News on Offense:
Outfielder Jordan Smith is this week’s recipient of the Indians Minor League Player off the Week award. Jordan is the first player this season to win the award twice (his first win was from May 28th – June 3rd). Smith batted .571 with a home run and eight RBI. He recorded the eight RBI within a three game span. Jordan is currently second in the Midwest League with a .322 batting average.
After an atrocious week at the dish last week, shortstop Francisco Lindor broke out of his funk by hitting .333 with three doubles, a home run, and eight walks. He is hitting .266 for the year with five home runs, 29 RBI and a very good strikeout-to-walk ratio (49 K’s to 42 BB).
Hitter of the Week: Jordan Smith
No surprise here. Smith batted .538 this week, scored five runs, and had 11 RBI. He was also named the Indians Minor League Player of the Week (read above).
