PROSPECT: Henry Bolte, OF, Oakland Athletics
CURRENT LEVEL: High-A
2024 STATS: 31 G, .246/.366/.434, Five HR, 24 RBI, 27 R, 13 SB, 13.1% BB%, 36.6% K%, .391 BABIP, .376 wOBA, 127 wRC+
ANALYSIS: The Athletics made Bolte their second-round pick in 2022 and convinced him to sign an over-slot deal rather than attend the University of Texas. Bolte offers a rare blend of power and speed, using the latter trait to swipe plenty of bases and hold down the fort in center field. He also has a strong glove and a decent hit tool, though he definitely needs to cut down on strikeouts.

Last week, Bolte went 7-for-24. While .292 isn't an elite batting average, Bolte worked to complement his hit total with an impressive two home runs, nine RBI, and two stolen bases. If the young outfielder can reduce his strikeout total, he could be shuttled through the minors and to the majors by this time next year.
