On a day in which homers were flying out of Minor League ballparks across the country, a few particularly stood out. Top 100 prospects Coby Mayo and Moisés Ballesteros slugged a pair of homers apiece, although even those were outdone by a Mets slugger who took three jogs around the bases. Meanwhile, Padres phenom Leo De Vries continued to wow at High-A while the D-backs’ Jordan Lawlar has been doing everything he can to get back to The Show:

Coby Mayo, 3B/1B, Norfolk (BAL No. 2/MLB No. 13)
Mayo registered his first multihomer game of the season for the Triple-A Tides and reached base four times in his latest game with multiple hits. The Florida native added a double, a walk and drove in three runs to continue a strong offensive stretch. Mayo has gone 9-for-23 with four multihit efforts in his past six games to lift his slash line to .268/.354/.481. Gameday

Moisés Ballesteros, C/1B, Iowa (CHC No. 4/MLB No. 65)
Ballesteros has been one of the Minors’ best hitters since the start of the season and added to his glitzy stat line with his second multihomer performance of 2025. The 21-year-old extended a pair of streaks with his two jacks — consecutive games with a hit (16) and an RBI (five). Ballesteros, who is batting .402 with a 1.078 OPS, has hit safely in 19 of his last 20 contests after going hitless in two of his first three for Triple-A Iowa. Gameday

Jacob Reimer, OF, Brooklyn (NYM No. 20)
It took Reimer two at-bats to equal his home run total coming into the game and two more to exceed it. The 21-year-old became the first player to club three long balls in one game since Brooklyn became a High-A affiliate in 2021 and the first from any Cyclones player since 2005. Reimer equaled a season high with five RBIs and is slashing .318/.383/.659 with 16 extra-base hits and 21 RBIs in 21 games. Full story | Gameday

Jordan Lawlar, SS, Reno (AZ No. 1/MLB No. 10)
The red-hot Lawlar continued to rack up hits, matching a personal best with four knocks and two RBIs while extending his hitting streak to 11 games — nine of them multihit affairs. The Texas native and sixth overall pick in the 2021 Draft ripped a double and singled three times to give him a Minor League-best 43 hits. Lawlar is all over the offensive leaderboards, slashing .381/.470/.690 with 21 extra-base hits, 34 runs and 30 RBIs in 28 games for Triple-A Reno. Gameday

Eduardo Tait, C, Clearwater (PHI No. 4/MLB No. 89)
Tait flexed his muscles early again for Single-A Clearwater, going deep in the opening frame for a second consecutive game to highlight a three-hit performance. The 18-year-old native of Panama added an RBI double, scored twice and has hit safely in six of his last seven games. Tait, who has played just 48 games of affiliated ball, has an .871 OPS, 11 extra-base hits and 18 RBIs in 20 games. His six homers are tied with Palm Beach’s Josh Kress for the most in the Florida State League. Gameday

Arjun Nimmala, SS, Spokane (TOR No. 1/MLB No. 83)
Nimmala, who had gone deep three consecutive games before being held hitless on Tuesday, was once again kept in the yard for High-A Spokane. But the 19-year-old did double twice and drive in two runs during his second three-hit night of 2025. Nimmala, who has collected nine of his 11 RBIs in the past five games, has amassed a slash line of .294/.362/.541. Gameday

Noah Schultz, LHP, Birmingham (CWS No. 1/MLB No. 15)
Schultz followed up a scoreless start with another solid performance over a career-high six innings for Double-A Birmingham. The 21-year-old struck out six while allowing two runs on five hits and two walks, tossing 92 pitches (66 for strikes). Schultz, who has yet to allow a home run through five starts, lowered his ERA to 3.42 and has 24 strikeouts in 23 2/3 innings. Gameday

Portland Track Fest Features More Husky Records, PRs

PORTLAND, Ore. – UW Track fans suffering from a post-NCAAs hangover didn’t have to wait long, as the Portland Track Festival provided many more season’s-bests as well as another glimpse into the future. The meet was held Saturday and Sunday at Lewis & Clark College, with Huskies past, present, and future all impressing.
 
Several NCAA qualifiers who just missed out on reaching the finals headed to Portland to keep their seasons going. One of those Huskies, Kyle Reinheimer, was third overall on Sunday and lowered his 800-meters school record to 1:45.73. Graduated senior Justin O’Toole showed he’s getting back into his top form by running a PR of 1:46.29.
 
In the top section of the women’s 5,000-meters, incoming transfer Chloe Thomas clocked a time of 15:18.49 which would be well under the current UW school record. Thomas is joining the Dawgs from Uconn next season. The men’s 5k saw senior Acer Iverson drop a fast season’s-best 13:25.68.
 
But one of the big stories from the meet was the 11th- and 12th-place finishers in the fast 1,500-meter section. That’s where UW incoming freshmen Owen Powell and Josiah Tostenson finished, running the No. 2 and No. 3 high school 1,500-meter times in U.S. history. Powell ran 3:36.49 and Tostenson went 3:36.85. If run next season, those would be the third and fourth fastest times in UW history only behind multiple NCAA Champions Nathan Green and Joe Waskom.
 
Former Huskies Sam Ellis and Kieran Lumb also ran in the top heat, Ellis going 3:35.40 and Lumb running 3:36.37. In an earlier section, senior Rhys Hammond, still competing in his UW kit, took third in a big PR of 3:36.86 to go to No. 3 in school history. Seniors Ronan McMahon-Staggs and Leo Daschbach ran 3:40.61 (McMahon-Staggs) and 3:41.19 (Daschbach, a PR).
 
Freshman Nathan Neil, who has redshirted the season, ran a 3:41.32 and sophomore Will Schneider went 3:51.28.
 
In the women’s 1,500-meters, graduated senior Claire Yerby had a massive breakthrough, taking second in her section in 4:07.78, a five-second personal-best. Sam Tran also clocked a 4:26.84.
 
Josephine Welin raced herself to a 5,000-meters PR of 16:35.61. For the men, freshman Parker Mong ran the 5k, finishing in 14:40.56.
 
On Saturday, in the steeplechase, former Husky Aaron Ahl ran 8:31.98, and another alum, Julius Diehr, ran 8:40.37. Current sophomore Cruize Corvin broke nine minutes for the first time, going 8:55.20.

Five Wichita State track and field athletes competed in the NCAA Outdoor Championships last Wednesday to Saturday in Eugene, Oregon. Three were named Second Team All-Americans and two earned All-America Honorable Mentions.   

In the 110-meter hurdles semifinals, sophomore Josh Parrish finished 19th with a time of 13.68 and was named an All-American Honorable Mention. He also competed in the long jump finals and fouled on all three of his attempts.

Sophomore Yared Kidane raced in the 800-meter semifinals and finished in 10th place, earning Second Team All-America, with a time of 1:46.86. He missed out on the 800-meter finals by one spot.

Sophomore Jason Parrish, Josh’s twin, finished 10th in the 400-meter hurdles. He missed qualifying for the finals by less than a tenth of a second and was also named a Second Team All-American.    

The Parrish twins, Kidane and senior Joakim Genereux were WSU’s 4×400 meter relay team, who barely snuck into the Outdoor Championships at the West Preliminaries on May 30. The Shockers finished 23rd of 24 teams with a time of 3:10.61 and they were named All-America Honorable Mentions.

In the heptathlon, senior Destiny Masters finished 10th overall with a personal best score of 5,763 points and was named Second Team All-America for the second straight year in the multis event. 

Masters placed 22nd in the 100-meter hurdles with a time of 14.23. In the high jump, she finished first with a season-high mark of 1.84 meters, and in the shot put, she finished in fifth with a throw of 13.48 meters.

Masters finished the first day of events with a season-best time in the 200 meters at 25.54, good for 23rd place. 

To start the final day of the heptathlon, Masters finished 16th in the high jump with a clearance of 5.79 meters. She later threw 44.45 meters in the javelin, which placed her in second in that event. The heptathlon wrapped up with the 800 meters, where she finished with a time of 2:33.30, good enough for 21st place to earn her Second Team All-America status.  

The Outdoor Championships concluded Wichita State’s regular outdoor track and field season. Some athletes who qualify will compete and represent WSU in the USA Track and Field U20 Outdoor Championships from Thursday, June 19, through Sunday, June 22.
