Denzel Clarke Hits Two Homers In Double-A
5 months agoOakland Athletics outfield prospect Denzel Clarke had a day to remember for Double-A Midland on Sunday. Clarke went 3-for-3 on the day with a single and pair of solo homers to help lead to the RockHounds 40th victory of the season. Clarke, 24, has now hit safely in 10 of his last 11 games after a slow start to the season. For the season, the Canadian is now hitting .237 with eight homers, 28 RBI and eight stolen bases in 54 games. Per MLB Pipeline, Clarke is the Athletics No. 3 prospect and offers plenty of athleticism and has extreme power when he makes contact, but still needs to work on his attack of the plate. Given the A's are in a full rebuild, Clarke could get a chance with the club this season. He remains best served in dynasty leagues moving forward, but like most prospects, he would be worth a look in redraft leagues given his name is eventually called.
