The “tricky league” sounds like the whole Latin American market is “tricky”. 

Good to see that we actually have some names to follow. If we bring over most of the big names to the GCL, maybe the avg age of that team won’t be 25 next season.

I mentioned the Tricky League in other threads, but it’s where the 16 year olds who sign future contracts play along with unsigned players.

Melewski is off a little with the comment that the 2019 J2 signings aren’t playing DSL games, a couple are (older signees) Erinson Plancencia 17 and Alejandro Mendez 18 are two off the top of my head.

This kid seems to be hitting really well.  Any word on him from the scouts?  Was he talked about on J2 day at all?

Nothing, he looks really skinny though, he’s definitely not a mature bodied kid. He’s 2nd from the right.

First look at one of the 16yo 2019 J2 guys.

It’s amazing that there’s footage from Tricky League games now.

I came to this thread to post that video and talk about a new term, “tricky league”.

I dunno how I made it this far in this forum without ever hearing that term.

I’d never heard of it until Melewski mentioned it 2-3 days ago.

He says "For most, it's their first real game action."

First organized games ever?  Do these kids have HS baseball or local little league teams or are they only playing pick up ball until they sign?

I'd venture that most of us didn't. I'd start with "the O's have never really had a J2 presence before this year" and go from there. Probably didn't even have a Tricky league team, and certainly not one with prospects.

I'm not even sure if ML teams even have their own Tricky League teams.  Players may be interspersed since it's basically an instructional league.  Just don't know much about the league.
