AA- Trenton Thunder
Hitter Of The Week- Ali Castillo
Maybe he’ll be the guy to replace Derek Jeter? (Sorry Didi) Castillo has done nothing but hit since coming off of the DL. This week, Castillo had at least a hit in every game except one, drove in five and stole a couple of bases
Honorable Mention- Aaron Judge
Maybe Judge will be the next player promoted to AAA. Judge got a hit in every game this week, with a homer, and eight RBI. Judge is just one RBI off the team lead, but is in the top 10 in the league in RBI, homers and OPS.
Pitcher Of The Week- Luis Severino
Severino got promoted to AAA this week, making his debut yesterday. In his final start, Severino struck out nine over five innings while giving up three hits and two runs.
Honorable Mention- Eric Ruth
Ruth moved to 3-0 in six starts with another solid outing this week. Ruth went seven innings, giving up a run, four hits, walked one and struck out six. It’s the second time in his past three starts he’s struck out six.
