Pitcher of the Month: Brandyn Garcia (LHP) – Seattle Mariners (Double-A Arkansas Travelers)
June Stats: 5 GS 29.1 IP, 22 H, 7 BB, 38 K, 0.31 ERA, 1.98 FIP, 11.7 K/9
No team better illustrates the necessity of high-quality starting pitching to compete at the Major League level than the Seattle Mariners.
Selected 337th overall in the 2023 draft, this young pitcher has demonstrated the Mariners' ability to harness talent effectively, as evidenced by his outstanding performance in June on Seattle’s farm. His ERA was below 1.00, he allowed no home runs throughout the month, and he maintained a walk rate of just 2.15 per nine innings. His ground ball percentage, nearly 60%, is particularly noteworthy and a major factor in keeping his home run totals low for the 2024 season. The left-hander consistently delivered impressive starts throughout the Minor League season. After a strong month, he was promoted to Double-A on June 28th, positioning him just one step away from potentially joining the Mariners’ rotation later this year if needed.
Hitter of the Month: Deyvison De Los Santos (3B) – Arizona Diamondbacks (Triple-A Reno Aces)
June Stats: 100 PAs – .327/.368/.714 (1.082 OPS), 10 HR, 28 RBI, .388 ISO, 153 wRC+
What a remarkable year it has been for Deyvison De Los Santos.
Chosen in the Rule V draft last December by the Guardians, De Los Santos was sent back to the Diamondbacks at the end of Spring Training when Cleveland opted not to allocate a roster spot for him as the season started. Denied that chance, Deyvison responded with a performance that screamed, "I took that personally," throughout the year.
Honorable Mention: Bubba Chandler (RHP) – Pittsburgh Pirates (Double-A Altoona Curve)
June Stats: 4 GS, 25.1 IP, 19 H, 3 BB, 35 K, 2.49 ERA, 1.69 FIP, 12.4 K/9
