PHOENIX -- Triple-A Reno outfielder Oswaldo Arcia and Single-A Kane County starting pitcher Jon Duplantier were named the Diamondbacks' minor league Player and Pitcher of the Month for May.
Arcia, 26, hit .367 with 12 doubles, six home runs and 29 RBI in 22 games for the Aces. He's hitting .366 for the season with 13 homers and 55 RBI. He leads the Pacific Coast League in RBI and OPS (1.177).
Duplantier, 22, is the first pitcher to earn the honor in consecutive months since Archie Bradley in 2013. He was 4-0 with 34 strikeouts and an 0.79 ERA in 34 innings for the Cougars.
