2015 Monday Morning Mets Minors Players of the Week

4/27-5/3

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

Hitter of the Week: There were a few worthy choices, but it just seems like Dustin Lawley had the most well-rounded week of them all, with 5 XBH, 4 SB, and more BB+HBP than K’s.

Starting Pitcher of the Week: THOR!! That’s about as good of a week as a starting pitcher can have, so it won’t be easy for Thor to repeat, but he’s getting close to joining the Mets rotation.

Relief Pitcher of the Week: Paul Sewald doesn’t throw hard (sits in the mid-to-upper 80’s), but he has a nice slider, and he just keeps striking minor league batters out (33.3% K-rate in 13.1 IP), so there must be some deception in his delivery.

Team of the Week: The 51s are riding a 10-game winning streak, and are among the hottest teams in professional baseball. They are getting top-notch pitching and hitting, which is a great recipe for success.
