You know them, you love them. Gabriel Moreno and Orelvis Martinez both had great nights at the plate.

Let’s go over how they did: 

<h1>Gabriel Moreno:</h1>
Starting with the Jays #1 prospect, Gabriel Moreno made his season debut in the Buffalo Bisons’ win on Tuesday night.
In his first at bat, he flared the ball to shallow centre field. At one point, the 22-year-old catcher was down 0-2 in the count, but he battled back to 2-2 before the hit.

In the defending half of the inning, Moreno made a nice sliding grab on a popup behind home plate, showing off his quick speed and athleticism.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">
Pretty nice catch here by Moreno.<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/NextLevel?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#NextLevel</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/BlueJays?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#BlueJays</a> <a href="https://t.co/umV3cOLO8q">pic.twitter.com/umV3cOLO8q</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
In the same half of the inning, he threw out a runner, showing off his plus plus arm.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">
As I post this, he threw out his first runner of the season.
I don&#39;t know why people run on him.<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/BlueJays?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#BlueJays</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/NextLevel?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#NextLevel</a> <a href="https://t.co/dLtvjwhiMa">pic.twitter.com/dLtvjwhiMa</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
The catcher then hit his second single of the game, driving in another run to make it 3-0.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">
Moreno is now 2-2, now with an RBI.<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/BlueJays?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#BlueJays</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/NextLevel?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#NextLevel</a> <a href="https://t.co/YGYdhwXKy5">pic.twitter.com/YGYdhwXKy5</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
In Moreno’s following three at bats, he flew out twice and grounded into a fielder&#8217;s choice.
<h1>Orelvis Martinez:</h1>
How could you ever forget about the #2 prospect, Orelvis Martinez. The 20-year-old went DEEP in his first at bat of the game, giving the New Hampshire Fisher Cats a 3-0 lead.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">
All the Moreno hype, but let&#39;s not forget about Orelvis Martinez&#8230;.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Of course, he followed that up with a single, showing his quick bat speed to get a ball on the other side of the plate.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">
Martinez single!!<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/BlueJays?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#BlueJays</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/NextLevel?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#NextLevel</a> <a href="https://t.co/7AYTc535uo">pic.twitter.com/7AYTc535uo</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Not just that, but Martinez also rocketed a double down the third baseline, meaning he was just a triple away from the cycle.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">
Orelvis Martinez double.
Very fast off the bat.<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/BlueJays?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#BlueJays</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/NextLevel?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#NextLevel</a> <a href="https://t.co/wiZmkHe6tO">pic.twitter.com/wiZmkHe6tO</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Elsewhere for top prospects:
Sebastian Espino ranks as my 13th best Blue Jays prospect. He went DEEP to put the game out of reach.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">
My #13 prospect, Sebastian Espino, just went yard for his first Double A homer!<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/BlueJays?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#BlueJays</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/NextLevel?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#NextLevel</a> <a href="https://t.co/rbHWg89efI">pic.twitter.com/rbHWg89efI</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Although he’s not a top prospect, I must mention Steward Berroa’s mammoth homer, tacking on three insurance runs.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">
Not Orelvis (sorry) but Steward Berroa absolutely murdered this ball. <a href="https://t.co/79t2MYaujv">pic.twitter.com/79t2MYaujv</a>

All in all, it was a great night for the Blue Jays top prospects, and there were some other players that stood out.
