For this piece, I will highlight the top performers at the plate and on the mound from the previous week of play. Below is the hotlist for Week Ten. Here is last week’s Hotlist.
Who’s Hot At The Plate?
Garret Guillemette – Guillemette has had a decent season so far but put together his best week this week. The 22-year-old catcher hit .435 with 3 doubles, a homer and 4 runs batted in. Overall, he has a .735 OPS in 45 games and is hitting .364 in the month of June.
Shay Whitcomb – Feels like Whitcomb has been on this list almost every week, and here he is again. This week in six games for Sugar Land, he hit .364 with a double 2 homers, 10 runs batted in and 3 stolen bases. Overall he is hitting .303 with 15 HR, 59 RBI in 62 games.
Pedro Leon – Leon has really put things together in the 2024 season. Like Whitcomb, he has been a frequent flyer on this list. This week in six games for Sugar Land, Leon hit .429 with a double, homer, 4 runs batted in and 4 stolen bases. Overall he has 13 homers, 18 stolen bases this season.
Tommy Sacco – Sacco has been solid for the Hooks this season and had one of his best weeks this week. The 25-year-old hit .300 with a triple, 2 homers and 5 runs batted in. Overall he is hitting .251 with a .348 OBP in 57 games in Double-A.
John Garcia – Coming off a few big weeks, Garcia put together another strong week for Asheville. The 23-year-old catcher hit .364 with 2 homers and 6 runs batted in. I wrote here that he is flying under the radar, and this season he has been strong posting a .834 OPS.
Who’s Hot On The Mound?
Jake Bloss – Bloss continued his dominant run ending up on this list again. The right0hander made one start and tossed 6.1 no-hit innings with 6 strikeouts. Cesar Gomez finished off the no-hitter. Bloss has a 1.61 ERA allowing only 19 hits in 44.2 innings in Double-A.

Jose Guedez – Guedez was another guy I wrote about flying under the radar, and he had another good outing this week. The right-hander made one start allowing 1 hit and 1 run over 5 innings of work. Overall he has a 2.85 ERA with 53 K in 47.1 innings this season.
Alonzo Tredwell – Tredwell was a little shaky to start the season but turned in his best start as a professional this week. He went 5 innings allowing 1 run, no walks, and struck out 4. The first 4 innings were no-hit too. Hopefully this is a sign of things to come.
