As we see in the first month of the season, Brian Sanchez put up strong numbers all around.  Sanchez was hitting the ball well enough to lead the league in hits, home runs, RBIs, OBP, SLG, AVG, and OPS.  Carlos Luis, who missed the previous season, came out hitting well also and made up for some lost time.  Wadye Ynfante joined the team a tab bit late, but put up some great numbers.  Leandro Cedeno also added to a solid offensive attack that the team hasn’t seen in years.  Elehuris Montero was decent at the plate and scored plenty of runs.  Raffy Ozuna and Moises Castillo were a little sluggish with the bat and Esequiel Delgado was the walk and stolen base specialist.

Yanfante and Cedeno starting hitting much better in the second month of the season.  Sanchez kept thumping the ball during the month of July.  Julio Rodriguez received more playing time with the promotion of Irving Wilson and took well advantage of that, showing some power at the plate.  Carlos Soto, one of a handful of July 2, 2016 signings, lead the team in free passes.  The remainder of the team struggled at the plate.  Luis dropped off after injuries plagued the rest of his 2016 season.

Sanchez and Ynfante slowed in the final month of the season but still hit pretty well.  Cedeno slumped for much of the month of August.  But players like Soto, Castillo, Montero, and Dariel Gomez picked up the slack to help keep the team well above .500 and in contention for the playoffs.  Rodriguez continued his hitting from midseason on until the end of the year and probably opened up some eyes for the next season.

I think it is pretty clear who had the best season offensively at the plate for the Dominican Summer League Cardinals.  Brian Sanchez is my choice for the 2016 DSL Player of the Year.
