2026 VT Baseball Summer League Updates: Week of 7/20…
Summer league play is further starting to wind down as we had only 4 hitters and 1 pitcher make appearances this past week but there were some noteworthy performances, including Aiden Arnett who continues to be a mainstay in Player of the Week consideration.
Player(s) of the Week
• Aiden Arnett (Madison, Northwoods League) – He had another huge week as he played in 8 games and had a slash line of .385 avg / .484 obp / .769 slg / 1.253 ops that included a double, 3 home runs, 8 rbi’s, 7 runs scored and 3 stolen bases. The level of consistency coupled with standout productivity he has shown throughout not only this summer but last summer as well, is almost uncanny. Summer production doesn’t always translate to college success, but what he is doing in a competitive summer league is pretty impressive for someone that has yet to play in a collegiate game.
Other Notes
• Danny Lazaro (Upper Valley, NECBL) – He made another start this past week on 7/22. He wasn’t as dominant as in his previous outing, but he did manage to post a solid outing of 4.0 ip, 4 h, 2 r, 2 er, 2 bb, 2 so, 1 hbp and 1 hr. With that performance, his summer stat line moved to 4.05 era and 1.20 whip in 13.1 ip.
• Justin Munoz (Burlington, Appalachian League) – He continued his very up-and-down summer with a poor week at the plate, going just 1-for-13 (.077 avg) in 17 plate appearances. With his struggles last week, he is now hitting just .206 for the summer but has a more respectable .732 ops.
• Palmer Hornick (Pulaski, Appalachian League) – He had another good week as he slashed .273 avg / .471 obp / .455 slg / .925 ops to go along with 2 doubles and 3 rbi in 17 plate appearances. The performance has his summer slash line sitting at .276 avg / .488 obp (VT-leading) / .586 slg (VT-leading) / 1.075 ops (VT-leading).

Not 100% sure but I think he can at least be serviceable…
