The St. Lucie Mets have named SS Andres Gimenez as their May Player of the Month and RHP Josh Prevost as their May Pitcher of the Month.

In the Month of May, Gimenez hit .316/.391/.443 with six doubles, two triples, and five RBI. In addition to his exploits at the plate, Gimenez would steal 12 stolen bases.

Those 12 stolen bases are part of a Florida State League leading 22 stolen bases he has on the season. He is also fourth in the league in triples (3). What makes this performance all the more impressive is Gimenez is still a teenager at 19-years old.

Equally as impressive as Gimenez’s May was Prevost’s.

In four starts, Prevost was 3-0 with a 1.71 ERA and a 1.063 WHIP.  In all four of his starts, Prevost went at least six innings with his final two starts of the month being seven inning efforts.

His best start was a seven inning, three-hit, no earned run gem against the Fort Myers Miracle where he walked one and struck out six.
