Samuel Zavala Struggling At High-A
6 months agoChicago White Sox outfield prospect Samuel Zavala has been off to a slow start at High-A this season. Zavala got a taste of High-A ball last summer and logged 14 games with a poor 0.78 AVG. Unfortunately, those struggles have carried into this season, as he is currently riding a .187/.300/.345 line with five long balls through 46 games. Zavala did post a 3-hit performance highlighted by a home run on Wednesday but this was only his second multi-hit game over the past month. The 19-year-old posted a strong .264/.404/.466 line with 21 home runs in 134 career games at Single-A, but that talent has yet to carry over into High-A. MLB Pipeline currently projects the number six prospect in the Chicago system to reach the majors in 2025, but that deadline could be pushed back due to his early struggles this season.
