Here's a look at some of the Yankees' top prospects...
SS Anthony Volpe, Double-A Somerset
There's a reason why Brian Cashman and Co. love this guy. In his first 38 games this year, he struggled mightily, hitting just .189. But something clicked. He went 4-for-5 on May 28, and took off.
In his last 28 games, Volpe is slashing .313/.373/.557 with five home runs and 19 RBI. One of those home runs was a walk-off on Sunday, the same day Aaron Judge hit a walk-off three-run home run against the Astros.
SS Oswald Peraza, Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre
In fact, both of the highly-touted shortstops just keep on hitting. In his last dozen games, Peraza has seven multi-hit games, hitting .417 in that span. His four home runs have given him a .792 slugging percentage in that stretch, as well.
This stretch alone has bumped Peraza's average up 48 points (he was hitting .192 through his first 46 games).
OF Jasson Dominguez, Single-A Tampa
Dominguez is hitting just .259 this season, but he is generating plenty of walks, given his .368 OBP. He also has 15 doubles, two triples, and eight homers, to go along with 15 stolen bases. All of those numbers are career-highs for The Martian. In his last 13 games, he's hitting .306 with a .964 OPS.
C Austin Wells, Single-A Tampa
After a brief stint on the IL, Wells is 5-for-17 (.294) with two homers and six RBI since returning last Saturday.
LHP Ken Waldichuk, Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre
After dominating Somerset, the lefty got the call to Scranton, and he's fitting in quite nicely there, too. Since moving up, he owns a 2.62 ERA (10 earned runs/34.1 innings) in seven starts. He has allowed one earned run in all but one outing with the RailRiders. More impressively, he has struck out 49 batters, good for a 12.8 K/9, while walking just 16.
