PITCHER OF THE WEEK – CHRIS LAMB, LHP, STOCKTON
Lamb was recognized for a solid start at High Desert, going 6 IP while allowing 6 H, 0 R, 0 BB and 11 K’s. The lefty has converted to full-time starting duties with the Ports and improved to 3-1 at week’s end. Drafted in the 11th round in 2011, Lamb was a starter at two levels in 2012 before going to the bullpen in 2013 for all 32 appearances at Beloit. Back in the rotation now that he’s in Stockton, Lamb has put together a string of good outings.

OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK – JORDY LARA, 1B, HIGH DESERT
For the second time this season, Lara takes player of the week honors with an impressive 4-homer week. His slash line was .417/.483/.958 and that is in line with what Lara’s been doing to Cal League pitchers recently. Over his last 10 games, the slugger form the Dominican Republic has an OPS of 1.451 and his .347 batting average is tops among active Cal Leaguers. Only Kyle Waldrop and Corey Seager have posted higher batting averages this year and they’re both off to AA.
