Tyler Rahmatulla Profile
Infielder Tyler Rahmatulla of the Johnson City Cardinals has been named the Appalachian League Player of the Week for the period of August 8-14. The right-handed batter went a cool .500 (12-for-24) including six doubles, two home runs and six RBI over his six games played.
Rahmatulla’s line on the season is .347/.430/.618. He has scored 39 times and drove in 33 in his first 45 professional games. The 21-year-old from UCLA was taken in the 34th round of the 2011 draft.
Week 8 recap (part one...from the press)
I'm going to do this in two posts because of my extreme predjudice. :) This is the week 8 recap from the press...as I have posted in the past. (Part two will be my recap from the week that we got to spend here in Johnson City...lots of pictures & not a lot of stats!)

Also from www.stlcardinals.scout.com (thecardinalnation.com)
Tyler was player of the day on Sunday
"Tyler Rahmatulla went a perfect 3-for-3 with two doubles and two RBI. He also recorded his sixth error. If you want a newcomer to keep an eye on, this is your guy. He’s posting a very good BB% of 12.4, has an OPS of 1.048 (second in the Appalachian League), and is showing impressive power for a second baseman. Rahmatulla is going to have to keep this up in high-A if he is there next season to really gain some attention nationally, but he is on the right track."
From www.minorleaguebaseball.com
"Double trouble: Johnson City Cardinals second baseman Tyler Rahmatulla batted 5-for-11 in a three-game series with Bluefield as the Cardinals forged a 3-3 split of the season series between divisional leaders. That performance pushed Rahmatulla's batting average to .336, fourth-best in the league. He's the only Johnson City player in the top 12 among the league's batting leaders, though he tops the circuit with 18 doubles in 40 games."
He even had a couple of mentions from the Cardinals major league site - www.stlouis.cardinals.mlb.com
..................................................................................................................
Daily farm reports from www.futureredbirds.net
August 9th - "Tyler Rahmatulla went 1-4 with a double and walk."
August 10th - "Tyler Rahmatulla went 2-for-6 with a RBI."
August 12th - "As we learned from Robert Stock two years ago, we need to be careful about the stock we put in JC numbers, but Tyler Rahmatulla went 2-for-4 w/ 1 2B, 1 HR, 1 R, and 1 RBI to put his line at .337/.427/.589 for the season."
August 13th - "Tyler Rahmatulla continued to rake, he hit a solo shot in 4 AB’s."
August 14th - "Tyler Rahmatulla (I think I am falling in love) went 3-for-3 w/ 2 2B, 1 R and 2 RBI."

Another great week for the kid! Nice job Tyler!
Today is an off day for Johnson City so we get to spend the day with Ty. Maybe we'll take little Tanner swimming. And a nice dinner at a normal dinner time is in order tonight. I think we're feeling a Texas Roadhouse steak. Then it's back to Cali tomorrow. I'm sad to leave but will be happy to be home.
Part two coming up very soon!
