The Padres #1 prospect, shortstop Leodalis De Vries continues to dominate High-A pitching during the first week of May. De Vries finished April with a .306/.378/.625 line with 19 RBI and 4 HR. He had his first cycle and was just named the Midwest League Player of the Month. His beginning of May has less slugging but he is still hitting .304/.448 with no extra base hits as of yet. Unfortunately, he also keeps accumulating errors and has nine for the season—mostly throwing errors.
LHP Jackson Wolf, after being promoted from Double-A San Antonio to El Paso on May 6, pitched May 8 for 6 innings, allowing a run on three hits, with six strikeouts.
