Week 12 Little Hero of the Week

MARC KRAUSS, RF DIAMONDBACKS Team: Double-A Mobile (Southern) Age: 24 Why He's Here: .520/.636/.760 (13-for-25), 3 2B, 1 HR, 11 R, 5 RBIs, 8 BB, 1 SO, 1 SB The Scoop: The Diamondbacks' second-round draft selection from 2009 appears to be regaining the swing that he had in his first two years of pro ball, during which he hit .304 and .302, respectively. Last season Krauss struggled in his first year at Double-A, batting just .242 with Mobile, but 2012 has been a different story. He ranks fifth among Southern League hitters with a .298 average and his 11 home runs have him tied for third. He also ranks among the league's leaders in hits, doubles and RBIs. The former Mid-American Conference player of the year was red-hot this past week, as evidenced by back-to-back three-hit performances on Wednesday and Thursday.
