Nationals prospect SS/2B Wilmer Difo has been promoted to Double-A Harrisburg.
He batted .320/.386/.533 with 10 extra-base hits and four stolen bases in 19 games at High-A Potomac prior to the promotion. Difo, 23, was the Nationals’ Minor League Player of the Year in 2014 after a breakout campaign in which he batted .315/.360/.470 with 14 home runs and 49 steals in 136 games at Low-A Hagerstown. Already on the Nats’ 40-man roster, Difo is a switch-hitter with surprising pop who can impact the game on both sides of the ball with his speed. May 1 - 2:07 PM
