Padres MiLB June 30 Players of the Day

Ground-rules: you won’t see a too-old-for-his-league non-prospect get an award. The award may not go to the best performance of the previous night, but what I deem the most significant performance of the night…

Minor League Hitter of the Day

Chad Huffman (AA): 2-3, 2B, RBI

Minor League Pitcher of the Day

Wynn Pelzer (Low-A): 5.0 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 8 SO, 0 HR

Other Commentary

I haven’t been the biggest Wynn Pelzer fan… But he’s had two straight very nice games (combined: 11 IP, 7 H, 1 ER, 3 BB, 13 SO). Over his last 10 games he is 4-1 and has a 3.10 ERA with a 7.53 K/9 rate. He didn’t play professional ball last year, so I don’t have a track record to analyze. Pelzer is an interesting guy to watch going forward.
