Shay Whitcomb Stays Hot At The Plate On Sunday
Houston Astros infield prospect Shay Whitcomb posted his second-straight multi-hit game on Sunday against Triple-A Salt Lake. In this game, Whitcomb went 2-for-4 with a home run and a stolen base. Over his last nine contests, the No. 17-ranked prospect in the system has held a .316/.366/.553 slash line with three home runs, a 10:2 K:BB, and a stolen base. Whitcomb made his MLB debut last summer but only appeared in 20 games. During this brief taste, the 26-year-old held a .220/.304/.293 line with just three doubles. Through 38 games at Triple-A this season, Whitcomb has posted a solid .259/.341/.531 line with 13 doubles, nine round-trippers, and three swiped bags. Given his steady play at the top level of the minor leagues, Whitcomb should be in the mix to join Houston later this season.
