Other top prospect performances:
Red Sox OF Bryce Brentz, Triple-A Pawtucket: 3-for-4, HR, 2 2B, 3 R, 2 RBI — The 24-year-old has struggled in his return to Triple-A, hitting just .230 with six homers through 39 games. One upside — he’s more than doubled his walk rate from a year ago.
[milbvideo id=”32906415" width=”480" height=”270" /]
Astros 1B Domingo Santana, Triple-A Oklahoma City: 2-for-3, HR, 2 R, RBI, BB, SB — Santana’s homered in three straight games and is slashing .296/.359/.500 as a 21-year-old in the Pacific Coast League. He has prototypical right-field profile, with a big arm and big stick.
Padres SS Jace Peterson, Triple-A El Paso: 0-for-0, 5 BB, SB — The 23-year-old has long shown a good batting eye, but rare is the five-walk performance.
Mets OF Cesar Puello, Triple-A Las Vegas: 3-for-5, HR, 2B, 2 RBI, R — Just the first homer in Triple-A for Puello, who rocked 16 round-trippers in 91 games in 2013. Puello’s slashing just .264/.322/.349 despite moving to more hitter-friendly confines this season.
Dodgers 2B Alex Guerrero, Triple-A Albuquerque: 3-for-5, 2 HR, 3 RBI, 3 R, K — The 27-year-old Cuban is obliterating PCL pitching with a .340/.396/.691 triple slash.
Pirates SS Alen Hanson, Double-A Altoona: 2-for-3, HR, RBI, R, K — Hanson benefited defensively from playing winter ball in the Dominican Republic. Offensively, he’s come alive of late, driving his triple-slash line up to .267/.306/.432 with three homers in 35 games.
Pirates OF Josh Bell, Class A Advanced Bradenton: 5-for-9, HR, 2B, 4 RBI, 3 R in doubleheader — The 21-year-old switch-hitter is white hot, hitting .425 over his past 10 games with six extra-base hits in his last six games.
Yankees 1B Greg Bird, Class A Advanced Tampa: 2-for-4, HR, RBI, R, BB — Two homers and four walks for Bird through seven games, boosted by a .423 average.
Rockies SS Trevor Story, Class A Advanced Modesto: 3-for-5, HR, 2 RBI, 2R, K — The 21-year-old is hitting .345 with 14 doubles and three homers through 37 games. He’s recorded four straight multi-hit games.
