During Spring Training, fans were introduced to one of the more under-the-radar prospects in the organization in outfielder Bligh Madris.
A career Minor Leaguer, Madris has had a solid run in professional baseball, posting a slash line of .261/.331/.405 with 36 home runs and 212 RBI. His best season came this year, so far, as he’s batting .289 with five home runs, a pair of triples and 17 RBI.
Prior to this year, his best season was his first in pro ball as a member of the West Virginia Blackbears when they were the Class A short season affiliate of the Pittsburgh Pirates.
