Oakland Athletics: Prospect Matt Chapman Deserves a Call-Up in 2016

The Oakland Athletics had some very impressive prospects at spring camp this March however none have been as spectacular as minor league third baseman Matt Chapman. Chapman is the Oakland Athletics No. 6 prospect and has been demonstrating his powerful bat and quality fielding skills this spring. Because of the success he has found while playing with major league-level ballplayers this March, Chapman deserves to be called up the big leagues at some point this season.

The A’s drafted Chapman in the first round in 2014. Since then, he has quickly climbed the minor league ladder.
