Memphis Redbirds News Release

The St. Louis Cardinals today announced their selections for Minor League Player and Pitcher of the Month for July, with Memphis Redbirds (AAA) shortstop Masyn Winn and Palm Beach (A) left-handed starter Brycen Mautz taking home the honors.

Winn, 21, slashed .359/.427/.750 for the month, leading all qualified Cardinals minor leaguers with a 1.177 OPS and topping all hitters with 8 HR, 26 RBI, 26 runs, 33 hits, 18 extra-base hits and 69 total bases. He reached safely in 20 of 21 games played with at least one plate appearance, which included an 11-game hit streak from July 8-25 that saw him hit .471 (24-for-51) with five three-hit contests during that span. It is Winn's first career Cardinals Minor League Player of the Month award win, becoming the first Memphis middle infielder to be recognized since Breyvic Valera in August 2017.

"Masyn's outstanding month included strong defensive play at SS and impressive offensive numbers, including eight home runs," said Cardinals Assistant GM & Director of Player Development Gary LaRocque.

The 54th overall selection in the 2020 MLB Draft opened the season as the youngest player at the Triple-A level, and is hitting .285/.357/.471 with 17 home runs, 15 doubles, six triples, 59 RBI, 16 stolen bases and a Triple-A leading 91 runs scored through 98 games. He has put together four separate hitting streaks of a least 10 games this year, with a career-high 16-game streak from May 23-June 9. The Kingwood, Texas native ranks as the club's second-best prospect by Baseball America and was also named the International League's Player of the Month for July.
