Minor League Ball Gameday: Thursday, June 26

Hello everybody, welcome back to the Minor League Ball Gameday. As long as my schedule allows it, I will try to throw this up early in the day and fill out the sections as the day progresses. Be sure to check back frequently to see the new additions throughout the day.

We have a new addition to today's Gameday thread with the addition of 30 more prospects for you to keep tabs on as the year rolls along. Namely, Cardinals catcher-turned-outfielder Rowan Wick who blasted two homers for the State College Spikes in New York-Penn League (A-). The 21 year old Canadian right fielder was a 9th round pick in 2012 out of Cypress College in California and signed for a mere $75K. So far through 13 games, Wick is 16-42 with nine home runs, two doubles, 12 runs scored, 16 RBI, 10 walks, nine punch outs and has an insane Bryant/Gallo esque 381/500/1071 line which is good for a stout 1.571 OPS. Robert Davidson of Scout.com made a nifty little .gif for your perusal, via cardinalsfarm.com

As always, you can check out the rest of the stats from yesterday below in the link and enjoy!
