Parenty, in his second season with the team, moved to the leadoff slot on May 31 at Windy City and has been on base in all but nine games since making the switch. The New York native leads the team with 34 multi-hit performances. Parenty currently owns a batting average of .320, sixth in the league and one of the best marks in team history. Parenty owns 25 RBIs to go with nine doubles, two triples and 10 stolen bases while only striking out 32 times in a team high 344 at bats.
