Players of the Month:
Delaware Conference:

Batter of the Month: Joe Fiske, Dover Generals
Fiske Takes Delaware Conference's Best Bat Trophy: When Jon Fiske stepped up to the plate in May, he did it with confidence and today he was honored with the Delaware Conference Batter of the Month award. The young Dover right fielder posted a .387 batting average with 4 home runs, 24 RBIs and scored 22 runs. Fiske also worked pitchers for 6 walks to post a .416 on-base percentage. This year Fiske has hit 5 home runs and posted a .317 batting average.

Pitcher of the Month: Anthony Dundee, Georgetown Sixteens
Dundee Nets Delaware Conference #1 Pitcher Award: It was a very good month for Anthony Dundee in May. The 35-year-old veteran starter for the Georgetown Sixteens outpitched everybody -- young and old -- to claim the Delaware Conference Pitcher of the Month award earlier today. Dundee ran up a 6-0 record in his 6 starts during the month. In 48 innings he fanned 28 and recorded a 1.31 ERA. Currently Dundee has a 8-2 won-lost record in 11 starts with a 2.48 ERA. He also has 58 strikeouts in 87 innings.

Rookie of the Month: Burton Jones, Newark Millers
Rookie Jones Named Best in May: He's only in his debut season, but Burton Jones performed more like a veteran on the hill for the Newark Millers and walked away with May's Delaware Conference Rookie of the Month Award in the process. Last month this young hurler recorded 3 wins and no losses in 3 starts. He threw 20 innings, giving up 10 walks, fanning 14 and compiling a 0.90 ERA.

MarVa Conference:

Batter of the Month: Francisco Reyes, Ocean City Tourists
MarVa Conferences's Premier Batter Picked: Seasoned by several years of professional experience, 28-year-old Francisco Reyes put together a solid offensive month for Ocean City and was crowned May's top batter in the MarVa Conference. He batted .340 with 12 home runs, 32 RBIs and 20 runs scored. Thus far this year Reyes is batting .294 with 19 home runs, 59 RBIs and 37 runs scored.

Pitcher of the Month: Rene Perez, Richmond Cardinals
Richmond's Starter Receives MarVa Conference Pitching Award: René Perez has made fans throughout DELMARVA Baseball League take notice over the past month with an exceptional 4-0 record. No pitcher in the MarVa Conference threw better in May, garnering him the Pitcher of the Month award today. In 6 starts Perez compiled a 1.54 ERA, putting up a 4-0 record, striking out 25 and tossing 46.2 innings. Perez has a 7-1 season record so far. In 11 starts, he has fanned 43 batters in 81.1 innings with a 2.66 ERA.

Rookie of the Month: Pedro Deleon, Richmond Cardinals
MarVa Conference Names Rookie of Month: Youngster Pedro Deleón emerged as the latest MarVa Conference Rookie of the Month today. The young man from Richmond deserved the honor, batting .327 with 1 home run and 13 runs batted in. Is the month of May a harbinger of things to come or just a fluke? We'll find out someday, but for now, we'll just let Deleón enjoy the limelight. For the year Deleón is batting .275 with 4 home runs, 32 RBIs and 35 runs scored.

Dover held on to their lead over the Southern Division, but the Braves and Sixteens are still hanging around. The Braves have the pitching, the Sixteens have the money. Should be an interesting next few months. My favorites are the Generals they are just too good all around... New Castle remains on the top of the Northern Division, but the Iron Pigs are starting to move up. It will be tough for the Colonials to hold off the Iron Pigs. The Clippers slumped a little bit and the Millers are right in the mix. This might be a fun division to watch come August and September...

Annapolis maintained their 5 game lead eventhough they didn't play as good as they did in April. They just seem to be a little better than everyone else in that division. The Blue Crabs once a contender are fading fast. The only real threat here is the Tourists, but they might not have the pitching to keep up... This might be the most talented division, but unfortunately for the Cardinals, Senators and Express the Cavaliers are just better than them. Then again an injury, a slump anything is possible we are only 2 months into the season. I am surprised to see the Senators behind the Cardinals.

Ex-Cavaliers of Interest:
Don Sweetapple: 12 GS, 4-5 3.83, 1.3 WAR
Pablo Freitas: 38 G, .302-8-20, 1.5 WAR (only hit 9 HR's for us last year in 81 games)
Sun Ho: (AAA) 10 G, 1-1 7.88 (being used as a MR, was 15-6 last season as a SP w/ us)
Jose Rodriquez: (AAA) 32 G, .333-9-26 (demoted after 10 games .182-2-8)
Julio Romero: 48 G .224-6-14 (Starting Catcher, Newark Millers)
Gilberto Ramos: (A) .260-2-33 (signed with an Independent A team, after spending the last 5 years with NFK)
Joe Gould: 10 GS, 4-3, 5.19 0.6 WAR (Georgetown Sixteens, Was #5 Starter, just moved to pen)
Adrian Otero: 8 GS, 1-2 4.17, 0.6 WAR (#4 Starter, Newark Millers, injuried out 3-4 weeks, returns in 5 days )

Norfolk Recap

Two months down and we are still playing over .790 ball. We won 21 games each of the first two months, and I will be surprised if we can keep up this pace.
April: 21-4
May: 21-7
Our rotation has been key, yet Miguel Contreras has been struggling, his ERA is more than double than it was last season. And Ron Reilly has been hit or miss, everyone else has been on fire. At some point I have to expect Shawn Brock to come back down from his cloud, but I won't complain while he is up there. Arturo Ramirez is off to a stellar rookie season, but not getting much props from the writers. And Jose Matos is quietly putting together another solid season, in Contreras's shadow...

Dalton Whitaker and Will Rose have been the anchors in this pen. Dalton is 13-13 in saves and is posting a 10.4 K/9 rating. Will Rose has a 1.26 ERA and between those two I feel very confident when we get to the 8th inning. The bullpen hasn't been used much, but they all have been great.

I am surprised that our offense is #1 in the league. I didn't expect that, but with the seasons that Ed Duke and King Brock are having it helps out. Brock leads the team in RBI's, and Duke in HR's. The emergence of Duke may make our backup catcher Jose Renteria (.255-2-6) expendable, which will free up a roster spot. Just put more pressure on the kid John Phillips who is only here becuase he is a Draft-5 player (which I oddly traded for). Jose is on a one-year contract and is only here for catcher security.

Jesus Rivera started off strong and is slumping once again. This seems to be his MO. Last season he started off red-hot and then started to slump. This year he is dropping again, and the slash in his D rating doesn't help. Jose Escamilla is starting to get more time there. Jesus Rivera is a 4* player (4.5 potential) and I feel "connected" to him, becuase he is one of the original's. He has been with the Cav's since 2013, with partial seasons in '13 and '14, before becoming the full-time second baseman in 2015. The locals love him!

Ron Harris (MR) and Jose Renteria (C) have both been set to "Available"

Around the Minros:
Yokohama (AAA) 23-25 10 GB
Vaughn Griffith is showing he is ready for the big time. He is 4-3 4.23 on the season.
Derek Carter is ready to get back up to the show. He has 10 saves posting a 1.65 ERA.
Cooper Mananghaya struggled then got hurt. He is out 3 more months.
Byung-hyun Chong missed his call to join the big club, as he sits on the DL for 3 more weeks.

New Orleans (AA)
Ben Sanford has found his grove with 14 saves and a 2.55 ERA
Paul Brown our highly talented SP prospect is starting to throw the ball better. He is 4-4 4.45 ERA
Joe Chambers is showing off his run production abilities. Our #2 pick from HS in 2016. .224-9-44

San Jose (A) 33-20 - GB (tied)
Francisco Gallegos a once sought after prospect is starting to find his grove .321-5-27 (20 yrs old 1/4*)
Chris Brownell, our 2nd rounder in 2017, is off to a great start. 5-1 .247 including a no-hitter.
Carlos Morales a non-prospect is starting to make people turn heads with 17 saves and a 0.84 ERA

Jacksonville (A) 19-34 19 GB
Tom Dundee one of our #1 pick's from last season is doing ok in his first season .264-3-16
Bernardo Velez another one of our #1 pick's from last season is hitting .243-2-17 and not overly happy with it.
