Slade Caldwell Getting Promoted to High-A Hillsboro
Arizona Diamondbacks outfield prospect Slade Caldwell is headed to High-A Hillsboro. The 2024 first-rounder slashed .294/.460/.454 with 13 doubles, two triples, three home runs, and 13 steals in 48 games for Single-A Visalia. Also, despite a 28.7 percent strikeout rate, the 18-year-old owned just a 6.4 percent swinging-strike rate and displayed a keen eye, recording a 20.4 percent walk rate for the Rawhide. Look for him to improve on the strikeout rate and refine his stolen base skills at the next level, but an MLB debut is still a couple of seasons away. Still young and able to grow into more power, plus tons of speed, give the left-handed hitter plenty of fantasy intrigue, so dynasty managers would be wise to keep an eye on his development.
