Mets Minors May Report

                  Keeping track of the best Minor League players in the Mets farm system. Statistics listed for all players. Top performances highlighted in orange. If you would like to see some other stats listed in the future, leave a request in the comments and I will see what I can do.

Hitters of the Month

Las Vegas – Andrew Brown has been ridiculous since his demotion.

Binghamton – Kevin Plawecki found his power stroke this past month.

St. Lucie – Jairo Perez beats out some tough competition.

Savannah – L. J. Mazzilli will not be in Savannah much longer.

Starting Pitchers of the Month

Las Vegas – Logan Verrett gets the nod in one of the weaker competitions of the month because he consistently went deep into games when the 51s needed him to, was healthy all month, and as effective as any other pitcher.

Binghamton – Tyler Pill edges Darin Gorski in what was pretty much a toss-up in the end.

St. Lucie – Gabriel Ynoa edges Steven Matz, though they moth had very encouraging months.

Savannah – Kevin McGowan easily won this by not giving up an earned run over 25.2 IP.

Relief Pitchers of the Month

Las Vegas – Ryan Reid barely edges out Buddy Carlyle.

Binghamton – Jack Leathersich and his strikeout touch beats out some other strong relief efforts in Bingo.

St. Lucie – Seth Lugo gets the edge because of the higher inning total, but there were a few good relief options. Also, most of the damage against Lugo came in his last outing with a little tough luck.

Savannah – Akeel Morris and Tim Peterson can share this award, as they had very similar outputs for the month – too tough to choose.

Team of the Month

Every team had a winning month, but the Sand Gnats had a .704 winning percentage, which was easily the best.
