Rangers’ Osorio and Perich Earn Player of the Month Honors

In a standout month for the Texas Rangers’ minor league system, outfielder Hector Osorio and infielder Rafe Perich have been recognized as the Players of the Month for May in their respective leagues. Osorio, playing for the Hickory Crawdads in the Carolina League, showcased his offensive prowess with an impressive .339/.449/.598 slash line. Over the course of May, he drew 15 walks while striking out just 13 times across 87 plate appearances. At just 21 years old, Osorio has established himself as a promising talent, currently holding a .291/.427/.547 line through 50 games this season. His strong performance suggests that a promotion to high-A Hub City could be on the horizon.

Before his promotion to AA Frisco late in May, Perich delivered a remarkable .345/.448/.747 slash line for Hub City, highlighted by an impressive 10 home runs in just 105 plate appearances. This season, he has maintained a solid overall performance, boasting a .303/.394/.606 line at high-A before making the leap to double-A.
