Youngster
Alonso López emerged as the latest Continental League Rookie of the Month today. The young man from
Apex deserved the honor, batting .287 with 3 home runs and 9 runs batted in. Is the month of June a harbinger of things to come or just a fluke? We'll find out someday, but for now, we'll just let
López enjoy the limelight.
López has a .282 average and a .354 on-base percentage for the year. He has picked up 87 hits, 11 home runs and driven in 33 runs.
Top RL Rookie of the Month Named
Wednesday, July 1st, 2207
Alfonso Vélez earned June's Rookie of the Month honors in the Republic League for last month's performance. The boyish
Hartford shortstop might be wet behind the ears, but he's proving that he has what it takes to play at this level.
Vélez hit .354 with no home runs, 12 RBIs and 13 runs scored this past month on his way to winning the award.
Vélez is currently hitting at a .325 pace with 1 home run, 33 RBIs and has scored 37 times.
