Minor League Baseball Weekly Top Performers for August 16, 2022
Minor League Baseball Weekly Top Performers As the minor league baseball season comes to an end, the unfortunate part is that players are receiving evaluations. Such was the case as a player on this list last week was released over the week. Hopefully, that isn’t an indicator of any future patterns! Hitter of the WeekThe St. Louis Cardinals drafted Chandler Redmond with a 32nd-round pick in the 2019 draft. Redmond is trying to be just the second player drafted from Gardner-Webb University to make the majors (one undrafted player has also made the majors). Redmond played around the infield the past two years and even played some outfield, but he’s…

Minor League Baseball Daily Thread for May 26, 2022
Minor League Baseball Top Performers Minor league baseball provides that doubleheaders are seven-inning games, which meant that the big event no-hitter on Wednesday was a seven-inning no-hitter, but it was a unique experience all the same. Let’s take a look at the rest of the top performers from a fun day around the minor leagues! Hitter of the DayA big (6’4″, 250ish pounds) guy, Vinnie Pasquantino was drafted in the 11th round in 2019 out of Old Dominion by the Kansas City Royals with the knowledge that he’d need to hit to have value.

Minor League Baseball Top Performers While the big leagues struggled offensively, those issues didn’t translate to minor league baseball, with more than a dozen teams scoring 10+ runs each of Friday, Saturday, and Sunday over the past week. That led to plenty of options for strong individual performances on the offensive side for hitter of the week choice. Even with that offense, there were plenty of strong choices on the pitching side as well. Hitter of the WeekThe Washington Nationals originally drafted Blake Perkins in the second round out of Arizona high school in 2015. The switch-hitting outfielder tantalized with raw talent before the Nationals traded him to the Royals…

Minor League Baseball Top Performers After the first “off day” of the minor league baseball season, games were back in full force on Tuesday, with some incredible performances at the plate and on the mound, which made selecting the top performers a challenge! Hitter of the DayThe Phillies drafted T.J. Rumfield out of Virginia Tech in the 12th round last summer. He comes with a baseball background, as his father played for 12 years in the minors across five organizations but never got a major league shot. The Yankees saw something that they liked in Rumfield, and they acquired him in the offseason in a four-player deal. Rumfield has an…
