COOL STUFF FROM YESTERDAY

****Corey Seager hit a 4,874,988 foot home run against the San Francisco Giants. Actually it was 463, but still.

****Tampa Bay Rays outfield prospect (and Shadow Twins prospect) Jesus Sanchez went 3-for-5 with four RBI for Low-A Bowling Green yesterday, raising his season line to .318/.366/.545 including .341 in his last 10 games.

****Washington Nationals outfield prospect (and another Shadow Twin) Juan Soto went 0-for-5 in a double-header for Low-A Hagerstown but is still hitting .371/.450/.514 on the season.

****The third member of the Shadow Twins Low-A outfield is Joel Booker, currently hitting .347/.391/.389 with five steals for Low-A Kannapolis in the Chicago White Sox system. In real life he was a 22nd round pick last year by the White Sox from the University of Iowa. I picked him in the 21st round in the Shadow Draft. Booker is already 23 but is a legitimate 70-runner worth tracking as a sleeper. He went 0-for-5 in the same double-header as Soto.
