Marco Luciano Joins Double-A For Postseason
2 years agoAfter winning a High-A title, San Francisco Giants shortstop prospect Marco Luciano has joined Double-A Richmond for the playoffs. It will allow Luciano to get some extra at-bats after a back injury kept him out for most of the summer. The 21-year-old is the team's top prospect, per MLB Pipeline, and it sets him up to begin next season at Richmond. The Dominican shortstop played in 57 games for High-A Eugene this year, slashing .263/.339/.459 with 10 home runs, 30 RBI and 27 runs scored in 230 plate appearances. The right-handed hitter has elite bat speed and plenty of power for his age, but he'll need to cut down on his strikeout and chase rates at the plate if he's going to have success at the higher levels of the minors moving forward.
