Offensive Players of the Week
For the week ending July 4

California League

Marc Krauss, Visalia

.581/.594/.968, 18-for-31, 3 2B, 0 3B, 3 HR, 15 RBI, 5 R, 1 BB, 3 K, 1 SB
Marc Krauss plated five runs in his second game of the week, but he was still just getting warmed up. He collected at least one RBI in each of the week's next five games, and he scored in every game but one. The D-backs prospect was especially hot from Tuesday to Thursday, going 11-for-14 with two homers, two doubles, three runs scored and seven RBIs over those three games. When the 2009 second-rounder "cooled off" on Friday, he still had a four-RBI game and swatted a two-run homer.

Pioneer League

Richie Rowland, Missoula

.462/.500/.769, 12-for-26, 2 2B, 0 3B, 2 HR, 5 RBI, 6 R, 1 BB, 2 K, 0 SB
Richie Rowland, teammate and brother to 2010 third-round pick Robby Rowland, has made the Diamondbacks front office look very wise for grabbing the duo. After going 0-for-1 in his first pro game, Rowland has hit in each of his following contests, and he's hit especially well this week. He was 2-for-4 with a double and two RBIs on Monday, doubled again in another two-hit game Wednesday and slapped out three hits on Thursday. He finished the week by homering on Saturday and then again on Sunday. Rowland's .488 batting average leads the Pioneer League.
