Nelson Rada Breaks Out Of Slump With Three-Hit Night
Los Angeles Angels outfield prospect Nelson Rada broke out of a prolonged slump with a three-hit night and a home run on Friday evening. Entering Friday, Rada tallied just one hit in his past ten games and was riding a 4:18 BB:K ratio. Rada began this season by making his Double-A debut which was quite surprising as he never logged one game at the High-A level. Through 50 games this summer with Double-A Rocket City, he has posted a .231/.292/.267 line with 21 swiped bags. Last summer with Single-A, he held a strong .276/.395/.346 line with an eye-catching 55 stolen bases. While his hitting has yet to make the jump over to Double-A, his speed has, which is a great sign. Rada is considered the best prospect in the Angels system and is worth stashing in all dynasty leagues as he is developing into one of the game's best threats on the basepaths.
