SCOTTSDALE, AZ -- Jacob Scavuzzo may not have come into the Bowman Hitting Challenge as the favorite, but he left as the champion. Scavuzzo, an outfield prospect in the Dodgers' organization, bested all of the other hitters at the Arizona Fall League's early-season showcase on Saturday night.
Scavuzzo was in the running for the title on merit, but he needed a bit of luck to break a tie at the top. The youngster tied with Marlins No. 7 prospect Austin Dean at the top of the heap with 2,450 points, but he was judged the winner because he hit a 400-point target with his final swing.
