Sammy Siani continued his strong performance with a .417 average over the week, ranking third in hits league-wide. Creed Willems from Surprise also impressed as an offensive catcher with a .500 batting average and an on-base percentage of .545.

Gabriel Rincones Jr., playing for Glendale, led the league in hits this week with a remarkable .636 average. Ben Ross of Salt River also achieved a .636 average while showcasing versatility on the field.

Jac Caglianone of Surprise hit the hardest home run of the week at 113.1 mph, demonstrating his power-hitting capabilities. On the pitching side, Jake Miller of Scottsdale dominated with eight strikeouts over four innings without allowing any runs or walks.

Jerming Rosario closed out an excellent outing for Glendale with six strikeouts over three innings without giving up any walks or runs. Alex Santos II of Surprise maintained consistency by delivering three perfect innings against Peoria.
