Ryan Waldschmidt Hits Seventh Double-A Home Run
Ryan Waldschmidt drew a walk and hit a two-run home run in a 1-for-4 day at the plate on Tuesday for Double-A Amarillo, scoring twice in the contest as well. The D-backs' second-ranked prospect has flourished since his promotion to Double-A, slashing .290/.413/.492 with seven home runs and 14 steals in 50 games at that level. He's been even hotter lately, going 26-for-59 (.441) over his last 16 games, with six of his seven Double-A home runs coming during that stretch. The 22-year-old has also nearly walked as much as he's struck out for the Sod Poodles, registering a 36:38 BB:K. At this rate, he could see some time at Triple-A before the season is over, and could be knocking on the door to the majors at some point next year. The 31st overall pick from last year's MLB Draft should be stashed away in dynasty leagues.
