Asheville’s sputtering start might direct some people to think that the Rockies farm system lacks depth in the lower levels of the system. Most of the Rockies top prospects do find themselves in AA Hartford or in the California League, but Chad Spanberger spent last night giving his best case to become a notable prospect in the system.
The 2017 sixth round pick hit two home runs and provided six RBI in the Tourists 14-10 win over Greensboro. Spanberger went 3-for-4 total, scoring four runs and even added a walk for good measure. The first baseman was a menace every single at-bat for Asheville, racking up three extra base hits.
