Former FSU baseball player Marco Dinges has been named the Milwaukee Brewers Minor League Player of the Month for April. Dinges is playing for the Carolina Mudcats, the Single-A affiliate of the Brewers in Zebulon, North Carolina.
He hit .400/.523/.620 (20-for-50) with six doubles, one triple, one home run, 17 RBI, and 10 runs over 15 games in April. Dinges reached base in all 15 games and had multiple hits in six of the games. He was also named the Carolina League Player of the Week for April 21-27 for his great month.
Dinges was selected by the Brewers in the fourth round of the 2024 MLB draft as a catcher, despite him making just one appearance behind the plate for the Seminoles and spending most of his time as the designated hitter. He has split time at the two positions for the Mudcats, starting 11 games at catcher and five as the designated hitter.
He has made two errors in 89.0 innings behind the plate and has thrown out eight runners attempting to steal. He has not allowed a passed ball and has a 98.1 fielding percentage.
Dinges spent just one season with the Seminoles, quickly emerging as one of the top hitters in their historic offense. He hit .321 with a .590 slugging percentage in 61 games at FSU. He recorded 74 hits, 15 home runs, 12 doubles, 67 RBI, and scored 58 runs.
