Trevor Stephan, the Yankees' No. 30 prospect, led the Class A Short Season Staten Island pitching staff with a dominant performance in a 5-0 win over Lowell on Saturday.
For a second straight start, Stephan dealt four hitless innings as Staten Island came within three outs of a combined no-hitter. He struck out six batters and did not issue a walk. It's an impressive feat for a pitcher who is still adjusting to professional ball after he was selected in the third round of this June's Draft.

"So far, the transition [to the Minors] has been pretty smooth. I've just had to make some minor adjustments here and there," Stephan told MiLB.com. "I'm glad I was able to experience playing in the Southeastern Conference [with the University of Arkansas], which I feel helped prepare me for this. Just being able to face some really good hitters, including a few first-rounders, was a great challenge and has made things easier."
