2014 Monday Morning Mets Minors Players of the Week

July 7-13, 2014

            Keeping track of the hottest minor leaguers in the Mets farm system.

Hitter of the Week: Travis Taijeron continued his hot hitting last week and has hit safely in 9 of 11 games (7 straight) spanning 50 PA – .349/.440/.744 with 5 doubles, 4 homeruns, 14 RBI’s and 15 SO: 5 BB (+ 2 HBP). The strikeouts continue to be a problem, but he’s making very hard contact during this stretch.

Starting Pitcher of the Week: Cory Mazzoni’s rehab tour ended and he made his return to the BMets last week, picking off right where he left off last year. Astromets Mind covered his second start and came away impressed with his Fastball/Change-up combo. Honorable mention to Marcos Molina, who dominated with 6 SO and 7 GO in 5 IP.

Relief Pitcher of the Week: Giving the nod to Shane Bay, who recorded 5/6 outs via the strikeout.

Team of the Week: The B-Mets made a huge charge in the Eastern League’s Eastern division by sweeping the one team in front of them and keeping the race for first alive.
