Chase DeLauter Homers Again on Thursday
Chase DeLauter went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Thursday's 8-6 loss against Triple-A Indianapolis. After finishing 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in the suspended game earlier in the day, DeLauter went deep again and has caught fire in June. The 23-year-old is slashing .333/.439/.521 with two home runs and a 9:4 BB:K. He's complemented this mature approach with strong quality-of-contact metrics, with a 49 percent hard-hit rate and 9.8 percent barrel rate in 73 plate appearances. DeLauter won't steal many bags, but his combination of power and contact is quite appealing and could earn him a promotion to the big leagues this summer.
