Nick Vogt's Big Week Includes Five Extra-Base Hits, Six RBI
6 months agoSan Diego Padres prospect Nick Vogt is a former seventh-round pick who has played a variety of outfield positions in his career. At the plate, he needs to cut down on strikeouts, especially for someone who isn't mashing dozens of homers on a yearly basis. Vogt can't afford to sacrifice discipline, which will in turn allow him to get on base and steal, which he does so well. Vogt certainly found his groove last week, going 10-for-22 with three homers, two doubles, six RBI, and five strikeouts. He failed to draw a walk during this span but made up for it with a generally impressive line at the plate. The 23-year-old's solid start to the 2024 campaign makes him a fitting candidate to round out this week's honorees.
