ALTOONA, PA - Back on May 12th, Austin Meadows was batting .148 with a .398 OPS. He was averaging more than one strikeout every game, and he wasn't walking much.
"I think it's only a matter of time before he gets hot," Curve manager Joey Cora said about Meadows after another tough day at the plate for the recently turned 21-year-old outfield prospect. "I'm not worried about him at all. He started Spring Training late, and he's still in the beginning of his year. He'll be fine."
Cora's faith in the Pirates' prized outfield prospect never wavered, and he was right on the money with what he said about Austin Meadows.
