When the Oakland A’s acquired Dustin Fowler last summer in the Sonny Gray trade, he was tabbed as the team’s CF of the future. That future finally arrived on the recently completed 10-game road trip, in which he started in center eight times. We all got a glimpse of why he ranked No. 4 on our preseason Community Prospect List and made most of the national Top 100 lists.
Granted, Fowler technically made his MLB debut last year for the Yankees, and he officially got his first plate appearance in the last game of the A’s previous homestand.
