Charlotte Knights<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Record<\/strong> 4-2 (last week), 31-32 (overall)<\/p>\n

The Knights dropped two of the first three before their offense picked up a ton of steam. Charlotte scored 31 runs in the final three games to take the series against Lehigh Valley, 4-2. Lehigh Valley is 43-20 with a run differential of +104, so it is highly unusual for them to lose a series like this. Well done to the Knights for this excellent performance against the team with the best record and run differential in the International League.<\/p>\n

Brooks Baldwin, 24, was on top of his game this week, finishing 9-for-24 with three homers, two doubles, four walks, and six driven in. Baldwin started the season with the White Sox but was optioned to Charlotte on May 19. Baldwin slashed .215\/.257\/.331 (63 wRC+, -0.6 fWAR) with the White Sox, but it has been an entirely different story in Charlotte. Through 16 games with the Knights, Baldwin\u2019s slash line is .343\/.405\/.716 (181 wRC+), so he has provided a huge spark. Overall, Baldwin\u2019s performance at the MLB level has not been overly impressive through 77 games. However, given the way Baldwin is swinging the bat now, he might not be waiting much longer for another chance.<\/p>\n

In a week with a lot of quality pitching, the Barons split the series against Rocket City (21-34). The Barons scored 23 runs and only allowed 15 in six games.<\/p>\n

Starter Jake Palisch, 26, lowered his ERA even further, and it now sits at 0.77 through 47 innings. This week, Palisch pitched 12 innings across two starts, and although he allowed four runs, none of them were earned. Impressively, Palisch has still only allowed one home run all season. That low of a home run rate is very unlikely to be sustainable, but his ability to force weak contact is much improved from last year.<\/p>\n

Entering this season, given the immense amount of talent on the Barons pitching staff, there was not much focus on Palisch. However, the southpaw is assertively putting himself in the picture.<\/p>\n

This marks the third consecutive 3-3 week for the Winston-Salem Dash. This series appeared to be going very wrong, with the Dash only scoring a total of five runs in the first three games. However, they picked it up and won the final three games to split the series against Asheville (25-32).<\/p>\n

I am delighted to announce that outfielder Samuel Zavala, 20, has decisively won his first weekly award of the season. Zavala went 12-for-20 with two homers, three walks, and six RBIs. No matter how this is framed, there is no denying that this was a monster week for Zavala, who is slashing .251\/.336\/.395 (112 wRC+) overall.<\/p>\n

Zavala\u2019s walk rate of 11.0% is lower than it was in 2024 (17.8%), but there is plenty of upside to his more aggressive approach. Zavala is still walking and getting on base plenty, his batting average is 64 points better, and his slugging percentage is 94 points better than last year. Zavala\u2019s biggest need for improvement from 2024 was the ability to make sharp contact, and he often displayed that ability within San Diego\u2019s system. This was a major reason why he was one of the best Padres best prospects at the time of the Dylan Cease trade. Despite his young age, Zavala plummeted in many prospect rankings after his .187\/.340\/.301 season in 2024. This April, the downward trend continued, as Zavala\u2019s numbers (.171\/.263\/.271) were very disappointing. However, recently, something seems to have clicked, and he was firing on all cylinders this week.<\/p>\n

The Cannon Ballers finished strong, coming from behind to walk it off on Sunday to seal the series. Kannapolis took four out of six against Myrtle Beach (20-35).<\/p>\n

It was a fantastic week for the big bats, as Lyle Miller-Green narrowly edged out George Wolkow for the weekly award. Miller-Green collected his first award of the season by finishing 7-for-17 with a homer, a double, five walks, and a stolen base in his only attempt. Miller-Green, 24, is slashing .232\/.370\/.391 (120 wRC+), and he has been a boom-and-bust type of hitter. To move up in the system, Miller-Green will need to be more consistent. However, when he is swinging a hot bat, there are very few players who are more enjoyable to watch.<\/p>\n

For the third consecutive week, the ACL White Sox won three out of five, and they are finally above .500.<\/p>\n

Shortstop Mason Dinesen, 26, was an extremely reliable player, finishing 10-for-21 with three doubles and three stolen bases without getting caught. Dinesen\u2019s best performance was on Friday, when he went 3-for-5 with two doubles and two RBIs.<\/p>\n

Starting pitcher Mathias LaCombe, 22, was also dominant in his start. LaCombe made about as much of an impact in three innings as he could have made, striking out five without allowing any hits.<\/p>\n

The DSL White Sox opened their season by winning two of their first four games.<\/p>\n

Outfielder Frank Mieses, 17, made a very successful professional debut. Mieses played in all four games and collected at least one hit in all of them. On Saturday, Mieses picked up four RBIs, three of which came on a three-run homer. Well done to Mieses on getting off to such a fast start to his professional career.<\/p>\n

Shortstop Yordani Soto, 16, also made a positive impact, going 5-for-11 with two walks and a double. Soto was also a menace on the base paths, stealing four stolen bases without getting caught.<\/p>\n
