Keeping
track of the hottest minor leaguers in the Mets farm system – special two week
edition!
Hitter of the 2 Weeks:
There were several strong candidates, and then there was Patrick Mazeika, who
has been crushing the ball with Kingsport since being taken in the 8th
round of the June draft.
Starting Pitcher
of the 2 Weeks: Not only did Corey Oswalt keep Rome scoreless over two
5-inning appearances last week, but he also struck out 14 of 38 batters faced (37%),
and allowed just 1 walk
Relief Pitcher of
the 2 Weeks: Josh Smoker could make an impact with the 2015 New York Mets.
Team of the 2 Weeks:
This one is made easy because the Sand Gnats haven’t lost a single game over
the past 2 weeks!
