SYRACUSE CHIEFS - AAA
After 12 games, the Syracuse Chiefs find themselves atop the International League North Division with a record of 8-4. A number of players have stood out for the Chiefs in this young season. The offense has been paced so far by second baseman Chase Lambin, who has hit a scorching .367 with a .441 on-base percentage and .567 slugging percentage in nine games. Just behind him are Kevin Mench (.351/.435/.459) and Roger Bernadina (.333/.375/.500). On the mound, starters J.D. Martin and Luis Atilano have been very impressive. In three outings, Martin is 1-0 with a 2.95 ERA, while Atilano is 2-0 with a 1.64 ERA in his two starts. If these two continue to post numbers like this, it remains entirely possible that they are called upon to plug gaps in the Nationals' underperforming rotation.
