Last season, he spent the final 23 games of the season at High-A, where he posted a strong .313/.378/.455 line.
This summer, he opened the campaign by making his Double-A debut and posted an incredible .455/.473/.705 line with three long balls before moving up to Triple-A in May. At the top level of the minors, he looked just as strong with a .398/.444/.639 slash line and four home runs.
