fashion, no-hitting them in a 15-0 shutout. It was just the second season in the organization for Somerset, but the partnership with the Yankees has been greatly successful so far.
High-profile prospects contributed up-and-down to Somerset’s championship campaign. Anthony Volpe, Austin Wells, Everson Pereira, Elijah Dunham, Trey Sweeney, and Jasson Domínguez all pitching in on offense while Will Warren, Clayton Beeter, and Carson Coleman impressed on the mound.
