Renato Nunez has an outstanding .278/.332/.480/.812 slash line at the plate in 2015 for the Oakland Athletics’ Double-A affiliate the Midland RockHounds. At the age of 21, Oakland’s No. 6 prospect is an individual to keep an eye on as he makes his journey to the show.
In November of 2010, the Oakland Athletics signed this top Venezuelan prospect Nunez to a $2.2 million contract at the age of 16. Scouts admired his ability to hit for both average and power. Rightfully so, he has been a key contributor for the Athletics’ Double-A affiliate, who are one win away in the Texas League Championship Series from being deemed back-to-back champions for the first time in the franchise’s 44 year existence.
