Baseball America Prospect Report – May 23, 2018

Tuesday’s Stars

• Trevor Rogers, LHP, Marlins. The Marlins 2017 first-round pick made his long-delayed and long-awaited pro debut last night. The 20-year-old threw three innings allowing four hits, two walks and three runs while striking out five. He sat 92-95 mph. Our Josh Norris was there to witness it.

• Eduardo Diaz, OF, D-backs. Diaz hasn’t gotten off to a great start to his season, but he had a great day yesterday Diaz tripled twice and homered and singled, falling a double short of the cycle.

• Errol Robinson, SS, Dodgers. The 2016 draft class was not a particularly good class for college shortstops, but Robinson, a sixth-round pick that year, has moved relatively quickly. Robinson hit a pair of home runs and doubled for Double-A Tulsa yesterday. He’s hitting .271/.336/.411.

• Fernando Tatis Jr., SS, Padres. Tatis’ slow start had disappeared over the horizon in his rear-view mirror. He went 3-for-4 with four runs scored, a home run and a double last night. It was hit sixth home run of the month and he’s hitting .333/.426/.644 in 21 games this month. And it’s worth remembering that he’s playing the entire season as a 19-year-old. Tatis was the favorite to be the first player of the amazing international July 2 class of 2015 to make the majors. Juan Soto has beaten him there, but Tatis is still on the fast track.

• Jeter Downs, SS, Reds. Downs’ impressive first full pro season keeps getting better. He hit his sixth home run of the season yesterday. The 19-year-old shortstop is hitting .278/.351/.462 with six home runs and 14 steals so far.

• Miguel Andujar, 3B, Yankees and Gleyber Torres, SS, Yankees. The Yankees came into the season with Brandon Drury and Neil Walker pencilled in to start in the infield. The youngsters have quickly changed those plans. Torres hit his seventh home run for the Yankees yesterday. He has never hit more than 11 in a season, but when you add in his one Triple-A home run, he’s likely to pass that mark by early June. Andjuar hit his fifth home run of the season as well.
