<B>Director of Minor League Reports</B>
PLAYER OF THE MONTH: Gwinnett infielder Luis Marte was impossible to ignore. For the month of July (26 games) he hit .380 (38 hits) with 16 run scored, 15 RBI and a pair of home runs. Marte hit .212 his first two months of 2018, but .350 in June-July. He was moved up to AAA on July 12, In 17 games with the Stripers, mostly batting leadoff, he scorched the IL for a .389 average. Marte, 24, began his career in the Rangers' system at age 17, but was released by Texas on May 13 with a .223 average. Braves signed him on May 23 and his revival began.

PITCHER OF THE MONTH: Left-handed reliever Corbin Clouse. The 23-year-old, stolen in the 27th round of the 2016 draft, was the best on a shaky Mississippi team. He pitched in nine games in July, posting a 3-1 record with a save. He had an 0.77 ERA, 11.2 IP with 19 K and 5 BB.

Clouse has always intrigued me. Love that he is still rolling. I think he got off to a rough start to begin the season but has since righted the ship. His issues are walks now. He has to cut those down before moving up to the big club.
 
Jason Hursh would like word:

13.1 IP
7k/5bb
2.70 era (!!!)
1.50 WHIP
1 win

I'm suprised he's still here. Now that AA has a season under his belt I can forsee a bit of purging from some players who have underperformed. A lot of our 2nd and 3rd tier guys took steps backwards this year.
 
Nolan Gorman hit his ninth homer today. I was among the group who wanted Carter Stewart over him, but Gorman is off to a ridiculous start.
 
Lead off single for Pache. 3-3 so far in AA.

Waters walk and Contreras double in their second at bat.

Kyle Wright is going to never make his AAA debut apparently with the Atlanta area suddenly relocating to the tropics. /s
