(AKRON, OHIO) - Akron RubberDucks infielder Milan Tolentino was named Eastern League Player of the Month for July.
Tolentino hit .366/.402/.610 with five home runs and 16 RBI in 21 games in July. He led the Eastern League in average, hits (30), total bases (67), slugging percentage and OPS (1.012). During the month, Tolentino posted 11 multi-hit games and had his first career multi-home run game on July 10 in Reading.
A 2020 fourth-round pick out of Santa Margarita Catholic High School (Mission Viejo, California), Tolentino is in his second season with the RubberDucks. In 83 games with Akron this season, the 22-year-old infielder is batting .257 with nine home runs and 40 RBI.
This is the third time this season Tolentino has earned a MiLB honor. Tolentino earned Capital One Premier Plays of the Week and Month for his sliding catch in foul territory on April 23 in Altoona.
