Eastern League
Batter of the Month | Pitcher of the Month
Rookie of the Month


Reggie Smith battered Eastern League pitchers all June and wound up taking home the Batter of the Month Award.

"I've been around Major Sim Baseball long enough to know you really have to work hard day in and day out to be able to put up this kind of consistency," the 27-year-old Smith told reporters. "I put in a lot of work, even on the days I might not take the field, and it's always nice when everything comes together for me like it did this last month."

In 25 games, Smith hit .298 with 7 home runs, 21 RBIs and scored 15 runs.

This year, Smith is batting .264 with 14 home runs.



The premier pitcher this past month in the Eastern League was Jon Matlack of the Charlotte Monarchs. He was one mighty tough pitcher, finishing June with a sensational 5-0 record and a 1.09 ERA.

The Monarchs star made 6 starts and surrendered 41 hits in 49.2 innings. He struck out 36 and walked 12.

For this year, Matlack has chalked up 11 wins and 2 losses in 17 starts with 98 strikeouts in 136.2 innings and a 2.24 ERA.




A standout performance in June earned Rick Reuschel the Rookie of the Month Award in the Eastern League. When his name was penciled in to start by the New York skipper, it meant trouble for opposing teams.

For the month of June the 23-year-old Reuschel recorded a 5-0 won-lost mark with a 1.37 ERA and 22 strikeouts in 39.1 innings.

To this point in the season, Reuschel shows a 7-5 record, 16 starts, 118 innings, 74 strikeouts and a 2.67 ERA.

Western League
Batter of the Month | Pitcher of the Month
Rookie of the Month


Denver Gold fans believe they've got a talented young star in Cesar Cedeno.

He did nothing to dissuade that notion in June, as he hit .426 with 4 home runs, 13 RBIs and 18 runs scored.

The end result was the center fielder being named the Western League Batter of the Month.

Thus far this season, Cedeno has hit .311 with 10 home runs, 39 RBIs and scored 48 times.



Don Gullett will be bringing June's Western League Pitcher of the Month trophy home to Houston. He excelled all month long as he kept opposing hitters guessing, reaching and hoping.

Gullett started 6 games, going 5-1 with 24 strikeouts in 48.1 innings as he compiled his 1.30 ERA.

On his stats sheet this season, Gullett shows a 11-3 record, 16 starts, 124.1 innings, 76 strikeouts and a 1.66 ERA.



Youngster Al Bumbry emerged as the latest Western League Rookie of the Month today. The young man from Seattle deserved the honor, batting .324 with 2 home runs and 17 runs batted in. Is the month of June a harbinger of things to come or just a fluke? We'll find out someday, but for now, we'll just let Bumbry enjoy the limelight.

This year, Bumbry has hit 4 home runs and posted a .346 batting average.
