COREY ROSIER: Leads the MWL in runs (54), while ranking 4th in triples (5), and 5th in stolen bases (24) and walks (45; 15%)... He's swung and missed at only 8% of pitches, the 4th lowest rate in the league... 16-game on-base streak dating back to June 14.
CAUGHT 'EM: TinCaps catchers lead the league in throwing out runners trying to steal (29 CS). Individually, Brandon Valenzuela leads with 19, while Anthony Vilar has nabbed 8 of 20, and Adam Kerner has caught 2.
PATIENT: The TinCaps lead the MWL in walks drawn (4.3 per game) and also have struck out the 2nd fewest times in the MWL (8.5 per game).
MISCELLANEOUS: The TinCaps are 25-11 when scoring first (70% win rate) and 4-34 when they don't (10%)... Fort Wayne is 6-9 in 1-run games, 4-10 in 2-run games, and 0-2 in extra-innings.
260 TO THE SHOW: Since Fort Wayne's franchise was established in 1993, there have been 206 alumni who've gone on to appear in the major leagues, including 49 this season... Entering the week, Pirates outfielder Jack Suwinski (2017-18) leads MLB rookies in home runs (12), while MacKenzie Gore (2018, '21) ranks among rookies 4th in strikeouts (65)...
