Joey Loperfido Slugs Three Homers In Opening Series
8 months agoHouston Astros prospect Joey Loperfido ranks third among the club's outfield prospects but boasts the potential to be an everyday standout in the majors. He runs well, has a strong blend of contact and power, and boasts positional versatility with his ability to play the outfield, first base, or second base. These strengths certainly make up for his average defense and strikeout tendencies. Loperfido flexed his muscle during Sugar Land's opening series as he went 3-for-11 with three home runs. He added seven RBI, one walk, and three strikeouts along the way. The 24-year-old came close to tallying 30 homers and 30 steals last year, which is a benchmark he could reach as a full-time big leaguer next season.
