Minor League Hitting Leaderboard 7/22/10

Written by Greg Fertel | 22 July 2010

And just a few thoughts and observations:

• I am a Justin Snyder fan. With just a .241 AVG, he's still managed an above average .346 wOBA. Now if he could just figure out how to hit a little better...
• Jesus Montero is barely featured on the leaderboards due to his poor start. However, if we did a "past month" leaderboard, I'd guess that Montero would top almost every category.
• I don't know anything about Jorge Alcantara, but he could be a guy to watch, based on how well he showed up on these leaderboards.
• One of the reasons I've been more down on Brandon Laird and Eduardo Nunez is because they don't show up much when you look past the basic stats like HR, AVG, and RBI. Laird made a good showing this time though, and his power can't be ignored. Nunez, on the other hand, still has what I'd call an empty batting average.
• Jimmy Paredes can run.
• Thus far, Gary Sanchez and Yeicok Calderon have exceeded any hype they have gotten in the past. Small sample size definitely applies though.
• Luke Murton continues to be solid under the radar, but he's a bit old for his level.
