Montgomery AL; Curt Dempsey was voted the Batter of the Month in the Roberto Clemente League for the month of June. During this time period, the SS had a .364 AVG, .453 OBP, & a 1.107 OPS. Dempsy also contributed 7 HR's, 29 RBI's, and 30 runs scored.
Curt has come a long way since his debut in the ABL a few months ago. After spending 2 weeks in April on the disabled list with a sprained ankle, Dempsey fought for playing time due to his poor start. However, once May arrived he's been one of the best hitters in the league as he took his .250 April average and turned it into .388 in 23 game for the month. June was only slightly less productive which leads to him being one of the names discussed for the SS position at the all star game.
When we caught up with Dempsey after winning the award, Curt was very adament that a lot of his success is due to the teamates around him. "Pitchers have to pitch to me because if they don't, they have Craig O'Day, Juan Ramirez, and Chris Collins to deal with. If those three don't get to the pitchers, we have others who will. The whole team has stepped up in our run to catch Seattle."
