26-year old starting pitcher Miguel Hernandez was signed as a minor league free agent by the Houston Cavaliers a little over a year ago and in 1976 he is getting his first chance to pitch at the big league level. In the early going he is taking full advantage of the opportunity and won the SJL's Rookie of the Month honors for May.
And L.A.'s Eduardo Obando was naturally named the MGL's Rookie of the Month.
