Under the Radar Minor League AL Hitting Performance of the Week
2B Corban Joseph, Double-A Trenton (NYY)
season stats: .313 BA, 4 HR, 41 RBI, 23 2B, 28 BB, 63 K, 3 SB in 71 games

It's been a good year for Yankees second basemen with Robinson Cano an MVP candidate and David Adams having a great season (.900 OPS in 39 games) with Double-A Trenton. Joseph, the starting second baseman for Hi-A Tampa, is no exception. The team's 4th Round pick back in 2008 has been on fire as of late, hitting in seven straight games, including an incredible four-double game on June 27th. He's been extremely consistent, hitting over .300 in April, May, and June, and is a .338 hitter with runners in scoring position. The left-handed batter, compared by some to Chase Utley with less power, profiles as an above-average hitting second baseman with good plate discipline.
