Two 'Gades rookies among Rays' best

Just two months into their pro careers, a pair of Renegades rank among the best in the Tampa Bay Rays' organization.
Batting .346 on the year, first baseman Phil Wunderlich has the highest average all of the Rays' minor-leaguers. For context, former 'Gade Stephen Vogt ranks second with his .329 average with the full-season, Class A Charlotte Stone Crabs.

Hudson Valley's second baseman, Robby Price, doesn't just lead the New York-Penn League in on-base percentage — he reaches safely on a .436 clip — but he's also tops among everyone in Tampa Bay's farm system in the category.
