FORT WAYNE, Ind. – Minor League Baseball has announced Fort Wayne TinCaps outfielder Alex McCoy as its Midwest League Player of the Month for April.
In 22 games, the No. 20 Padres prospect batted .354/.386/.683 and led the league in hits (29), doubles (10), and slugging percentage (.683). He finished second in average (.354), total bases (56), and OPS (1.069) and was fifth in home runs (five). McCoy earned nine multi-hit games, including three with multiple extra-base hits.
From April 7 to April 24, McCoy collected a 15-game hitting streak, the longest streak for a TinCap since Fernando Tatis Jr. had the same stretch from May 4-20, 2017. Across the stretch, the undrafted free agent signee out of Hofstra hit .356 (21-for-59) with seven doubles, four home runs, and 11 RBI.
The Baltimore, Maryland native ended the month on a 19-game on-base streak that extended to 21 games before its conclusion. It was the longest on-base streak since Anthony Villar reached in 21-straight games in August 2024.
Following a strong start to May, McCoy is top 10 in the Midwest League in seven categories, leading the league in doubles (11), while ranking second in extra-base hits (17) and total bases (59). He ranks fourth in hits (31), average (.330), and slugging percentage (.628), and is seventh in OPS (1.007). McCoy’s five home runs are also good for 11th.
He now has a hit in 21 of 25 games played and has reached in all but two games this season.
