When it comes to hot stretches from a prospect, it would be hard to find one more scorching than in Cornelius Randolph’s two most recent games for the Lehigh Valley IronPigs.
The former first-round pick went a combined 6-for-9 with two home runs, three doubles and six RBIs against the Syracuse Mets on Wednesday and Thursday. Randolph had 15 total bases and six RBIs in the two contests.
The biggest night of the left-handed hitter’s minor-league career came on Wednesday in Syracuse. He went 5-for-5 at the plate with three doubles, a single and a home run to right-center field in a 16-1 Lehigh Valley victory.
