MOBILE, Ala. - Infielder Luis Rengifo from the Mobile BayBears, the Double-A affiliate of the Los Angeles Angels, has been named Southern League Player of the Month for June.
Rengifo, 21, posted a .351 batting average (33-for-94) with a .470 on-base percentage. He led the BayBears with 10 stolen bases, 17 walks, and 27 runs scored. Rengifo had multiple hits in 11 of his 25 games played, including a four-hit game on June 4 at Chattanooga. He also had 11 extra-base hits with seven doubles, two triples, two home runs, and 11 RBIs.

He is currently the No. 27 prospect in the organization, according to MLB Pipeline.
