Youngster
Carlos Díaz emerged as the latest Republic League Rookie of the Month today. The young man from
Ann Arbor deserved the honor, batting .349 with 3 home runs and 16 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
Díaz enjoy the limelight.
This season
Díaz has banged out 33 hits in 99 at-bats for a .333 average with 6 home runs. He is getting on base at a .416 pace and his totals also include 26 RBIs and 16 runs scored.
