Commodore legend David Price has come on in a big way thus far in 2021. Working as a starter/reliever combo, the Murfreesboro, Tennessee native has a 2-0 record with a 3.57 ERA in 17 games played.

Atlanta Braves shortstop Dansby Swanson has come on in a big way over the past month. Swanson hit an above average .257 with seven home runs and 20 RBIs. For the season, the Marietta, Georgia native is hitting .237 with eleven home runs, including this one last night.



Since last month’s edition of VandyBoys in the Pros, Sonny Gray has been placed on the 10 Day injured list. In just ten starts this season, the Smyrna, Tennessee native owns just a 1-4 record with a 3.42 ERA. Gray is expected to miss just two more turns in the Reds rotation before coming back. He’s been out since June 9th.

Eleven year pro Mike Minor has had a decent year as a starter for the Kansas City Royals. The Chapel Hill, Tennessee native owns a 5-4 record with a 4.63 ERA in 14 starts.

Los Angeles Dodgers ace pitcher Walker Buehler has been flawless in the early portion of the 2021 season. The Lexington, Kentucky native has a 6-0 record with a 2.38 ERA in 13 starts. The former VandyBoys midweek starter has not recorded a loss since September 21, 2019 a span of 29 starts.

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds has been money over the past month and really the entire 2021 campaign for a rather lowly Pittsburgh Pirates team. The former Commodore outfielder has hit .299 over the past month adding seven long balls and 18 RBIs. For the season, Reynolds is hitting .293 with ten home runs.

It seems like every time I do one of these updates, Mike Yastrzemski never ceases to amaze me. In the past month, the former VandyBoys outfielder hit .240 with three home runs, none more impressive than this week’s walk off grand slam into McCovey Cove. For the season, “Yaz” is hitting .226 with seven home runs.



Fellow San Fransisco Giant Tyler Beede has been continuing his rehab in hopes of coming back from Tommy John Surgery.

Curt Casali spent some time on the 10 Day injured list with a left wrist strain. He was activated on June 12th, but has only recorded four at bats since.

Tony Kemp has been raking this last month. Making most of his starts at second base, the VandyBoy hit .309 with two home runs and twelve RBIs. Kemp raised his average to .275 for the season. He has also been flashing the leather quite a bit over the past month.



Carson “Filthy” Fulmer was demoted to AAA Louisville on May 24th. In Just 20 MLB appearances, Fulmer had an ugly 6.66 ERA.

Sam Selman was demoted to AAA Sacramento on May 27th. In just seven MLB games, the Austin, Texas native only mustered a 4.50 ERA.

Jordan Sheffield was placed on the 10 Day injured list on June 5, 2021. Tough luck for “Sheff” as he was having a decent season with a 3.26 ERA in in 19 games.

Ben Bowden has spent the past month bouncing around between the 10 Day injured list and the Triple A Albuquerque Isotopes. Bowden has appeared in nine MLB games in the previous month, winning one game and recording an ERA slightly over 3.

JJ Bleday and Jake Eder having been making a massive impact for the Pensacola Blue Wahoos. For Bleday, the power has been there with five home runs in 134 at bats. Eder has been even more impressive with a 1.26 ERA in seven MILB starts.





Austin Martin has found a groove for the New Hampshire Fisher Cats. The do it all utility man has hit a respectable .261 with two home runs in his first 119 pro ball at bats.



Harrison Ray recorded his first professional home run for the Dunedin Blue Jays. Then a few at bats later, he recorded another one.
