Keeping
track of the hottest minor leaguers in the Mets farm system.
Hitter of the
Week: Kirk Nieuwenhuis returned to the 51s with a bang, picking up 6
extra base hits in his 21 at bats.
Starting Pitcher
of the Week: Several strong cases for this award (2 great cases in
Savannah), but Michael Gibbons was very good over 2 starts, which gives him the
edge in my eyes. More on where Gibbons came from can be found here.
Relief Pitcher of
the Week: Chase and Chase were quite an impressive L/R duo out of the
51s pen this week.
Team of the Week:
This couldn’t be an easier award this week, as the Savannah Sand Gnats clinched
their 5th first-half division title in 6 years on Sunday.

5-2
record

Steven Matz – 7 IP, 4 H, BB, 5 SO, 87 Pitches (53 Strikes),

year, but he still has a stellar 2.8 BB%

BB% during the stretch

Jayce Boyd – 6-15, .400/.400/.600, 3 2B, 3 RBI, SO; He’s slashing .387/.472/.548 over his last
11 games, but still needs his first PCL HR

RBI, 2 BB, 5 SO; He’s slashing .373/.429/.647

hitter than he’s been in the majors
Kirk Nieuwenhuis – 9-21, .429/.429/1.048, 4 R, 2 2B, 3B, 3
HR, 8 RBI, 2 SO; Kirk needs to be allowed
to mash against PCL pitchers for at least 75-100 PA before considering a return
to the Mets bench, and only then if everyone else is still floundering
Anthony Recker – 3-13, .231/.375/.692, 2 R, 2 HR, 3 RBI, 3
BB, 6 SO; He’s doing typical Recker
things, just now with more playing time for Vegas

RBI, BB, 2 HBP, 10 SO; Even in a week

BB, 20 SO, .409 OPS allowed Recap
Michael Fulmer – 6.1 IP, 7 H, R, 3 BB, 6 SO, HR, 102 Pitches

Strikes), 9 GO: 4 FO; He has a 2.84 ERA/.570
OPS allowed over his last 3 starts (19 IP), but his 14.1 K% still leaves much
to be desired Recap

worst and shortest outing of the season with one of his best starts of the year

2 BB, 3 SO, GIDP; He’s reached base in 12
of 13 games with Binghamton
Josh Rodriguez – 4-16, .250/.333/.563, 2 R, 2 2B, HR, 3 RBI,
2 BB, 6 SO, GIDP; At 30, he’s no longer
of prospect age, but Pedro Lopez sure doesn’t mind having his bat in the lineup
