Baseball America Prospect Report (Sept. 16)

THE LINEUP

Newsmakers from Friday’s action:

Tyler Glasnow, RHP, Triple-A Indianapolis (Pirates): Glasnow has lost his prospect status at this point, but the young righthander has done a very good job of showing improvement since the Pirates demoted him to the minors. Glasnow struck out 11 while allowing one run in seven innings yesterday. He’s striking out 13.5 batters per nine innings in Triple-A and more importantly, he’s cut his walk rate to a still high but improved 3.4 per nine.

Joey Wentz, LHP, Low Class A Rome (Braves): Wentz continued his mastery of the South Atlantic League with 5.2 scoreless innings yesterday. Wentz leads the South Atlantic League with a 2.31 ERA and is in the top five in the league in average against (.209) and strikeouts (132).

Fernando Tatis Jr., SS, Low Class A Fort Wayne (Padres): If asked to pick one minor league team to watch day in and day out this year, it would be hard to pick a team more entertaining than Fort Wayne. On the mound, Michel Baez, Logan Allen, Adrian Morejon, Pedro Avila and Mason Thompson have provided plenty of highlights. But even more importantly, Tatis has turned into a star. He hit his 20th home run yesterday to go with his 28 steals.

Austin Hays, OF, Double-A Bowie (Orioles): Hays has been one of the breakout stars of 2017. He added to that resume yesterday with a 3-for-3 day that included his 28th home run of the season which is fifth best in the minors. Hays also ranks among minor league leaders in average (.335), RBIs (81), hits (144) and slugging percentage (.619).
