- Vargas may be allowing runs of late (4.24 ERA over 4 starts), but thanks to his outstanding start to the 2018 season (1.04 ERA in 13 starts), the 6’3″ 200 lb righthander still clings to his California League leading 1.83 ERA. His season-high 13 K’s last night helped the young Dominican regain his spot as the Cali League strikeout leader. The Top UTR Pitcher for June 2018 also leads all HiA qualified pitchers in strikeouts with 126 over 92.1 innings.
- Diaz is having early success in his U.S. debut after one season in season in the DSL.
