Jermaine Mitchell was promoted pretty quickly but when he was with the Rockhounds, he, well, rocked.  He belted 15 doubles, 13 triples and 10 home runs in 74 games and he finished with an impressive 1.042 OPS.   He was also second on the team with 67 runs despite the limited time with the Double-A affiliate.

Michael Spina led the team with 75 RBIs and he was second on the team with 32 doubles in 129 games for Midland. He had a solid .803 OPS and he also led the team with 70 walks.

Adam Heether led the team with 13 home runs and he did it while striking out just 72 times.  His OPS was .786.  So the Rockhounds didn’t have a ton of home run talent, but they definitely have some power and it’ll be interesting to see what these guys can do when the get to the PCL.
