Austin Dean started off the year swinging one of the hottest bats in the entire nation and in the Miami Marlins system. The former fourth-round draft pick started the year in Double-A hitting to the tune of .420/.466/.654 through 22 games.
So far through 33 contests at Triple-A Dean has kept his bat lively. He is currently hitting .308/.397/.467. While he is not keeping up the torrid pace that he was at Double-A, he is hitting at a very respectable clip that will warrant a call to the big leagues sometime this year.
While Dean is no longer one of MLB.
