- Cordero came within two outs of completing a 7 inning no-hitter, but was pulled at the bottom of the 7th after giving up a hit to Beloit’s Wadye Ynfante. The 2014 International free agent marked a career-high with 9 strikeouts. After 3 seasons in the Dominican Summer League, the 6′ 3″ 175 lb lefty made his U.S. debut last season and saw work across 2 rookie levels and reached HiA Palm Beach for two starts. Cordero, seeing his first full season, was roughed-up by Beloit (4 ER in 5.1 IP) during his first start of 2019. Since then, the 21 year-old southpaw has not allowed an earned run in 20 innings and picking up two wins in three starts.
