Baseball America Prospect Report — October 18, 2019

Wander Franco, SS, Rays. Franco collected a bat knock in four at-bats from the leadoff spot for the Gigantes on Thursday. One of the youngest players in the league, Franco is hitting .278 (5-for-18) with a homer and RBI thus far in four games against Dominican Winter League pitching.

Edmundo Sosa, SS, Cardinals. Sosa had two hits in four at-bats for the Aguilas. The infielder had a single and blasted a two-run homer in the fourth inning. Sosa had a solid season in the Pacific Coast League where he hit .291/.335/.466 with 17 homers. He has had two cups of coffee at the big league level over the past two seasons and will try to stick on the roster in 2020.

Keury Mella, RHP, Reds. Mella faced two batters and walked both of them in his appearance out of the bullpen for the Toros. The righthander has pitched exclusively as a starter in the minors, but has seen time out of Cincinnati’s bullpen in each of the last three seasons. If his stuff ticks up out of the bullpen, it’s possible he could fit as a swingman type for the club next season.
