Vukovich, 24, has been on a tear at the plate. For the past week, he's slashed .511/.611/1.200, with eight base hits, three home runs and seven RBI. He recorded multiple hits in five of his last six games.

For the season, Vukovich is now slashing .277/.345/.520, good for an .865 OPS with an impressive 20 homers.

Even in the hitter-friendly confines of the Pacific Coast League, that type of home run power is notable.

Vukovich was taken in the fourth round of the 2020 draft, and has had a slow climb up through the minor leagues. He earned a promotion to Triple-A at the end of 2024, and has showed plenty of success, albeit in an offense-heavy environment.

But Vukovich wasn't the only impressive performer in the Aces' Sunday night win. Infielder and No. 6 prospect Tommy Troy went 3-for-4 with a homer and three RBI.

Troy is just 23 years old, young for the Triple-A level, but has not had much difficulty transitioning, as he's hit to a sturdy .299/.377/.478 slash in his first 16 games with Reno, while playing solid infield defense.

Top prospect Jordan Lawlar had a three-hit night, as he be gins to find his groove again after a lengthy injury absence. Infielder Connor Kaiser had a 4-for-4 game in the Aces' 10-8 win.
