Cam Collier Records A Hit In Eighth Straight Game
8 months agoCincinnati Reds third baseman prospect Cam Collier went 1-for-4 for High-A Dayton on Sunday, extending his hit streak to eight straight games to begin the season. The lefty hitter also drove in his eleventh run of 2024 and is now hitting .353 (12-for-34) with a pair of home runs on the season. The 19-year-old was a first-round draft pick in 2022 for the Reds and has shown well for his age over his first couple of seasons in the minors. Collier is the seventh-ranked prospect for Cincinnati with both Noelvi Marte and Sal Stewart ranked in front of him at third base. Marte would have been with the big league club if not for his suspension, but Collier isn't expected to debut until 2026 so it's hard to say what the landscape will be at that point. It is possible, however, that he'll need to eventually make a move to first base. Dynasty managers will want to see him grow into more power though if he's going to man either corner infield spot, as he hit just six home runs in 390 at-bats last season.
