Notable Performance:

— Raimel Tapia, the No. 8 prospect in the Rockies organization, jumpstarted the Salt River offense with a two-run, inside-the-park homer in the top of the first. Tapia doesn’t have a ton of power (although he is staring to generate more as he matures), but is blessed with a lot of speed and he put it on display Wednesday. In addition to flying around the bases on the homer, Tapia also used his legs to track down some balls in the outfield.

Tapia finished 4-for-4 and a triple shy of the cycle. Read more about him on MLBpipeline.com.

Best Play:

— Angels prospect Chad Hinshaw didn’t come up with the catch, but the way he attacked the ball and crashed into the wall in the first was impressive. Hinshaw showed he was willing to give up his body to make a catch and after a quick visit from the trainers, he stayed in the game – toughness is always a good trait as well.

Worth Mentioning:

— I hadn’t spent much time watching Blue Jays prospect Roemon Fields run, but had heard a lot about his speed, so Wednesday afternoon I decided to watch him run. It didn’t take long as Fields drew a walk to leadoff the game and promptly stole second. It wasn’t necessarily the stolen base that was impressive, but more the manner in which it was done – Fields got a tremendous jump and stole the base easily, the catcher’s throw never had a chance. However, Fields did get picked off first later in the game being a bit too aggressive on the basepaths.

— Athletics prospect Chad Pinder hit a home run deep to left. Pinder has hit four home runs in the AFL after hitting 15 in the regular season.

— Arizona’s Oscar Hernandez had a nice day at the plate with a trio of hits. Hernandez had an injury filled season and hasn’t hit very well in the Arizona Fall League, but perhaps he’s starting to put it together.

— Nationals prospect John Sims gave up one run on five hits. The right-hander tossed five innings and threw 41 of his 61 pitches for strikes.
