Home plate umpire, Malcom Smith wears an earpiece attached a phone during a baseball game between the Mighty Mussels and Daytona Tortugas at Hammond Stadium at Century Link Sports Complex on Thursday, July 22, 2021. Minor league baseball leagues have had various rules changes put in place by Major League Baseball this season. In the Low-A Southeast League, which includes the Fort Myers Mighty Mussels, many games are utilizing an electronic strike zone. Human umpires still "deliver" the call behind the plate, but after receiving what an electronic device states whether a pitch is a ball or a strike.Eirpiece /

California Collegiate League

Torin Montgomery-Healdsburg Prune Packers

After going hitless last Thursday against Farf, Montgomery responded by going on a huge multi-hit streak. In 5 games, Montgomery raked 13 hits including 3 doubles, a triple and a home run.

Not much else to say. It’s hard to get much better than that, and if Montgomery can keep this up it will pay dividends down the road.

Cape Cod League

Spencer Miles-Wareham Gatemen

No action in the last week from Miles. Wareham sit second-to-last in the West Division

Luke Mann-Hyannis Harbor Hawks

Mann had a solid week, with 8 hits in 17 at-bats. He drove in 6 RBIs, with 3 doubles and a home run.

Overall, Mann should be happy with the work he put in this week, even though Hyannis only won 3 out of the 6 games they played. His consistency at the plate is an asset both in the CCL and in the SEC.
