High Desert Mavericks first baseman Ji-Man Choi reeled off the longest hitting streak in the Seattle Mariners farm system this season, a 21-gamer that ended Thursday.

Choi hit .422 (35-for-83) during his streak, with five home runs and 27 RBI. For the season he’s hitting .346 with a .439 on-base percentage.

The California League – particularly High Desert – is known for its inflated hitting statistics, but the Mariners think that Choi’s hitting talent is not a mirage.

“This is legit,” said Mariners minor league field coordinator Jack Howell, who oversees minor league coaches and players throughout the farm system.

Choi, 22, was signed by the Mariners as a teenager in his native South Korea. He was signed as a catcher, but injuries have moved him off the position.

“He was (a) prospect before, and he had a horrible back surgery,” Howell said. “He did a ton of rehab down in extended (spring training) for a year. We really loved his swing, but he said he couldn’t catch anymore so we put him at first.”

Choi has done nothing but hit since recovering from back surgery.

“We sent him to (Class A) Clinton, and he hit there,” said Howell. “We brought him to instructional league, and he hit. We sent him to Australia, and he only hit about .340 there. We brought him to spring training, and he killed it there.”

Add High Desert to the list. Choi leads the league with 21 doubles, and he ranks second in batting average and RBI.

Been waiting to see about this guy.
 
That would be nice

Minus the occasional meatball he leaves hanging, he's alright at home. I want no parts of Bonderman though.
 
Bonderman looked horrid yesterday, but I'm almost positive that he will get another start. This team needs to sweep the Sox and the Astros and split with the Yankees. If they continue to stay the course, Wedge might not make it to the end of the year.
 
I wish there was a way for them to win and Wedge still leaves.

Im daydreaming over here
 
The next 25 games will be very telling IMO. 18 at home, some favorable matchups, etc but we're 4-12 in our last 16. Wedge might not even make it to ASG the way things are heading. He'll need a miracle, IMO, to save his job for next season. Maybe not playoffs but we're going to need to be competitive and some young guys are going to need to step up big.

Hultzen might save his job, though.
 
Who's this Abe Almonte guy now? I swear he's like the 6th guy I've been hearing good things about outta nowhere.

Call him up! :lol:

I like him, more so a sleeper prospect not getting the pub like Romero, Franklin, etc. mainly cause he's a late bloomer, but the numbers are hard to ignore. He won't hit for power he but can flat out HIT. I think he'd be a big upgrade over Endy as a 4th outfielder for now. And he actually had a walk off single last night.

I remember his name being mentioned earlier with all this, oh well...I guess the drugs didnt help him much to begin with.

Did anybody know Jesus has a brother also named Jesus?
