*Top Hitter of the Day*

• Jacob Amaya, 2B – Great Lakes Loons – Los Angeles Dodgers – – 1-3, 2B, RBi, BB, K – – There really isn’t anything to dislike about the 20-year-old California native. Amaya’s walk in the first inning of the Loons 3-0 win over Fort Wayne gave him 55 on the year, which ties him for fourth in all the minors with Cubs star/AAA Iowa’s Ian Happ. His double in the fifth pulled him into second place in the Midwest League behind Wisconsin Timber Rattler catcher David Fry, who’s 32 two-baggers leads all the minors. Amaya is hitting .260, has budding power and defensively, scouts say he has “a nose for the ball” with great energy and work ethic. Amaya, our 2018 UTR Organizational All-Star selection at shortstop, has overachiever written all over him, and I wouldn’t be shocked to see him rocket up LA Dodgers off-season prospect boards, and potentially into some top five’s. 

California League: 

• Connor Wong, C – Rancho Cucamonga Quakes – Los Angeles Dodgers –– 2-4, HR (15), R, 3RBi, 2K –
• Cal Raleigh, C – Modesto Nuts – Seattle Mariners –– 1-4, HR (18), 2R, 2RBi, BB –– It’s one thing as a hitter to be one home run shy of your respective league lead. But it’s another to be doing it as a catcher. That’s exactly where the third round draft pick out of Florida State (2018) has found himself. Raleigh clubbed his 18th homer of the season with one on in the fourth inning in Modesto’s (40-49) 7-3 victory last night versus San Jose (38-50). The 6’3″- 215 lb. switch-hitter went yard for the third time in three games and eight of his eighteen homers on the year have come over his last 12. If he up keeps this pace, Raleigh will surely find himself entrenched deep within the Mariners 2020 Top 10 and quite possibly inside the minors top 10 overall catcher list.

Take a look.
