Braves Top Outfielder Prospect Torching Dominican Summer League

Diego Tornes has gotten his professional career off to a promising start. The Atlanta Braves' top outfielder prospect (No. 15 overall in their system) is batting .346 with a .962 OPS in his first 13 games of his career down in the Dominican Summer League, a complex league equivalent level of the minors.

He's managed a .519 slugging percentage despite no home runs so far. He's hit three doubles and three triples for a total of six extra-base hits. In a breakout game on June 14, he had a three-hit game, all of which were for extra bases.
