PITCHER OF THE WEEK: Robert Gasser book-ended the series in Lansing with wins, combing for 12 scoreless innings. This performance earned him Midwest League Pitcher of the Week as he tallied 12 Ks and just 4 hits and 3 walks, including 7 no-hit innings Sunday...

Expected Fielding Independent Pitching is similar to ERA, but focuses solely on strikeouts, unintentional walks, hit-by-pitches, and projected home run rate (entirely removing results on balls hit into play)... Gasser ranks 3rd in overall strikeouts (80) and 5th in innings pitched (63.2).

COREY ROSIER: Leads the MWL in runs (49), while ranking 3rd in walks (41; 16%), and 4th in stolen bases (21) and BB/K (0.8)...

ROBERT HASSELL: Ranks 2nd in the MWL in average (.318) and hits (69), 4th in RBIs (42), 6th in stolen bases (19), 7th in OPS (.876) and SLG (.498), and 9th in OBP (.378). Also 9th in wRC+ (143), which estimates a player's offensive contribution and normalizes it so that 100 is league average... 7th lowest swinging strike % (9%).
