Additionally, Martin topped the OKC Dodgers with 134 hits.
Vargas was named the Pacific Coast League's Top MLB Prospect, as he ranked second among PCL qualified hitters with both a .304 batting average and .404 on-base percentage and ranked third with a .915 OPS. He also finished tied for first in the league with 100 runs scored despite not playing in a Triple-A game after Aug. 30.
