Arizona Fall League Prospect Report — September 26, 2019

Jo Adell, RF, Angels. Adell had four hits in five at-bats for Mesa. The leadoff hitter smashed a solo home run to set the tone and collected another three base knocks while also coming around to score four times in total. The 20-year old played 27 games in the Pacific Coast League this season and should continue to get reps there to open the 2020 campaign.

Andres Gimenez, SS, Mets. Gimenez drove in four runs for Scottsdale in their win over the Aguilas de Mexicali. The infielder had a single and blasted a grand slam in the eighth inning. He has seven RBIs over his last two games, which is more runs driven in than any two-game span during his time with Double-A Binghamton this season.

Greg Deichmann, CF, Athletics. Deichmann drove in four runs for Mesa. The outfielder hit a three-run homer in the first inning and followed that up with a base loaded walk in the second inning. Deichmann mostly patrolled right field for Double-A Midland this season, so it should be interesting to see how his athleticism fairs out if he is asked to handle center field more often. His arm fits the bill, but his range will determine whether he needs to go back to a corner spot defensively.

Jeremy Pena, 3B, Astros. Pena went without a hit and walked twice for Peoria while playing third base. In the Astros organization, the infielder has played mostly up the middle, including 60 games started at shortstop for low Class A Quad Cities this season. It’s not his first time playing third base as he had some reps at the hot corner as an amateur and a seven-inning stint in the Carolina League this season. Showing the ability to play it consistently at the pro level would add value to his profile moving forward.
