2026 VT Baseball Summer League Updates: Week of 6/29…
Below is a look at summer league performance from this past week where Ethan Grim and Aiden Arnett three-peated as co-players of the week and Justin Munoz put together another solid week.
Player(s) of the Week
• Ethan Grim (Brewster, Cape Cod League) – Another week, another exceptional start from Grim in the Cape Cod League. In his start on 6/30, he went 4.0 scoreless innings on 3 hits and 2 walks while striking out 4. For the summer, he now has a 0.77 era and 0.86 whip across 11.2 innings in 3 starts.
• Aiden Arnett (Madison, Northwoods League) – Arnett continues to be highly productive in the Northwoods League. This past week, he played in 6 games, going 8-for-25 with 3 three doubles, a triple, 7 rbi and 6 runs scored. He also extended his hitting streak to 14 games and has reached based safely in 21 of 22 games this summer. He also leads all VT hitters this summer in basically every key stat and has a slash line of .311 avg / .454 obp / .486 slg / .940 ops and when looking at his last two summers in the Northwoods League, in 37 games he has a slash line of .322 avg / .471 obp / .492 slg / .962 ops. One other interesting note from this past week is that he got two starts at 3B, highlighting his potential positional versatility.
Other Notes
• Justin Munoz (Burlington, Appalachian League) – He only played in 3 games this past week, but he made the most of it as he went 5-for-13 with a 2b and 2 bb which gave him a slash line of .385 avg / .467 obp / .462 slg / .928 ops. He has now posted good back-to-back weeks where based on his last 5 games played, he has lifted his avg and ops from .167 avg and .645 ops to .282 avg and .890 ops.
• Ethan Ball (Yarmouth-Dennis, Cape Cod League) – He only played in 3 games this past week, but he went 3-for-8 (.375 avg) with a walk, hbp and sb. With those 3 games, he was able to improve his avg and ops from .192 avg and .564 ops to .235 avg and .637 ops.
• Aiden VanDeHatert (Greeneville, Appalachian League) – He had another solid start on 7/1, logging 3.0 innings giving up 1 earned run on 1 hit and 2 walks while striking out 3. With his last two starts, he has been able to reduce his summer era and whip from 7.04 era and 2.22 whip to 5.27 era and 1.68 whip.
• Jake Wise (Pulaski, Appalachian League) – After struggling mightily the last two weeks, he bounced back with a nice week. In two outings, he collected 2 saves while logging a pitching line of 3.1 ip, 0 h, 0 er, 1 bb, 3 so and throwing 66% of his pitches for strikes. With his efforts this past week, he was able to lower his summer era and whip from 12.96 era and 3.00 whip to 9.26 era and 2.23 whip.
• Danny Lazaro (Upper Valley, NECBL) – After not pitching since 6/11, he made two relief appearances this past week. He wasn’t particularly effective as he combined to throw 2.2 innings while giving up 3 earned runs on 3 hits and 1 walk while striking out 2. On a positive note, he continued to throw strikes as he threw 65% of his 34 pitches for strikes and leads our VT pitchers this summer with 67% strikes.
