Juan Brito Catches Fire At Triple-A
6 months agoAfter a 2-for-4 night at Triple-A Columbus on Wednesday, Cleveland Guardians infield prospect Juan Brito has hit safely in 11 of his last 12 games, going 18-for-52 (.346). Not only that, six of the games have been multi-hit efforts, and 10 of his 18 hits during this stretch have gone for extra bases (six doubles, four homers). Brito is the Guardians' sixth-ranked prospect, according to MLB.com's top prospects list, and they have Brito with a 2024 ETA. The Guardians are winners of six straight and sit atop the American League Central standings, but no thanks to Brayan Rocchio's offense, their current shortstop, which seemingly would be Brito's clearest path to playing time. Brito has played second, third, and short this season, but Andres Gimenez and Jose Ramirez have him blocked at second and third. Brito's hot stretch is nice, but for fantasy, he is probably off the season-long radar, as his power and speed potential aren't impactful enough to warrant a roster spot at this point.
