George Lombard Jr. Tallies Hit In Double-A Debut
George Lombard Jr. went 1-for-4 with two strikeouts during his Double-A debut on Tuesday evening. Lombard opened the campaign at High-A but was given an early promotion. Through his first 24 games of the campaign at High-A, the 19-year-old looked quite comfortable, holding a .329/.495/.488 slash line with eight doubles, one home run, 11 stolen bases, and an impressive 22:23 K:BB. Last summer, Lombard received his first look at High-A but posted a modest .226/.321/.296 slash line. Given his steady progress, fantasy managers should continue to closely monitor his progression at Double-A. The No. 2-ranked prospect in Bronx could even push for a late-season taste of Triple-A if he continues to produce.
