Prospect Spotlight

Dilson Herrera will be the next top prospect to shine on the big club, and will probably be sooner than most anticipate, especially with how he has been tearing through Class A and Double A, just this season alone. After his first week in Binghamton, Herrera went on a tear and hit in 11-straight games. He was hitless for just one game and took off again and after going 2 for 5 on Wednesday, he is currently enjoying another 11-game hit streak. In 67 games with St. Lucie, the Colombian native batted .307/.355/.410 with 16 doubles, three home runs, and 23 RBI’s in 283 at bats. So far with Binghamton, he has appeared in 29 games and is batting .359/.421/.581, with 10 doubles, four home runs and 26 RBI’s in 117 at bats.
