Notable Performance:

— Marlins No. 6 prospect Austin Dean flashed some power and speed with an RBI triple to center field in the third inning. Dean has a hit in four of his last five games and the triple was his second of the AFL. Dean reached base after all four of his plate appearances and had a solid all-around game.

Best Play:

— Athletics prospect Chad Pinder roped a ball down the left field line and tried to stretch a single into a double, challenging the arm of Yankees prospect Tyler Austin. Turns out it was a bad idea. Austin fired a one hopper from left field to the bag at second base and easily retired Pinder.

— However, Pinder showed off his own defensive skills in the fourth. The second baseman fielded a ball the middle and, with momentum carrying him into shallow left, made a leaping throw to first for the out.

Best At-Bat:

— Yankees No. 5 prospect Gary Sanchez continues to impress at the plate. The catcher hit his seventh homer of the AFL in his first at-bat Wednesday afternoon as he blasted a two run homer out to left.

Sanchez hit 18 homers in 93 games this season.

Worth Mentioning:

— Cardinals middle infield prospect Aledmys Diaz hit his third homer of the Fall, a solo shot to left.

— Brewers prospect Adrian Houser threw five shutout innings in his last AFL start and early Wednesday it looked like he was poised for another strong outing.

Houser faced the minimum through two innings, but lost control in the third. Five of the first six batters reached base in the third inning and Houser eventually left the game after allowing three runs on seven hits in three innings of work. The right-hander threw 32 of 54 pitches for strikes.

— Cubs No. 25 LHP, Rob Zastryzny had a strong outing Wednesday. The left-hander made an early mistake – which Sanchez crushed for a homer – but otherwise he was solid. Zastryzny threw four innings, allowing two runs on three hits. He threw 42 of 68 pitches for strikes, walking one and striking out four.

— Angels catching prospect Stephen McGee put together a nice game at the plate on Wednesday. McGee had a four-RBI day as he went 3-for-4 at the plate.
