Padres minor league update week #5
The San Diego Padres top prospect, shortstop Leo De Vries, continues to tear up the Midwest League with his bat. The previous week he hit for the cycle and almost did it again, coming just a triple short this past Tuesday. An early promotion would be a natural conclusion if this continues but his defense will need more time before he is ready for Double-A. Although his arm and glove rate as average or above, maturity and time will improve his decision making and timing.
