CL Selects Rookie Star of the Month
Wednesday, June 1st, 2203
Carlos Martínez is still a bit shy, but then, who could blame the newest Continental League Rookie of the Month honoree? He hasn't been around the league long enough to fully know the ropes yet, despite the fact that he's putting up veteran-like numbers.
In May the
Brooklyn hitter tagged opposing pitching for a .373 average with 38 hits, 1 home run and 17 RBIs.
Thus far this season
Martínez has hit .315 with 2 home runs, 24 RBIs and scored 32 times.

Youngster
Manolo Vargas emerged as the latest Republic League Rookie of the Month today. The young man from
Toronto deserved the honor, batting .282 with 5 home runs and 19 runs batted in. Is the month of May a harbinger of things to come or just a fluke? We'll find out someday, but for now, we'll just let
Vargas enjoy the limelight.
For the year
Vargas is batting .263 with 62 hits and 8 home runs. He has scored 38 times and driven in 26.
