ESTEP UP: INF Chase Estep has broken out of a major slump in a big way...Since Estep clobbered a towering 2-run home run to right field last Friday night vs. Aberdeen, the former 9th-round pick out of Kentucky has reached base safely in each of his last 6 games...Estep is 7-for-his-last-21 (.333) with 4 runs scored, 2 doubles, a home run, 3 RBI, and 2 walks...He holds a .963 OPS in that span.

ALEX SMACKS: OF Alex Ramírez had his team-season-long 19-game on-base streak snapped in game one on Wednesday but has reached in 20-of-21 games dating back to April 12...In that span, Ramírez is slashing .305/.380/.378 with a .758 OPS and a 110 wRC+...Alex is 25-for-82 at the dish with 9 runs scored, 4 extra-base hits, 1 home run, 14 RBI, 8 walks, and 4 stolen bases in 5 attempts...Since joining Brooklyn’s roster on July 4 of last year, Ramírez leads the South Atlantic League in RBI (50), hits (91), and doubles (21)...He only trails teammate OF Stanley Consuegra in extra-base hits (28) and total bases (132). 

 

STU-PENDOUS: RHP Tyler Stuart has been as consistent as any starting pitcher in the SAL in 2023...The 23-year-old punched out a career-high 9 batters over 5 innings in a no-decision last Tuesday vs. Aberdeen, adding 2.0 more shutout frames on Sunday...Entering Saturday, Stuart would lead the league in ERA (1.74), if he had enough innings to qualify...He would also be 6th in batting average against (.200)...The right-hander is also 2nd in xFIP (3.19) and 4th in strikeout rate (35.3%) plus strikeouts per nine innings (13.06).
