MINORSFINAL 8/6: Tellor Appy Hitter of the Week; 2-hitter in Miss.!

[rico43]

Matt Tellor, the Braves' 10th round draft pick, is one of the very few true potential power sources currently developing. But he looks to be a good one: he was just named Appy Hitter of the WeeK:


Matt Tellor, Danville
(.375/.429/.875, 7 G, 9-for-24, 4 HR, 12 RBI, 4 R, 3 BB, 9 K)
We've seen it with A.J. Reed, the 2014 Golden Spikes Award winner who has carried his momentum from a great college campaign into a solid start in the pros, and the same situation fits Tellor. The switch-hitting first baseman won the 2014 Ohio Valley Conference Player of the Year after hitting 15 homers and putting up a 1.102 OPS at Southeast Missouri State and is off to a hot start in the Appy League. The 10th-rounder clubbed his first four pro homers last week, including a pair Sunday, and is batting .358 with an even 1.000 OPS in his first 15 games in the Braves organization.
