Michael Arroyo Belts Home Run No. 17 on Sunday
Seattle Mariners infield prospect Michael Arroyo went 1-for-5 on Sunday for Double-A Arkansas, belting his second home run since joining the Travelers in late June. The Mariners' sixth-ranked prospect hit the ground running when he joined Double-A, collecting a hit in 11 of his first 12 games, but Sunday's homer was his only hit in the last three games. Still, the 20-year-old is slashing .309/.426/.527 at Double-A, and for the season, he owns a .276/.422/.515 slash line with 17 home runs and six steals. The excellent OBP is buoyed by a strong 13.4 percent walk rate compared to a better-than-average 19.3 percent strikeout rate. There's plenty of pop in his bat and speed on the basepaths that make the right-handed slugger an intriguing prospect for fantasy, so dynasty managers would be wise to keep tabs on him.
