Spring Training MLB Prospect Report—March 16, 2021
Jarren Duran, CF, Red Sox — Duran hit his first triple of spring training in his lone at-bat on Monday. Duran has done a little of everything this spring, but some modest adjustments does seem to be paying off in more power. He’s now hitting .368/.429/.865 in 21 plate appearances.
Shane McClanahan, LHP, Rays — McClanahan was once again exceptional on Monday. He struck out all three batters he faced while touching 100 mph. So far this spring he’s struck out seven of the 10 batters he’s faced while allowing only one single.
Andrew Vaughn, DH, White Sox — Vaughn’s Monday wasn’t exceptional, but he did go 1-for-2. What’s notable is the White Sox are giving Vaughn every opportunity to show he’s ready for the big league club, and so far he’s grabbing the opportunity. Vaughn is now hitting .321/.441/.464.
Jonathan India, 2B, Reds — In the midst of an impressive spring training, India went 1-for-3 on Monday. What was more notable was the Reds announced that they plan to try Eugenio Suarez at shortstop on Tuesday, sliding Mike Moustakas over to third base. If that becomes a viable option (even part-time) to fix the Reds’ seeming hole at shortstop, it would open up an opportunity for India, who is hitting .333/.481/.571, to play some second base.
CJ Abrams, SS, Padres — The Abrams-Bobby Witt debate remains a wonderfully great one, and potentially one with no wrong answer. A day after Witt hit his third home run of the spring, Abrams hit his second, this one a grand slam. Abrams is hitting .267/.313/.533.
