Mason Melotakis Thriving in Fall League

After a strong 2016 season in which he finished with a 2.67 ERA, lefty Mason Melotakis is carrying over his momentum with a strong start to his Fall League season. In four games this fall Melotakis has only allowed one earned run while striking out four batters. Melotakis's teammate, Stephen Gonsalves has also excelled so far. In his lone start Gonsalves only surrendered one run in three innings of work.

KILLEBREW AWARD WINNER: DAVID HURLBUT

By: Seth Stohs

David Hurlbut has been in the Twins organization for a long time, since he signed in 2011 as the team's 28th round pick in the 2011 draft out of Cal State-Fullerton. The team actually drafted him two years earlier out of junior college. Hurlbut has moved up the Twins ladder slowly, but consistently. He spent a year-and-a-half in the Midwest League and then again in the Florida State League. He pitched out of the bullpen and found much more success as a starter. In 2013, he posted a 2.82 ERA. In 2014, he posted a 2.20 ERA. In 2015 he went 11-7 with a 3.18 ERA, mostly in Chattanooga (though he made one start in Ft. Myers and one start in Rochester).

Hurlbut returned to the Lookouts for the 2016 season. He went 7-7 with a 3.51 ERA. He moved up to Rochester for five late-season starts.

Of his season, he said, "I feel that my season went well. I'm always working on perfecting my craft with the tools I have been given. I'm not satisfied by any means, but I take pride in knowing that I step on the pitcher's mound ready to work every day. I have already started working towards next season, and plan to come into spring training ready to go!"

But Hurlbut was also valuable throughout the season in the community of Chattanooga. He was excited to learn he had been named the Lookouts recipient of the Killebrew Award.

Hurlbut said, ""The award is important to me, but not as important the actual community service. It feels good to be recognized."

He stayed busy on the days he didn't pitch. He frequently was involved in team events around the Chattanooga area. "We were able to go children's hospitals and special-needs schools to go spend time with kids. We did our best to put a smile on their faces, and gave out souvenirs to as many kids as we could. The Lookouts did a good job supporting the volunteers with whatever we needed to make sure we could try and make their day a little bit better."
