SEATTLE -- While highly regarded first baseman Evan White has received much of the publicity regarding Mariners prospects in the early going of Arizona Fall League action, left-hander Anthony Misiewicz and catcher Joe DeCarlo stepped up Friday for the Peoria Javelinas in a 3-1 win over the Scottsdale Scorpions.
DeCarlo went 2-for-4 with an RBI triple as he continued working to improve his chances as a catching contender in the Mariners' organization.
The 25-year-old was a second-round Draft pick in 2012 as a prep third baseman out of Pennsylvania, but converted to catcher in 2017. He hit .246/.339/.440 with eight homers in 58 games for Double-A Arkansas this past season and is batting .308 with a double, triple and three RBIs in four AFL games.
Misiewicz, Seattle's No. 27-ranked prospect by MLB Pipeline, threw four scoreless innings while allowing just one hit with no walks or strikeouts in a sharp 41-pitch outing in his second AFL start. The 23-year-old pitched this past season for Arkansas after being reacquired from the Rays last December.
Friday's outing was a big bounceback for the southpaw, who had allowed five runs (four earned) on three hits and a pair of walks in 1 1/3 innings in his AFL debut a week earlier. Misiewicz struggled for Arkansas this season, going 3-12 with a 5.51 ERA in 21 starts after being considered a fast-rising prospect in 2017 before being dealt to Tampa Bay in a trade that brought catcher Mike Marjama and reliever Ryan Garton to Seattle.
White, the Mariners' No. 2 prospect, went 0-for-4 in Friday's game, but he is batting .300 (9-for-30) with three doubles and nine RBIs in his first seven AFL games.
Infielder Chris Mariscal, who played for Arkansas last season, went 1-for-3 on Friday while playing third base for Peoria and is hitting .500 (6-for-12) with a triple and two RBIs in three AFL games.
