Rays prospects and minor leagues: Franco ends HR drought

Prior to 2018, Jake Cronenworth had performed well at every stop. The down season he had cost him his spot in top-30 rankings, but he’s off to a great start in 2019. His modest power increase could be attributed to the use of the MLB baseball in Triple A, but his walk rate is back in double digits, and his strikeout rate is a career low. However, in an organization with this much infield depth, he may have trouble finding an opportunity in the majors.

Triple-A Durham Bulls (22-15)

Durham piled up seven runs in the sixth in a 10-3 win over Lehigh Valley.
