CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Gone but not forgotten. Former Lake County Captains catcher Francisco Mejia, now at Advanced-A Lynchburg, was named the Class A Midwest League Player of the Month for June last week, validating his rise up the minor league ladder.
For the month Mejia led the league in average (.429), total bases (60) and slugging percentage. Perhaps his most impressive number, however, was his OPS of 1.175, which was .200 points higher than the next highest OPS in the MWL. Mejia also finished second in the league in on-base percentage (.416), home runs (six) and hits (36).
