It’s the All-Star break for two Dodgers levels, and one minor league outfielder put on a show in his home park on Monday night.
Carlos Rincón has had his ups and downs in his first season in domestic full-season ball, hitting .230/.299/.464 with Class-A Great Lakes. But the 19-year-old has shown power, with a team-leading 11 home runs in 201 plate appearances, and on Monday night was the man of the hour during the Midwest League Home Run Derby.
At his home park at Dow Diamond in Midland, Mich., Rincon hit five home runs in the first round, moving on as one of the top four finishers.
