Charlie Condon Hits Third Home Run of Season, Emerging as Top Hitter to Stash
Colorado Rockies corner infielder/outfielder prospect Charlie Condon went 3-for-6 in his second game back at Triple-A Albuquerque after having a cyst removed, smacking his third home run of the season, and crossing the plate three times. Perhaps just as notable is that it was the first time this season that the right-handed hitter did not strike out in a game. The Rockies' second-ranked prospect is now 10-for-28 (.357) through seven games, and although the strikeouts remain on the high side (27.3 percent), he's hitting well and continuing to draw walks at an above-average rate (12.1 percent). If that trend continues, the former third-overall draft pick should get his call to the majors sooner rather than later. The 6-foot-5 slugger's power will be an asset at Coors Field, and managers looking for some home run and RBI production should consider stashing the 22-year-old in advance of a future call-up.
