Josue Briceno Gets on Base Five Times on Tuesday
Detroit Tigers first base/catching prospect Josue Briceno went 3-for-4 at the plate on Tuesday for High-A West Michigan, including a double, two walks, an RBI, and a run scored. It marked the fourth straight multi-hit game for the 20-year-old, which came on the heels of a selection to the All-Star Futures Game and a rise of 15 spots on MLB.com's latest prospect list refresh, from No. 73 overall to No. 58. The recent hot stretch has pushed his season-long batting average up to .291 with a .599 slugging percentage. His 17.3 percent walk rate, which is higher than his 16.4 percent strikeout rate, has helped the Tigers' fourth-ranked prospect to a phenomenal .416 on-base percentage. The 6-foot-4 slugger should be on the way to Double-A in the coming weeks and should be closely monitored in dynasty formats.
