Hitter of the WeekThe Los Angeles Dodgers drafted James Outman out of Sacramento State in the seventh round of the 2018 draft. He’s moved up the system step-by-step, but he has shown impressive power/speed combination every season.

Minor League Baseball Daily Thread for May 10, 2022
Minor League Baseball Top Performers The first full week of May brought some focus on who is truly succeeding this season in minor league baseball and who simply had a hot week or two. As we head toward Memorial Day, that will definitely iron out even further. Hitter of the WeekThe Dodgers drafted Jacob Amaya in 2017 out of high school in the 11th round. He has moved up the Dodgers’ system slow and steady, but when the pandemic hit, he took the time to do some significant swing changes to attempt to tap into his raw power. The results in 2021 were not great, as Amaya struck out at…

Minor League Baseball Daily Thread for April 24, 2022
Minor League Baseball Top Performers With 16 minor league baseball teams scoring 10 or more runs on Saturday, there were plenty of impressive individual offensive efforts Saturday along with a pair of Phillies’ arms among the top pitching performances for the day. Hitter of the DayThe Los Angeles Dodgers drafted Jacob Amaya out of California high school in the 11th round in 2017. He’s shown a steady infield glove with an average toolset offensively. He’s retooled his swing to generate more loft over the past two years and returned to Tulsa this year with excellent numbers this year so far. Saturday night was an indication of the breakout he’s having…
