Yohandy Morales Not Slowing Down at Triple-A, On the Verge of Joining MLB Roster?
Washington Nationals first base/third base prospect Yohandy Morales has not slowed down at Triple-A this season and has put himself in a great position to debut before the end of June. Over his last 11 contests with Triple-A Rochester, Morales has carried an impressive .304/.373/.652 line with a 1.025 OPS. During this 11-game stretch, Morales has hit five home runs while carrying an 11:5 K:BB. Overall, the team's No. 28-ranked prospect (per MLB.com) has looked quite comfortable at the Triple-A level this season, carrying a .336/.411/.587 line with 11 doubles, 15 home runs, and a 61:26 K:BB across 60 games. Seeing him take a massive step forward, based on the modest .731 OPS he held at Triple-A last summer, is an excellent sign. While Curtis Mead's emergence has halted a debut, Morales' current production should put him in the mix to reach D.C. in the coming weeks.
