A’s prospect watch: Nick Allen named to U.S. Olympic team; Devin Foyle and Double-A breakout hitters; Zach Jackson promoted

The 2021 minor league season is not two months deep, so we’re long past due for a check-in with the Double-A Midland RockHounds.

The Hounds roster is light on top names from our Community Prospect List, as most of the advanced talent has already moved up to Triple-A and the next wave hasn’t yet arrived from the lower-minors. The high stock they do have is mostly on the infield, where a few shortstops are sharing the diamond.

Far and away the top prospect in Midland is Nick Allen, who ranked No. 3 on our CPL before the season.
