I’ll be doing this at the end of each week, we’ll go Monday through Sunday since we started on a Monday.

First things first, how did this Jammers do? A very unfortunate 3-4. Angel Espada certainly might be a little disappointed to be under .500 with the way his club has played, but the little things are hurting Jamestown early. Errors, baserunning mistakes and not hitting in clutch situations is why Jamestown is looking up in the standings despite pretty good team statistical numbers.

My NYPL Player of the Week: David Chester (Lowell) — Could go anywhere here, but from a purely statistical standpoint (since I clearly don’t see all the games), Chester is hit .448 with two homers, four doubles, seven RBI and eight runs scored. He played in all seven games this week as well.

Other notables — Austin Elkins (Tri-City) hit .476 with a homer in six games. Jobduan Morales (Tri-City) hit .450 with a homer. Dreily Guerrero (Lowell) hit a whopping .563 but only in four games. Juan Romero (Mahoning Valley) had three homers this week, two of which I was fortunate enough to see on Opening Day.

NYPL Pitcher of the Week: Gabriel Ynoa (Brooklyn) — This is going to be a tough award each week to hand out (especially without split stats on the league’s website) but Ynoa started two games, went 1-0 with a 1.50 ERA in 12 innings. Struck out eight and only allowed six hits and a walk.

Other notables — Josh Warner (Williamsport) Joan Monter0 (State College) Silvio Medina (Auburn) and Vincent Velasquez (Tri-City).
