Prospect Report: Dalton Rushing Collects Two-Homer Game



D.L. Hall, LHP, Orioles: Hall turned in his longest start of the season on Wednesday, pitching six innings of two-run ball in Norfolk's loss to Jacksonville. The 24-year-old lefthander struck out nine, walked one and allowed four hits on the day. Hall has struggled to pitch past the fourth inning this season, but has posted back-to-back starts of at least five innings and could soon see a promotion to the big leagues if he continues to pitch more efficiently.

Justin Dirden, OF, Astros: After going unselected in the 2020 five-round draft, Dirden signed as a nondrafted free agent with the Astros and turned in a solid pro debut in 2021 at both levels of Class A. Dirden broke out in 2022 in the upper minors and collected 20 homers in 92 games at Double-A Corpus Christi before a late season promotion to Triple-A Sugar Land. Back in Triple-A to start the 2023 season, Dirden has begun to heat up in May. On Wednesday the 25-year-old extended his hit streak to six games with a 2-for-3 effort with a triple and an RBI in a loss to El Paso. Dirden is 16-for-33 in May with four homers and 16 RBIs in seven games.

Ben Brown, RHP, Cubs: Brown needed just four starts at Double-A Tennessee to open the 2023 season before forcing a move to Triple-A Iowa. On Wednesday in his second start at Triple-A, Brown posted his best outing of the season, striking out 10 over five shutout innings to earn the win. Brown, who allowed two hits and walked three, is 3-0, 0.59 with 47 strikeouts and 11 walks in 30.2 innings this season.

Tyler Black, 2B, Brewers: Black, a 2021 supplemental first-rounder out of Wright State, hit his sixth homer of the season on Wednesday in a win over Double-A Rocket City. The 22-year-old has started the season on a tear, with a 1.012 OPS, 18 RBIs, 17 stolen bases and 24 walks compared to 19 strikeouts.

Dalton Rushing, C, Dodgers: Rushing had one of the best pro debuts of any 2022 draftee and has continued to look like a savvy selection by the Dodgers in 2023. On Wednesday the 22-year-old crushed two solo homers and walked twice in a win over High-A Lake County.

Gavin Williams, RHP, Guardians: Williams, the Guardians' No. 1 prospect, struck out a season-high 10 batters over 5.2 innings of one-run ball in a loss to Louisville.

Adael Amador, SS, Rockies: Amador posted his second three-hit game of the season on Wednesday in an 18-1 win over Hillsboro. The 20-year-old crushed his third homer of the season, a two-run shot, and singled twice.

Yanquiel Fernandez, OF, Rockies: The Cuban outfielder hit for the cycle on Wednesday. He went 5-for-6 with two home runs, a triple, a double, three runs and four RBIs. It was a banner day for Fernandez, who raised his season slash line to .276/.306/.495 with five home runs and 19 RBIs over 24 games. Hard contact is not a problem for Fernandez, whose average exit velocity is north of 90 mph this season. He’s shown improved contact and chase rates, leading to some optimism for his approach coming around.

James Wood, OF, Nationals: The top prospect in the Nationals system is starting to heat up. He went 1-for-3 in the first half of a doubleheader and hit his fourth home run of the season in the second inning. Wood now has two home runs over his last four games and is hitting .271/.345/.521 on the season. A unique combination of top-of-the-scale power, on-base ability and average contact make Wood one of the more dynamic prospects in the minor leagues.

Junior Caminero, 3B, Rays: The third baseman continues to dominate High-A as he went 2-for-4 on Wednesday, raising his season line to .379/.430/.724 with eight home runs. Caminero hit two doubles in Wednesday’s game, driving in one and crossing the plate once. One of the better hitters in High-A at the moment, Caminero should see a promotion to Double-A in the coming weeks.

Parker Messick, LHP, Guardians: One of the nastiest lefties in college baseball the last few years, Messick fell to the Guardians in round two of last July’s draft. So far so good for Messick as he’s dominated Low-A over six starts. He’s struck out 27 batters to seven walks over 24 innings. On Wednesday Messick went seven scoreless innings, allowing just one hit and no walks, while striking out seven. Messick needed only 76 pitches to get through seven innings and generated 14 swinging strikes. Messick combines a low-90s four-seam fastball with an above-average changeup in the low-to-mid 80s, a sweeping slider and a two-plane curveball.
