Power-laden prospects flex their muscles on a homer-happy Wednesday
On a day in which homers were flying out of Minor League ballparks across the country, a few particularly stood out. Top 100 prospects Coby Mayo and Moisés Ballesteros slugged a pair of homers apiece, although even those were outdone by a Mets slugger who took three jogs around the bases. Meanwhile, Padres phenom Leo De Vries continued to wow at High-A while the D-backs’ Jordan Lawlar has been doing everything he can to get back to The Show:
Coby Mayo, 3B/1B, Norfolk (BAL No. 2/MLB No. 13)
Mayo registered his first multihomer game of the season for the Triple-A Tides and reached base four times in his latest game with multiple hits. The Florida native added a double, a walk and drove in three runs to continue a strong offensive stretch. Mayo has gone 9-for-23 with four multihit efforts in his past six games to lift his slash line to .268/.354/.481. Gameday
Moisés Ballesteros, C/1B, Iowa (CHC No. 4/MLB No. 65)
Ballesteros has been one of the Minors’ best hitters since the start of the season and added to his glitzy stat line with his second multihomer performance of 2025. The 21-year-old extended a pair of streaks with his two jacks — consecutive games with a hit (16) and an RBI (five). Ballesteros, who is batting .402 with a 1.078 OPS, has hit safely in 19 of his last 20 contests after going hitless in two of his first three for Triple-A Iowa. Gameday
