Below is another monthly installment of updates on former VT Baseball players in the pros. Recent Level Changes (since 6/1/26) • David McCann had a loud start to the month of June in Rookie League play with 2 hr and 5 rbi in the first four games of the month which was the end of a rehab assignment and then was activated by the Yankees’ A ball team on 06/09/26. During the rest of June at the A level, he slashed .317 avg / .431 obp / .512 slg / .944 ops in 51 pa while splitting time between 1B, C and DH. • Jack Hurley was moved from AAA to AA on 06/09/26 after starting the month going 1-for-6 in 3 games at the AAA level. In AA after his re-assignment, Hurley slashed .270 avg / .308 obp / .378 slg / .686 ops in 39 pa. • Drue Hackenberg continued to have a nice bounce back from injury as he made two starts in AA in the month of June and was really effective in both as he went 5.0 innings in both only giving 1 earned run across 10.0 innings. That earned him a promotion to AAA on 06/12/26 after which he struggled a bit in 3 appearances, posting a 5.40 era and 1.73 whip in 13.1 ip. • Zack Brzykcy was called up to the Majors on three occasions during the month of June. In his first two stints, he was optioned back down to AAA quickly without making an appearance but then he was called back up on 06/30/26 and made his Marlins debut that same night against TJ Rumfield and the Colorado Rockies which per Damian Salas, was the first time a former Hokie pitcher and former Hokie hitter faced each other in an MLB game. Overall, he had a good month in June with a 2.31 era and 1.63 whip in 11.2 ip across AAA and MLB so hopefully he can be a factor in the Marlins’ bullpen during the second half of the season. • Jesse Hahn was released by the Blue Jays’ AAA affiliate on 06/09/26 and remains unsigned. Trending Up (since 6/1/26) • Kerry Carpenter bounced back nicely in June after dealing with an injury in May. For the month of June at the MLB level, he posted a slash line of .253 avg / .313 obp / .573 slg / .887 ops with 7 hr and 19 rbi. For the season through the end of June, he has a slash line of .235 avg / .307 obp / .503 slg / .810 ops with 13 hr and 36 rbi in 202 plate appearances. • TJ Rumfield continued his standout rookie season with a very good month in June. For the month, he posted a slash line of .316 avg / .400 obp / .589 slg / .989 ops that included 5 hr and 17 rbi which brings his season slash line to .294 avg / .374 obp / .490 slg / .864 ops including 12 hr and 45 rbi. • Tanner Schobel continues to trend up at AAA. In June, he posted a slash line of .265 avg / .342 obp / .426 slg / .769 ops and over the last three months, he has steadily improved with a .636 ops in April, a .726 ops in May and a .769 ops in June. • Nick Biddison had a nice month in June at the A+ level. For the month of June, he posted a slash line of .260 avg / .386 obp / .425 slg / .811 ops and over the last three months, he has steadily improved with a .571 ops in April, a .633 ops in May and a .811 ops in June. • Jared Davis had an absolutely massive month of June in Rookie ball. For the month, he slashed .340 avg / .507 obp / .453 slg / .960 ops and also reached based safely in 18 of 19 games. • Christian Worley had a solid month of June and has improved his era each month this season, as he had a 7.27 era in April, a 5.23 era in May and a 2.89 era in June. Trending Down (since 6/1/26) • After a really nice month of May, Carson Taylor struggled mightily in the month of June at the AAA level, posting a slash line of just .161 avg / .210 obp / .268 slg / .478 ops in 62 plate appearances. The poor month dropped his season avg to .226 and his ops to .669. • Cade Hunter continues a downward trend that started in May. For the month of June, he posted a slash line of .158 avg / .298 obp / .211 slg / .508 ops in 47 pa and since the beginning of May, he had a poor slash line of .155 avg / .278 obp / .247 slg / .526 ops and is hitting just .192 on the season at the AA level. • Eddie Micheletti has cooled off a bit. In June, he posted a slash line of just .182 avg / .287 obp / .341 slg / .628 ops and has seen his ops decline over the last 3 months, with a .863 ops in April, a .795 ops in May and a .628 ops in June. Despite the subpar June, he still has a .759 ops for the season with 10 hr and 31 rbi. • Jonah Hurney continues to struggle in A+ this year as he posted a 13.50 era and 2.17 whip in 6.0 ip during the month of June and for the season has some pretty rough stats, posting a 8.04 era and 2.17 whip in 15.2 ip. • After finding a lot of success at the A level in April and May, Mathieu Curtis had mixed results at the A+ level in June posting a 4.50 era and 1.20 whip in 10.0 ip. • Grant Manning had a few bad outings in June at the A level which led to him posting a 5.09 era and 1.30 whip in 17.2 ip for the month. Despite the uneven month, he has a nice 2.96 era and 1.15 whip in 48.2 ip at the A level for the season through the end of June. Injuries • Carson DeMartini continues to be on the 7-day IL after being placed on that back in earlyMay due to a wrist injury. He hasn’t played since then, so he has been out of action for two months. I am not sure why they haven’t moved him to the 60-day IL or if it might be something that could sideline him for the rest of the season. • Joe Mantiply was moved from the 15-day IL to the 60-day IL on 06/03/26 due to left knee inflammation. His 15-day IL stint was made retroactive to 5/18/26, so we could see him start a rehab assignment in the second half of July. Other Notes • Gavin Cross still has really poor stats on the season (slash line of .211 avg / .292 obp / .304 slg / .595 ops), but he had another respectable month in June with a slash line of .270 avg / .349 obp / .405 slg / .755 ops in 84 plate appearances and since the beginning of May, he has a .268 avg and .724 ops. • Ian Seymour put together a solid month of June, posting a 3.86 era and 0.95 whip and .167 ba against across 21.0 innings which included two starts. With his third consecutive solid month, he has managed to get his season era back down to 4.32 and since the beginning of April, he has a 3.47 era and 1.05 whip. • Jordan Geber had a bit of an odd month. Despite having a 3.48 era, he struggled with command (14 bb in 10.1 ip) and had just 5 so which led to a 2.23 whip and 0.36 so-bb ratio. • Anthony Simonelli started a rehab assignment in Rookie ball back in late May and then was assigned to the Royals’ AA team in late June. His rehab assignment wasn’t particularly great (8.00 era, 1.67 whip in 9.0 ip) but in two outings in June at the AA level, he was perfect in 2.0 ip while striking out 3 batters. • Wyatt Parliament started a Rookie ball rehab assignment in early May and made his professional debut shortly after. He spent most of the month of May on rehab and finished with a 4.50 era and 1.20 whip in 10.0 ip and then was activated by Yankees’ A ball team on 05/26/26. Since then, he has made 5 appearances (4 starts) and has gotten off to a slow start with a 7.15 era and 1.76 whip in 22.2 ip. • After being released by the Baltimore organization back in late January, Jacob Stretch signed a minor league contract with the Texas Rangers on 05/11/26. He began in Rookie league ball and has spent most of the season there but did get a call-up to the Rangers’ AAA team on 06/19/26 and made one relief appearance (1.0 ip, 0 h, 0 er, 0 bb, 1 so) before being sent back down to Rookie ball. For the season in Rookie ball, he has struggled with a 8.78 era and 1.80 whip in 13.1 ip.
