Jake McCarthy is on a hitting spree down in Triple-A Reno

You’ve likely heard this before: Jake McCarthy is currently knocking the cover off the ball with the Reno Aces.

McCarthy, who posed a challenge for opposing pitchers last season, has had a roller-coaster year in 2023, shuttling between the Diamondbacks and the Aces three times.

The Diamondbacks 2018 1st-round pick originally made the opening day roster, however, after an early rough month (.143 BA) he was quickly demoted to the Aces in late April.

This set off a recurring pattern.

Most recently, after his August 16th demotion to the minors, McCarthy has found his offensive groove once again. Over the past few weeks, he’s posted a remarkable .477 batting average, scored 20 runs (with at least one run in every game during this period), and recorded 10 RBIs.

In recognition of his performance, the 26-year-old was named the Pacific Coast League Player of the Week
