And now we can start up the Employees of the Month segment again. Just a reminder, Employees of the Month get to park up front, and get 10% off in the store.
Oklahoma City
Position Player: Koby Clemens. Led the team with a .923 OPS, hitting .284/.369/.554, with five doubles and five homers.
Pitcher: Jordan Lyles. In 27IP, allowed 29 hits and walked six batters, with 19Ks.
Corpus
Position Player: Would have gone to Brandon Wikoff, if he had played in more than 13 games. Wladimir Sutil was also in on the honor, but we're going with J.D. Martinez. Martinez hit .341/.394/.553 in 22 games, with 12 doubles and 23RBI, and also drew 10 walks.
Pitcher: Dallas Keuchel. In four starts, Keuchel posted a 3.81 ERA/1.15 WHIP, and walked only three batters in 26IP.
Lancaster
Position Player: Jose Altuve. Altuve hit .435/.485/.652, but also had 11K:10BB and stole 12 bases during April. His 40 hits in April are 13 more than 2nd-best Kody Hinze and Jay Austin.
Pitcher: Jake Buchanan. Threw 28.1IP with a 1.91 ERA/0.88 WHIP, walking just six batters over the month.
Lexington
Position Player: Chris Wallace, obviously. Wallace hit .368/.468/.795 with 17 of his 33 hits coming in for extra-bases.
Pitcher: Tanner Bushue. Bushue was 3-0 with a 2.70 ERA/0.97 WHIP, walking just five batters in 26.2IP.
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
