Ed. Note: Apologies on the tardiness of this post. My weekend turned out busier than I had originally anticipated.

While the overall averages didn't change a whole lot, there were some players that had major changes, both positive and negative.
It looks as though Matt Gonzalez is finally starting to heat up. If he can keep moving in this direction, Tech's offense becomes that much more dangerous.
Kel Johnson's bat is also heating back up.
The thing that probably stands out to me most, though, is Daniel Spingola. After hitting eight triples last year, which gave him a sky-high slugging, his slugging percentage this season is a meager .288, with only one extra-base hit. I'm not sure what's going on with him, but it will be interesting to see if he can revert back to how he was last season.

I remember that back before the season began, I got a question in the mailbag asking who would step up as the ace of the staff. My pick of Devin Stanton is looking pretty bad at this point in the season. But I do think we've finally found an ace (-knocks on wood-) in Brandon Gold. In just four appearances and two starts, he has already surpassed nearly everybody in virtually every category. The guy's a phenomenal pitcher and I hope he can keep it up.
