WTHB Pitcher and Player of the Month for June

I have tallied the results of all of the WTHB Players and Pitchers of the Day for June in order to determine Player and Pitcher of the Month. A whopping 67 players received shoutouts during the month (including honorable mentions) with numerous players receiving multiple honors. With that said, here are the June winners.

PLAYER OF THE MONTH - M.P. COKINOS
Cokinos received Player of the Day honors four times during June. He hit .392/.500/.633 with ten doubles, three home runs and 25 RBI in 23 games at Lancaster in June and .424/.553/.576 in his last 10 games. He leads the Astros minor league system in batting average and is second in OBP for all full season players and leads the California league in both of those categories.

PITCHERS OF THE MONTH - ASHER WOJCIECHOWSKI AND LUIS CRUZ
Wojo and Cruz tied with three WTHB Pitcher of the Day honors each for June. Wojciechowski was 1-2 with a 2.78 ERA and a 1.021 WHIP in five starts, including one complete game, in June. Luis Cruz was 3-1 with a 1.99 ERA and a 0.926 WHIP in seven appearances (five starts) in June. Cruz walked only seven batters in the month while striking out 40.
