Hosmer moving back up some prospect lists
He is batting .423. His OBP is .500 and his OPS is 1.115. It's only 7 games, so its a small sample size. Still, it's impressive, particularly in Wilmington where we keep hearing about it being death valley for hitters. Obvously his hand and his eyesight are much better, but now the early promotion last year makes a lot more sense to me. Wonder when he will be promoted to Arkansas?
Assuming that Montgomery and Hosmer are at Arkansas by the end of the year, the Naturals should be in the playoffs again. Last year Burlington, Wilmington and Northern Arkansas all made the playoffs - hopefully this year that will extend to Omaha.

Does anyone know how to get his GB/LD/FB numbers. His GB numbers were out of hand last year.

I wasn’t sure how quick they updated but I checked and it is uptodate.
GB/LD/FB 54.5%/18.2%/27.3%

Hot start as good news. If he and Montgomery sustain this through May, both must move up.

We need to see him dominate at the A-level first.

I love how after skipping it in the first place
he seems to always wind up there… it’s like they’re trying to retroactively make up for their mistake
