Position Player of the Month – Josh Bell
While his performance doesn’t jump out to you, it’s his improvement that earned him this spot. In June, Bell posted his best month of the season, mashing 4 home runs, 9 doubles and 19 RBI. He was promoted to the big league club but he’s supposed to be back with Norfolk Monday.

Relief Pitcher of the Month – Brandon Cooney
