Phoenix-Idaho Falls Brawl, Aponte and Asano Suspended Thursday, September 2nd, 2021 The league commissioner announced that two players had been suspended for inappropriate conduct. He told BNN, "What I'm trying to do with these penalties is say, we can't stop you from doing these things, but if you do them, you have to understand you will pay the consequences." Baseball can be an intense game and on-field confrontations happen. However, the league disciplinary policy is to punish, sometimes severely, those who decide to settle things with their fists. When Cristo Aponte of the Phoenix Hotspur U-21 and Yoshiiku Asano of the Idaho Falls Chukars got into a scuffle during a game, both players knew that a suspension would be forthcoming. Sure enough, today it was announced that both players will each receive a 2-game suspension for their actions in a recent game at Hotspur Kiddie Complex. So far this year in 69 games Aponte is hitting .283 with no home runs, 24 RBIs and 24 runs scored. In the current season in 0 starts, Yoshiiku Asano has a record of 1-4 with 36 strikeouts in 44.2 innings and a 8.87 ERA. |
