Ever since third base prospect Angel Aguilar was named the 22nd-best prospect in the New York Yankees farm system by Baseball America after the 2014 season (.311/.373/.536), things just haven’t been going his way.
In the next season, Aguilar was promoted from the Gulf Coast League to Single-A Charleston, where he watched his OPS drop from .909 to .613 and strikeout rate climb from 18.5 percent to 29.6 percent.
In 2016, it was more of the same. He slashed .221/.266/.373 with a .639 OPS and while his home run total rose to 13, his strikeout rate remained at 29.
