Justin Miller Named NYPL Batter of the Week
It’s a baker’s dozen of weekly honors for the Nats farm system, with Auburn’s Justin Miller picking up the hardware for hitting .500 last week (12-for-24).
Miller also homered and drove in six last week. Since the All-Star game in mid-August, he has batted .371/.444/.613, a stretch of 18 games.
The 22-year-old was drafted in the 18th round of the 2010 First Year Player Draft from Middle Tennessee State University.
Good for him, although I’m still trying to come to grips with where that late-season power surge came from.
