Zach Neal signed with the A’s as a minor league free agent in March and began the year at AA, then pitched in AAA, before being sent to Stockton after six starts. His first outing in the Cal League was a beauty, 8 2/3 innings of three-hit ball against  San Jose, with just one unearned run against him. The 6-3, 220-lb righty out of Oklahoma struck out 11 without giving up a walk.

OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK – SS COREY SEAGER, RANCHO CUCAMONGA
It was another big week for Seager, who at or near the top of many significant offensive categories in the California League. Hitting in every game over the week, Seager posted a line of .552/.567/.931 with five doubles, two homers and eight RBI while only striking out three times. Ranked by MLB.com as the #28 overall prospect, Seager played 27 games with Rancho last season with unspectacular results. This year he is showing his elite talent and getting better as the year goes on.
