23-year-old Juan Salazar sent shock waves through Texas League last week with an eye-popping performance that brought him the Texas League Player of the Week Award.
A newcomer to the league, Salazar made the establishment sit up and take notice, punishing opposing pitchers with a .565 average, 13 hits in 23 at-bats, no home runs and 6 runs batted in.
Where the San Antonio Missions right fielder goes from here, only the baseball gods know for sure, but Salazar certainly made his mark last week.

 | Friday, June 19th, 2015: Red-Hot Fox Scorches Missions
Midland first baseman John Fox could do no wrong in today's 15-5 win over the Missions as he collected 5 hits.
"In every one of his at-bats things were in his favor... he got hitter's counts," the skipper of the Missions said to the press corps after the game.
Fox agreed. "The key is getting ahead. Once you get ahead, it makes it a lot easier because you get a better pitch to hit. You know the pitcher has to come in with it. And you're ready."
J. Fox walked in the 1st, hit an RBI double in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, singled in the 5th, singled in the 7th and hit a two-run home run off S. Parsons in the 9th.
Fox is hitting .306 so far this season with 25 RBIs and 31 runs scored. He has 56 hits including 9 home runs, 19 walks and .376 OBP.
