Carolina League
Matt Wieters, Frederick
.421 (8-19), 9 R, 0 2B, 0 3B, 3 HR, 4 RBI, 4 BB, 1 SO, 0 SB, .895 SLG
The fifth overall pick in the 2007 First-Year Player Draft continues to show that he may not be long for the Carolina League. He hit in every game last week, and was riding a nine-game hitting streak heading into Monday's action. The barrage has raised his season average to .355, which is second in the league behind Lynchburg's Jim Negrych (.402). Wieters' big game for the week came on Friday at Lynchburg, when he went three-for-four with two homers and three RBIs. He scored three runs in that game and added a homer the following day to keep his hitting streak alive. Wieters also leads the circuit in throwing out attempted base stealers (41 percent). Overall, he has a .983 fielding percentage.
Carolina League
Jake Arrieta, Frederick
1-0, 1.50 ERA, 2 G, 2 GS, 12.0 IP, 6 H, 3 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 13 SO
The Keys have quite a battery when he's on the mound and Wieters is behind the plate. Arrieta allowed only an unearned run on one hit in six innings against Kinston on Monday. The fifth-round selection (2007) from Texas Christian University allowed two runs in six innings at Lynchburg on Saturday, and picked up his third win of the season in the process. He fanned eight, the fourth time he has reached that number, which was one short of the season-high nine he had in his debut against Lynchburg
