Rays prospects and minor leagues: Mead off to another strong start

Who were the top players in the organization in April? Charleston’s Dru Baker was probably the best hitter. He batted .435/.552/.717 with three homers and eight steals. He was tied for third in homers and ranked fourth in steals. Among top-30 prospects, Curtis Mead is at it again. He had a 1.040 OPS with 12 extra-base hits in 17 games with as many walks as strikeouts.

On the mound, Taj Bradley’s 3.50 ERA is good compared to the league average of 4.38. He has 19 strikeouts and three walks in 18 innings. Charleston has a pair of pitchers off to a ridiculous start.
