Former NC State 3rd baseman Joe Dunand just made the MLB Pipeline Team of the Week.
SS: Joe Dunand, Jupiter Hammerheads (Class A Advanced)
(Marlins’ No. 18 prospect)
.372/.429/.628, 10 G, 12 R, 16 H, 3 2B, 1 3B, 2 HR, 13 RBI, 5 BB, 7 KReminiscent of his uncle, Alex Rodriguez, Dunand is a shortstop packed with plenty of raw power. He finished his 2017 pro debut with a three-game cameo with Class A Advanced Jupiter, and has thrived there at the start of this season. He paces the Florida State League in total bases (27) and hits while being tied for first in runs.
