Padres SS prospect Leo De Vries went 5-for-5 with two homers and eight RBI on Tuesday for High-A Fort Wayne.
Unreal. De Vries hit for the cycle and recorded his second career multi-homer effort as a part of a legendary five-hit explosion. The 18-year-old switch-hitting prodigy pairs above-average speed and athleticism with the ability to drive the ball to all fields, which gives him a chance to blossom into a high-impact fantasy contributor down the road. He’s still a couple hyperspace jumps from the majors, but performances like this latest masterpiece show why he’s locked into top-10 dynasty prospect status until further notice.
Heliot Ramos went 3-for-4 in a loss to the Diamondbacks on Monday.
Ramos was one of the few hitters who had any offensive success against Merrill Kelly in a game where the GIants were held to just one run by Kelly and the D-Backs’ bullpen. The three knocks ups his average to .290, and he’s been on fire in the month of May with a .400/.472/,800 slash over his 30 at-bats in that timeframe.
