A quick look around the web at some CCBL alums:
- Jacob May, a 2012 Cotuit Kettleer now playing for the Kannapolis Indimidators (White Sox Class A affiliate), and 2011/2012 Harwich Mariner Austin Wilson, coming up through the Seattle system (currently on the Everett AquaSox, a Class A Short Season affiliate), were both named players of the week last week. May had a 13-game hitting streak and bat .383/.429/.638 in August, and nearly hit for the cycle last Thursday–falling a triple shy. Wilson hit three of his five career home runs last week, and plated at least one run in all six games.
- You have to be a subscriber to Boston Globe for this next one for the whole story, but former Kettleer (and Vandy Boy) Michael Yastrzemski (Aberdeen IronBirds) celebrated a homecoming of sorts last week against the Lowell Spinners.
- Former Y-D Red Sox pitcher Chris Sale (2009) has been making his presence known pitching for the White Sox this season. He racked up 12 Ks in a win against Houston on August 28th. He probably deserves a little more recognition than he’s getting, but with poor run support from the AL Central last-place team, he’s not exactly in Cy Young conversation circles.
- Dustin Ackley, who played for the Harwich Mariners a few years back, is hitting well for the Seattle Mariners. His performance last Friday illustrated why he was drafted by Seattle in 2009, despite some struggles at the plate.
