Blake Mitchell Swinging A Hot Bat
5 months agoKansas City Royals catching prospect Blake Mitchell has started to find his footing at Single-A and has been swinging an awfully hot bat over the past two weeks. In his last 10 games, the former eighth overall pick in last year's draft has been riding a dominant .350/.447/.675 line with two long balls, five RBI, one stolen base, and a 7:15 BB:K ratio. Prior to this stretch, the Sinton HS product held a poor .174 AVG in his previous nine games. Mitchell currently sits with a solid .264/.402/.480 line through his first 68 games at Single-A and could push for a late-season promotion to High-A if he continues to this great hitting in the batter's box.
