Charlie Condon Riding 12-Game Hitting Streak, MLB Debut Imminent?
Colorado Rockies corner infield/outfield prospect Charlie Condon's 31-game homerless stretch feels like a distant memory after the week and a half that he's had for Triple-A Albuquerque, blasting four home runs in his last seven games, including a walk-off winner in his latest contest. The power surge is part of a longer 12-game hit streak during which time the Rockies' second-ranked prospect has gone 16-for-45 (.356), which includes not only those four home runs, but also seven doubles, boosting his season-long slugging percentage to .471 with eight total home runs and a .262 batting average. A strong 15.1 percent walk rate has also buoyed a robust .391 on-base percentage. A high strikeout rate may limit the 23-year-old's batting average whenever he gets to the majors, but the power should play well at Coors Field, and a debut there could happen in the coming weeks. The 6-foot-5 power hitter is still a solid stash option in deeper leagues, especially for managers in search of home runs.
