Baseball America Spring Training Prospect Report -- March 3, 2020

Monday’s Stars

Jarred Kelenic, OF, Mariners: Monday was one of those days where the Mariners rebuild gave a glimpse of a potentially promising future. Kelenic hit his first big league spring training home run, lofting a ball well over the right field fence. He added a single as well.

Making it even more fun for Mariners fans, they also saw ....

Evan White, 1B, Mariners: White went 2-for-3 with his second double of the spring. Unlike Kelenic, White has a solid chance to break camp as a starter for Seattle.

Cristian Pache, OF, Braves: Pache went 3-for-3 with three singles. He also swiped two bases in two tries. Pache is now 3-for-3 on steals this spring. Yes include your very small sample size caveat here, but Pache has always struggled to steal bases at a productive enough rate to make it a useful part of his offensive approach, so this is a very encouraging day for him on that front.

Tarik Skubal, LHP, Tigers: Skubal made his first spring training appearance against a mixture of Red Sox regulars and minor leaguers. His two-inning outing was just as impressive as his outstanding 2019 minor league season. Skubal touched 98 mph according to the Detroit Free Press. He struck out three and allowed only one baserunner (a walk) in two scoreless innings.

Luis Garcia, SS, Nationals: Garcia had a single in his lone at-bat. It’s notable because he is now 4-for-7 (.571) this spring.

Riley Greene, OF, Tigers: Greene has absolutely made the most of his first taste of MLB spring training. Most 2019 high school picks aren’t even getting at-bats in MLB spring training games. Greene keeps getting hits. He went 1-for-2 with his fourth walk. He’s hitting .333 (3-for-9) with four walks and a strikeout.

Dennis Santana, RHP, Dodgers: Santana has been excellent so far for the Dodgers. He added to his sparkling spring numbers with a scoreless inning while striking out two. Santana has now thrown four scoreless innings, striking out eight and walking one.
