Leodalis De Vries Homers, Drives in Two on Sunday
Leodalis De Vries went 2-for-4, including a walk, a home run, two RBI, and two runs scored on Sunday for High-A Fort Wayne. The Padres' top-ranked prospect is hitting better as of late, going 12-for-43 (.279) with four doubles, a triple, and two home runs in July. For the season, the switch-hitter is slashing .248/.359/.414 with seven home runs, and is posting better-than-average strikeout (20.3 percent) and walk rates (13.9 percent). The Dominican is doing this against pitchers more advanced than him, currently just 18 years of age, making it all the more impressive. The 6-foot-1 slugger has a bright future, which is one reason he is the third-ranked prospect in all of baseball, although he's still a couple of years away from the majors.
