Smith provided plenty of fireworks for Colorado Springs last week.

Concepcion's final game before the Southern League All-Star break was one to remember, as the 26-year-old hit for the cycle and drove in five runs on Saturday against Carolina.

If Eric Young Jr. keeps putting up numbers like he did last week, he's sure to garner as much adoration from Rockies fans as his father did years ago.

The 22-year-old also proved he knows how to get on base, going 14-for-28 with five walks as the team's leadoff man.

.385 (10-26), 2 R, 1 2B, 0 3B, 2 HR, 11 RBI, 2 BB, 6 SO, 0 SB, .682 SLG

Castillo also drove in a run in every game during the team's three-game series at Kinston.

Florida State League
Lorenzo Scott, Jr., Jupiter
.389 (7-18), 7 R, 0 2B, 0 3B, 2 HR, 3 RBI, 2 BB, 5 SO, 3 SB, .722 SLG
Although Scott has been struggling at the plate for much of the season (he leads the team with 82 strikeouts), he showed teams around the Florida State League just how dangerous he can be when he gets into a groove.

.500 (14-28), 3 R, 3 2B, 2 3B, 2 HR, 6 RBI, 0 BB, 4 SO, 4 SB, .964 SLG
Maldonado continues to be the saving grace for a in last place in the Sally League in batting. The Puerto Rico native had at least two hits in five games last week, including a 3-for-5 night against Rome on Friday in which he had three RBIs and fell a single short of the cycle. Maldonado leads the Sand Gnats in home runs (9), total bases (118), slugging percentage (.509) and OPS (.843).

Tyler Mach, Williamsport
.414 (12-29), 7 R, 4 2B, 1 3B, 1 HR, 9 RBI, 2 BB, 1 SO, 0 SB, .724 SLG
It's hard to imagine that a 12-for-29 week could actually bring down a player's average, but that's exactly what it did to Mach, who is hitting a blistering .438 in 12 games this season. Three of those hits came in the team's 13-3 win over Jamestown on Monday. The former Oklahoma State second baseman had two doubles, a triple and five RBIs in the win. Mach drove in three more runs the next game in a 3-for-4 night.

Matthew Downs, Spokane
.500 (13-26), 12 R, 5 2B, 0 3B, 2 HR, 3 RBI, 4 BB, 3 SO, 1 SB, .606 SLG

Adam Coe, Danville
.462 (12-26), 6 R, 6 2B, 0 3B, 1 HR, 6 RBI, 1 BB, 3 SO, 1 SB, .808 SLG
It's hard to vie for individual accolades on a team that includes eight players who are batting over .300, but Coe claimed this week's honor in large part because of the number six. Coe had six RBIs, six doubles and scored six runs. The 19-year-old celebrated Independence Day in grand style by going 4-for-5 with two doubles, a home run and two RBIs.

Clint Robinson, Idaho Falls

The lefty from Jefferson City, Mo., capped a five-game streak of at least two hits by going 3-for-5 with a home run and five RBIs in the team's 13-3 win over Casper on Friday.
