Brooklyn Cyclones News Release


BROOKLYN, N.Y. - INF Jesús Báez has been named the South Atlantic League Player of the Week for his performance from 5/20-5/25 at Jersey Shore.

The 20-year-old was a force to be reckoned with against BlueClaw pitching, going 11-for-17 at the dish across six contests. Báez mashed two home runs, logged a double, collected 10 RBI and scored six times.

The infielder collected at least one hit in five of the six games, and pieced together multi-hit affairs in four games. Báez will enter play on Tuesday riding a five game hitting streak, during which he's 11-for-17.

Báez finished Tuesday's contest etching his name in Cyclones history, tying a single game record for most walks in a single game (4), a mark which has been hit 11 times during the history of the franchise. He also notched a multi-home run game, leaving the yard twice with five RBI in the second game of a doubleheader on May 23rd. Between both games of the twin bill, he logged seven RBI that day.

Jesus Baez doing more damage to Jersey than if Wawa went out of business.
