The Triple-A Las Vegas Aviators continue to crush the ball. They rank second in the 16-team Pacific Coast League in scoring, just three runs behind the leader, and they’re third in the league in OPS. There are star performers up and down the lineup, but one in particular has stood out lately.
Over his last seven games, third baseman Sheldon Neuse is 19-for-28. Six of those games were multi-hit efforts, and five of them featured at least three knocks. His line over these 34 plate appearances is just stupid:
Neuse, last 7 gms: .679/.706/1.000, 319 wRC+, 2 HR, 3 doubles, 5 BB, 4 Ks
Holy Toledo.
