REDINGTON SHORES, Fla. - Johnson City Cardinals' first baseman Kevin Woodall and Pulaski Yankees' pitcher Alexander Vizcaino have been named Appalachian League Players of the Week for July 16-22, as announced by Minor League Baseball Monday.

Woodall, 22, batted .400 in six games from July 16-22 with 11 RBI, eight runs scored, and five home runs.

The St. Louis Cardinals drafted Woodall in the 10th round of the 2018 First-Year Player Draft out of Coastal Carolina.

He surrendered just one hit while striking out six and walking one in his first win of the season. The seven innings pitched marked the longest start for a Pulaski Yankees' starter this season.
