Astros June 2018 MiLB Standouts

With the calendar turning from June to July, the top five Astros minor league teams are well-poised (with Corpus Christi and Quad Cities assured playoff berths as first-half winners) and the other three teams currently in first place. (We won't talk about the rookie level clubs who are struggling a bit to start their seasons.) Here are a few of the players who have helped contribute to the success of their teams in June. I have noted a few of the more outstanding accomplishments in red.

Note: If a player played at multiple levels during the month of June, he is listed under his current level, but his stats are cumulative.

FRESNO: 16-10 in June (48-33 overall); 1st place

QUAD CITIES: 14-12 in June (44-36 overall); 3rd place for the season

There aren't a ton of standouts for the Quad Cities team right now largely because most of the players who were instrumental in getting the River Bandits to a first half first place finish have now been promoted. Many on the current roster are new to the level, but I have no doubt that they will get up to speed quickly.
