The minor league season is less then a month old but the Colorado Rockies’ top prospect and #14 prospect in all of baseball by Baseball America, Brendan Rodgers, has been turning heads in Triple-A Albuquerque.
The small sample size may be small but in 24 games this season, he is hitting .315/.390/.609 with 6 home runs, 13 RBI, and 25 runs scored in 92 at-bats (as of May 1st). If those numbers aren’t impressive enough, in the last 6 games, he is slashing .458/.500/1.042 with 3 HR and 7 RBI in 24 at-bats.
Typically, this hot-streak would just be another small blip on the radar but lately, the Rockies have been in desperate need of some offense, especially at second base.
