The Tampa Bay Rays send some of their lower level prospects to Australia every off season to participate in the Australian Baseball League. This year is no different as they get Garrett Whitley, Jake Fraley, Zacrey Law and Michael Brosseau into the mix with the Perth Heat, the ABL’s only west coast-based team.
2015 first round draft pick Garrett Whitley is coming off his first full season of pro ball with the Bowling Green Hot Rods in which he slashed .249/.362/.430 with 21 stolen bases for a 127 wRC+ over 426 plate appearances in 104 games.
