Luis Baez Homers Twice To Continue Productive Month
9 months agoHouston Astros outfield prospect Luis Baez was 2-for-4 with two home runs and four RBI for High-A Asheville on Thursday. The Astros No. 2 prospect is putting together a nice month at the plate with five homers and 21 RBI with a .315 batting average in June. The 20-year-old out of the Dominican Republic has fared well at High-A this season with a .293 batting average, 12 homers, and 47 RBI. A ways off of a major league debut, Baez could earn himself a promotion to Double-A by season's end if the Astros want to be aggressive with his minor-league progression. As he continues to make his way through the Houston system, he is a name to file away for the future.

Luis Baez Hits Third Home Run Of The Season On Thursday
11 months agoHouston Astros outfield prospect Luis Baez launched his third long ball of the season on Thursday. At just 20 years old, Baez currently has a .263/.314/.425 stat line with three swiped bags and 14 RBI through his first 19 games at High-A. Considered the number two prospect in the Houston system on MLB Pipeline, Baez has begun to show high upside power that he did not show at Single-A last year. He tallied just four round-trippers in 41 games and is already just one short of matching that total this season. In addition, Baez is currently riding a three-game RBI streak suggesting he has raw situational hitting ability. While he is not projected to reach the major leagues for several years, he could become a top prospect in the sport over time.
