Pensacola Blue Wahoos News Release


Pensacola Blue Wahoos (Cincinnati Reds) vs. Montgomery Biscuits (Tampa Bay Rays)

Three to Watch on the Montgomery Biscuits:

Ryan Brett, 2B:

Ryan Brett is a former third round pick that can be an impact player due to his hustling, blue collar approach despite his smaller stature. Before his promotion to Double-A Montgomery last year, Brett hit .340 with four home runs and 22 RBI with High-A Charlotte. Brett projects to be a leadoff hitter in the Majors with above average speed and solid instincts on the base paths. Brett hit .296 with five home runs and 23 RBI over the first half of the season.

Dylan Floro, RHP:

Dylan Floro has pitched all of 2014 with the Biscuits. Floro was the Rays' Minor League Pitcher of the Year in 2013 after earning a 1.77 ERA. Floro was drafted in the 13th round of the 2012 draft out of Cal State-Fullerton. Floro is the 26th prospect in Tampa Bay's system according to Baseball America. Floro had a fantastic June, he went 3-1 with a 1.49 ERA.

Jake Hager, SS:

Jake Hager is another first round pick for the Rays with few weaknesses. Hager is a reliable defensive shortstop who can slickly turn double plays. Last year with High-A Charlotte, Hager hit .258 with 15 doubles and 33 RBIs. The Rays project him out as a possible utility player when he makes the big club. June was Hager's best month of the season when he hit .323 with two home runs and 15 RBI.
