Ronny Mauricio Extends Hitting Streak In Triple-A
1 year agoNew York Mets shortstop prospect Ronny Mauricio went 1-for-3 with a double and a walk in Tuesday's contest. Mauricio has a ten-game hit streak in Triple-A and collected a hit in 18 of his last 20 games. In last Friday's contest, Mauricio also collected his third multi-homer game. The 22-year-old is slashing .289/.340/.832 with 19 home runs and 19 stolen bases in Triple-A. The fourth-ranked prospect in the Mets' system has started playing third base in Triple-A, making a clearer path to the majors with defensive versatility. With the Mets sending Brett Baty back down to Triple-A, it may not be long before Mauricio can compete at the next level. Mauricio's combination of contact, power, and speed would make him a valuable player in redraft as soon as he is promoted, though there is no indication of when that might be. Mauricio is a valuable asset in dynasty leagues and a potential bench stash in redraft leagues.
