Christian Arroyo, 3B, San Francisco (Profile)
Level: Triple-A   Age: 21   Org Rank: 1  Top 100: 69
Line: 4-for-5, 2B, HR

Notes
That’s a home run in two consecutive games for Arroyo — both in Sacramento’s Raley Field, which is pitcher-friendly compared to most other PCL parks. Arroyo’s home run on Monday was a 350-foot opposite-field poke. I wouldn’t prematurely jump ship on Arroyo despite his modest statistical output last year. He’s still just 21, already at Triple-A and has rare bat-to-ball skills. He’s a better defensive fit at second or third base than shortstop (where he’s playing most of his time now) and lacks power and great walk rates. But Arroyo is tough to strike out and should be able to play somewhere favorable on the defensive spectrum or several positions. If the bat maxes out, he could profile similarly to Martin Prado.

Dylan Cease, RHP, Chicago (Profile)
Level: Low-A   Age: 21   Org Rank: 7   Top 100: NR
Line: 6 IP, 0 H, 3 BB, 0 R, 7 K

Notes
Cease throws hard, in the mid-to-upper 90s, having rebuilt arm strength since returning from Tommy John, before sitting 92-95 during his AZL debut in 2015 and 95-97 later that summer — then pumping 99 last year during the fall. I saw him up to 98 this spring. He also flashes an above-average curveball. His changeup and delivery have progressed, but neither the change nor curveball is consistent, and the fastball can sometimes be true. That he’s missing bats in his full-season debut (22 K in 15 innings) is encouraging, as some thought he was just feasting on rookie hitters with elite velo.

Jon Duplantier, RHP, Arizona (Profile)
Level: Hi-A   Age: 19   Org Rank: 3  Top 100: 55
Line: 5.1 IP, 0 H, 1 BB, 0 R, 6 K

Notes
Kane County won a 17-inning, 1-0 home game against Beloit in which four position players pitched (all of them were college draft/signees and, combined, the lot of them threw one inning in college) and no earned runs were scored. The game started at 11 a.m. Central, lasted just shy of four hours, and featured a two-hour and 40-minute rain delay. Below is Kane County’s moment of triumph. Oh, Duplantier was 94-97 this spring.
