Pirates Prospect Watch: Omar Alfonzo Homers For Greensboro

Omar Alfonzo hit his third homer of the year in High-A on Tuesday.

Alfonzo went 2-for-3 with a walk and the homer in the middle of the Greensboro lineup. He singled to lead off the second inning, but was left on base. In the fourth inning, Alfonzo hit a solo shot to right field, giving the Grasshoppers a 2-0 lead.

The catcher has 82 plate appearances since moving up from Bradenton, hitting .232/.354/.377. Those are similar numbers to what he did in High-A, prior to his promotion. He consistently hit the ball hard in Single-A, with a double-digit walk rate, and with some power results.
