Jose Caballero Finding Success At Triple-A
2 years agoSeattle Mariners middle infield prospect Jose Caballero is off to a great start through the first three games, going 4-for-5 with two singles, one double, and one home run. He has also drawn a whopping six walks, meaning he has reached base in 11 of 12 trips to the plate. While Caballero's early-season stat line comes from a small sample size and certainly isn't sustainable long-term, it could be indicative of a strong year to come for the 26-year-old middle infielder. So far, he has done a little bit of everything, including hitting for power, swiping bags, and working counts. Caballero has long been a threat to steal bases, but his tendency to also hit for average has exceeded what scouts and analysts expected back when he was a seventh-round pick in 2017. There's a chance he could become an impact bat off the bench in the majors this year.
