Otto Kemp is among the most burning baseball strikers at all levels, and his frenzy started well before opening.
Kemp hit six bombs and rolled 22 points in the fall league in Arizona in 15 games, then delivered seven strokes on 20 strikes in the spring for phillies, with four additional strokes included. He was recently appointed the Player of the month of the international league for April And in fact improved since the calendar overturned in May. It currently cuts .341 / .432 / .689 in Lehigh Valley with 10 circuits, five interceptions and 25 XBHS. Kemp essentially establishes strong contact every day, tirelessly.
Not bad for a child who is not drafted outside the University of Loma Nazarene, a DII school in San Diego. (Shoutout to the Sea Lions.) You will not find the name of Kemp at the top of many lists of prospects, but, once again, you will not find a more locked striker anywhere in the high minors. It is simply unreasonable on the plate at the moment.

Kemp offers defensive versatility, after having already appeared in the foreground, second, third and left guardian this season. It is not as if everyone in the programming of Philadelphia had met expectations this year, so an opportunity could be present soon. Kemp has a Swing-And-Miss at his game (40 ks), which could certainly become a problem when he faces elite stuff at the highest level. But he seems to have completely conquered the triple-a pitch and he is 26 years old in September, so he is also ready as he will do it.
Cade Horton faced, could soon get the call
Horton was almost untouchable for Iowa Cubs, producing an MPM of 1.24 and 0.86 Whip during his first six departures this season. It's a new pitch guy And it seems that everything in its arsenal works. The right -handed has removed 33 strikers in 29.0 rounds so far, giving only 12 strokes and four points.
It seems that Horton is being studied to replace the slightly injured shota imanaga (hamstrings) in the rotation of Chicago, so be ready to act if or when he gets the head sign.

Let's not forget Matt Shaw, either
The Cubs returned Shaw in Iowa for an additional seasoning after his slow departure, but he returns more or less to his old self at Triple-A. Shaw reduced .264 / .400 / .377 with 11 balls on bullets and only seven ks. There remains the long -term plan to the third goal on the north side. Let us not forget that he struck 21 circuits and slipped 31 bags in the high minors last year while reaching the base with a clip of .379. We should see him again in Wrigley for too long.
Jac Caglianone hits rockets
Seriously, look at this thing:
It is about as quickly as you will see a baseball leaving a park. Only a dozen large leaguers hit a bullet this season with an exit speed of 115 or more.

Caglianone is currently hitting .330 / .406 / .606 with eight circuits and 31 products. Kansas City selected it sixth in the general classification of last year, after his collegial stellar career in Florida. He should at least go to Omaha soon, if not still to KC.
Roman Anthony, Marcelo Mayer Ring in Worcester
Anthony and Mayer are both high-end consensual prospects, respectively 21 and 22 years old, and they thrive at the Triple-A level for Boston. Anthony reduced .294 / .410 / .495 with five circuits and 23 steps; He seems to be a long -standing guy of 20/20 with a basic capacity. Mayer has up to seven circuits and a scandalous of 34 points produced in just 29 games.
Part of the Worcester veterinarians no longer have adjectives to describe AnthonyBecause he is so advanced in his approach. It is a priority hiding place.
Jordan Lawlar crushes Reno again
When everything is said and done, Lawlar could be one of the strikers of all PCL time. He strikes .358 / .437 / .622 on 60 career games in Triple-A, on three different seasons. Lawlar has just won the PCL Player prize for the month after reducing a ridiculous .408 / .487 / .749 in April.

One might have the impression that Lawlar has always existed, but it is only because it has become important in the circles of prospects in adolescence. He is only 22 years old. One of these days, he will pierce at the level of the big league. He will clearly have another opportunity in the weeks or months to come if he can simply remain healthy.
Chase Burns is cooking
It would be somewhat shocking if Burns did not go to Cincinnati to a certain extent this season. Until now, the 22 -year -old right -hander has not encountered a lot of resistance among minors, withdrawing 33 strikers and walking six in 20.2 rounds. It has three -digit heat and quality secondary locations, and the combination is just a little too much at the lower levels.
Burns certainly has the potential to be an impact arm at the end of the season for the Reds, a team with post-season potential. He could be a candidate to completely skip a triple-a if his services are necessary urgently.
