Baseball America Prospect Report — April 19 2018



Wednesday's Stars

Austin Riley, 3B, Braves. Jose Bautista's minor league contract and his attempt to return to third base doesn't really change the Braves long-term plans at third base. Riley has gotten off to a strong start to the 2018 season. He went 3-for-4 with two doubles yesterday and is now hitting .370.

Blake Rutherford, OF, White Sox. Rutherford struggled after being traded to the White Sox, but so far this year he's reminding everyone why he was considered one of the best pure high school hitters in the 2016 draft class. Rutherford  went 3-for-4 with three doubles yesterday and is hitting .347/.404/.527 for high Class A Winston-Salem.

Jesus Sanchez, OF, Rays. Sanchez can really hit, as his career .321 batting average attests, and he's currently on a tear. Sanchez went 4-for-5 with a home run yesterday. He now has five multi-hit games in his past six games.

Trevor Stephan, RHP, Yankees. Stephan is one of the many, many intriguing pitchers in the Yankees system. The Yankees' third-round pick in 2017 out of Arkansas blossomed in the Razorbacks rotation and has carried that momentum into pro ball. Stephan threw six scoreless innings last night, lowering his ERA with low Class A Charleston to 1.13. He now has 22 strikeouts in 16 innings.

Resly Linares, LHP, Rays. Linares, the Rays No. 24 prospect, had a rough low Class A introduction as he allowed seven runs in 3.2 innings. But his second start yesterday went much better, as he threw seven hitless innings against West Michigan.
