Hoskins Announced as Eastern League Player of the Month for June

It's the second time this season where a Fightins player has received the honor
By
July 6, 2016

Reading Fightin Phils first baseman Rhys Hoskins has been named the Eastern League Player of the Month for the month of June, the league announced on Wednesday. It's the second consecutive month where a Fightins player has received the honor following Fightins outfielder Dylan Cozens' award in May.

Hoskins batted .351 (39-for-111) with nine doubles, 13 home runs, 33 RBIs, 26 runs scored, one stolen base, a .415 on-base percentage and a .784 slugging percentage in 27 games during the month. The 23-year old had at least one hit in 20 of the games he played in during the month and had multiple hits in 13 of those games. He also drove in or scored at least one run in 19 of the games he played in during the month, including going 3-for-4 with a home run and a career-high six RBIs in an 8-6 win at Hartford on June 14th. 

The Sacramento, California slugger led all Eastern League players in home runs (13), RBIs (33), slugging percentage (.784), OPS (1.198), extra-base hits (22) and total bases (87) during the month of June. He also ranked among the monthly leaders in runs scored (26-2nd), hits (39-tied 2nd), batting average (.351-3rd), on-base percentage (.415-tied 4th) and doubles (9-tied 5th).

Hoskins, who is a native of Sacramento, California, is hitting .287 (91-for-317) with a league-high 24 home runs and 75 RBIs in 80 games for the Fightin Phils this season. His 24 home runs currently lead all of Minor League Baseball with Bash Brother Dylan Cozens trailing by just one home run. Hoskins' 75 RBIs rank second in organized baseball. Hoskins also won the Eastern League Player of the Week Award for the period of June 6th-June 12th and was named to the Eastern Division roster for the 2016 Eastern League All-Star Game in Akron.

Heading into the season, Hoskins was rated by MLB.com as the 19th best prospect in the Philadelphia Phillies organization. He was selected by the Phillies in the fifth round of the 2014 draft after hitting .319 with 12 homers and 53 RBIs in 59 games during his junior season at Sacramento State.
