PBL Players of the Week

PBL Players of the Week (Week of 7-5-22)

 

North Batter: Breydon Daniel, OF, Great Falls Voyagers

Breydon Daniel tore up all the pitching the Chukars had to offer, helping the Voyagers win four of six in Idaho Falls. The switch-hitting outfielder went 9-for-18 with two homers, three doubles, a triple, and eight RBIs. Daniel was particularly dominant on Saturday, going 4-for-6, finishing a double shy of the cycle and driving in three runs as Great Falls took a 22-9 victory. The 24-year-old now ranks seventh in the PBL in runs scored and is tied for 10th in home runs.

 

North Pitcher: Nate Jenkins, Idaho Falls Chukars

After a rough start to the week in which he allowed a home run, Nate Jenkins bounced back with two strong relief appearances against Great Falls. He earned the win on Wednesday, striking out two in a scoreless inning as the Chukars snuck past the Voyagers, 6-5. While his team dropped the last four games of the series, Jenkins struck out two more in a scoreless appearance on Sunday. He’s now tied for fourth in the PBL with four wins and has 32 strikeouts in 26 ⅔ innings (10.8 K/9).

 

South Batter: Domonique Hernandez, OF, Rocky Mountain Vibes

 

Domonique Hernandez was a force in Colorado Springs this week, helping the Vibes split six games with Grand Junction. This year’s 18th pick in the PBL Draft went 8-for-20 with three homers, two doubles, a triple, and 12 RBIs. Hernandez was particularly great in Wednesday night’s 24-12 rout, going 3-for-4 with two homers and seven RBIs, including a grand slam. The 25-year-old is now tied for sixth in the PBL with 42 RBI while ranking ninth in doubles and 12th in hits.

 

South Pitcher: Kevin “Buddie” Pindel, Boise Hawks

 

Kevin Pindel is the first pitcher this year to win back-to-back Pitcher of the Week awards. He carved up the Mustangs on Friday night, pitching seven innings of one-run ball while allowing six and no walks with 10 strikeouts. Through 23 ⅓ innings this year, Pindel now has a sparkling 1.93 ERA with 29 strikeouts (11.2 K/9) against just three walks with a 0.986 WHIP. After allowing three runs in four innings in his first start of the year, Pindel has allowed just two runs over his last 19 ⅓ innings.
