ARLINGTON, Texas – On Tuesday afternoon, the Texas Rangers announced the organization’s minor league award winners for April. Round Rock Express OF Leody Taveras earned the Texas Rangers Minor League Player of the Month award.

Taveras, 23, posted a .377/.391/.635/1.062 (32-85) slash line with four home runs, two triples, six doubles, and 12 RBI over 20 games in April. He led the Pacific Coast League in hits (32) and batting average (.377) for the month and compiled a 17-game hitting streak that spanned from April 16-May 8. His hitting streak is the second longest among all of Minor League Baseball in 2022.
