Leodalis De Vries Smacks a Pair of Doubles in Three-Hit Game
Leodalis De Vries went 3-for-4 on Wednesday at High-A Fort Wayne, including a pair of doubles. The Padres' top prospect (MLB No. 3) endured a 1-for-27 (.037) slump from June 11 to June 20, but has regrouped over his last four games, going 7-for-16 (.438) with six walks compared to just five strikeouts. For the season, the switch-hitter is slashing .247/.354/.399 with 13 doubles, three triples, five home runs, six steals (five caught stealing), and a strong 14.0 percent walk rate (20.1 percent K%). He's doing all of that as an 18-year-old, which makes it all the more impressive. He doesn't appear overmatched, but look for him to spend some more time at High-A before getting a taste of Double-A later this year. The 6-foot-1 Dominican is likely still a couple of years away from the majors, but has the talent and the power to be an impact fantasy player, so dynasty managers should be keeping an eye on his progress.
