Last year, Tampa Bay Rays farmhand Kean Wong missed his chance to play in the Arizona Fall League, considered a finishing school for top prospects.
The second baseman and 2013 Waiakea graduate had a steady season for the Charlotte Stone Crabs, an Advanced A ballclub in the Florida State League.
He batted .274 with a .319 on-base percentage and a .652 OPS in his first season against pitchers who don’t just throw hard but have much better command.
His brother Kolten Wong, the St. Louis Cardinals second baseman, played in the AFL in 2012, then went to Triple-A and made his big league debut in 2013.
