Charlotte Knights News Release
Quietly, Zach Remillard has put together a very strong 2022 season with the Charlotte Knights. He's been among the team leaders in nearly every offensive category this season and has been heating up even more as the season has gone on.
In July, Remillard hit .310 (22-for-71) with 12 runs scored, one double, one triple, one home run, nine RBIs and four stolen bases. He also had a team-leading .388 on-base percentage, as well as a strong .394 slugging percentage and a .782 OPS in the month.
Remillard has played a key role on the Knights all season. Whether it's on the bases, at the plate, or in the field, the 28-year-old has excelled. For the season, he's currently batting .283, which is tied with Mark Payton for the team lead (through August 8). He's also tied with Payton for the team lead in runs scored (56) and is tied for second in hits with Carlos Pérez (84).
As far as getting on base this season, Remillard has been one of the best on the team. He leads the club in walks (40) and on-base percentage (.367). Once on base, he's always a threat to steal a bag or two. Currently, he is tied with Adam Haseley for the team lead in stolen bases with 15.
IN THE FIELD
Remillard has played all around the infield this season, finding starts all around the baseball diamond. He's even had some time in the outfield this year -- showing his versatility in the Charlotte lineup.
