Tuesday's Stars

Fernando Tatis Jr., SS, Padres. Tatis. the No. 2 prospect in the game, hit his first home run of the spring. It didn't take to long the leave, as it was a screaming line drive.

Daniel Johnson, OF, Indians. The Indians outfield situation this season looks like the bread aisle at a Southern grocery store when snow is on the way. It's pretty barren, but the acquisition of Johnson from the Nationals in the Yan Gomes trade could help at some point this season. Johnson went 2-for-3 with a triple and a home run yesterday.

Jake Fraley, OF, Mariners. Speaking of traded outfielders, Fraley was dealt from Tampa Bay to Seattle in the Mike Zunino trade. He has settled in nicely with his new team. Yesterday he went 1-for-2 with a home run and is now 3-for-7 this spring.

William Contreras, C, Braves. Contreras is one of the best young catching prospects in the game. Yesterday he showed his impressive power by lifting an opposite-field home run over the right field fence.

Jesus Sanchez, OF, Rays. Sanchez's first hit of the spring was a lengthy home run.

Chris Paddack, RHP, Padres. Paddack was absolutely dominant in his spring debut. Paddack struck out four batters in two innings while walking one and allowing one unearned run.
