Leodalis De Vries Hits First Professional Home Run For Single-A Lake Elsinore
5 months agoSan Diego Padres shortstop prospect Leodalis De Vries was 1-for-3 with a home run for Single-A Lake Elsinore on Tuesday. The Padres' No. 4 prospect is off to a slow start at Single-A so far this season, hitting .197 with one homer and 15 RBI to go with five steals in 36 games. At just 17 years old, De Vries is adjusting to professional ball but the upside is there for one of the top recent international signings. The youngster out of the Dominican Republic is a name to file away in dynasty leagues, but he is a long way off the radar in redraft leagues. The home run on Tuesday, the first of his minor league career, is a good start as he begins to chart his path through the Padres' minor league system.
