Surging Lansing Lugnuts first baseman Ryan Noda honored by Midwest League again

Ryan Noda has had a memorable month of June.

The Lansing Lugnuts first baseman has gone on a power tear over the last several weeks and clubbed nine home runs since the start of June.

And that has led to plenty of recognition for Noda, who is ranked the No. 17 prospect in the Toronto Blue Jays’ minor league system.

Noda was named the Midwest League’s player of the week for the second time this month Monday. 

The most recent honor comes after Noda went 7-for-16 with three doubles, a triple, two home runs and nine RBI during the Lugnuts’ four-game sweep of the Great Lakes Loons.
