    • 3-3, 2B, 2RBi, BB, SB (1) 
  • Nick Sergakis, LF – HiA St. Lucie Mets (NYM) – Florida State League/South 
    • 2-3, HR (2), 2B, R, RBi
  • Damek Tomscha, 1B – HiA Clearwater Threshers (PHI) – Florida State League/North
    • 2-4, HR (5), 2R, RBi, BB
  • Jose Pujols, RF – HiA Clearwater Threshers (PHI) – Florida State League/North
  • Drew Stankiewicz, 2B – HiA Clearwater Threshers (PHI) – Florida State League/North 
    • 4-5, HR (2), R, 2RBi, K 
  • Carlos Duran, LF – LoA Lakewood BlueClaws (PHI) – Sally League/Northern 
    • 3-5, 2 2B, 2R, 2RBi, K
  • Darick Hall, DH – LoA Lakewood BlueClaws (PHI) – Sally League/Northern 
    • 1-4, HR (3), R, RBI, BB, K
    • 2016 UTR OAS 
    • Hall’s solo home run last night in the 9th inning vs. Columbia (NYM) is his third consecutive game with a round-tripper. 
  • Jake Gatewood, 1B – HiA Carolina Mudcats (MIL) – Carolina League/Southern 
    • 2-4, 2 2B, 3R, 2RBi, BB, K
    • Gatewood’s first double of the night in the bottom of the second inning extended the 2014 – 1st rounder’s hit streak to 15 games. It seems as if the 6’5″- 190lb. righty is finally breaking through the concerns of whether he was going to become selective enough at the plate to tap into his bat speed and plus-raw power. Gatewood ranks first in the Carolina League with 24 runs scored, doubles (11), and sits within the league’s top five in hits (34), home runs (5), walks (19), OBP (.445), SLG% (.600) batting (.340), OPS (1.045) and total bases (60). If the season ended now, he could be a consensus league MVP. 
  • Trent Clark, LF – HiA Carolina Mudcats (MIL) – Carolina League/Southern 
    • 3-4, HR (3), 2R, 3RBi, BB 
  • Cole Tucker, SS – HiA Bradenton Marauders (PIT) – Florida State League/South 
    • 0-2, 2BB, K, 4 SB (22) 
    • Another 2014 – 1st rounder is making his mark in 2017, as Tucker’s four stolen bases last night vs. Dunedin further lengthened his overall minor league lead. The fact that Tucker is translating his plus-plus speed into games is incredibly intriguing given the fact that he’s still learning to hit as he ascends through the mid-to-high minors. 
  • Christian Kelley, C – HiA Bradenton Marauders (PIT) – Florida State League/South
    • 3-4, HR (1), 2R, 3RBi
  • Stephen Alemais, SS – LoA West Virginia Power (PIT) – Sally League/Northern

    • 3-5, 3B, 2B, R, 5RBi
  • Clark Eagan, RF – LoA West Virginia Power (PIT) – Sally League/Northern 
    • 3-4, HR (2), R, 3RBi
  • Grant Heyman, LF – HiA Visalia Rawhide (ARI) – Cal League/North
