Nick Yorke with a HR. 106 mph off the bat.
He now has more HRs in AAA (5 in 104 ABs) than in AA (4 in 175 AB).

He looked in control during that at bat. Good eye. Good opposite field swing.

Campbell has the highest wRC+ in AA of any player with 120 or more PAs at the level since Carlos Correa in 2015. Correa is the only player with that many PAs, in any season since at least 2006 (as far back as FG minor league data goes) with a higher wRC+ at AA than Campbell.
Every player 22 or under who ranks in the top 20 in wRC+-season at AA (among players 22 or under with at least 120 PAs since 2006) and isn't doing it this year became a good MLB player except for Endy Rodriguez (who the book is not out on yet as he only has 57 MLB games and projects for a 100 wRC+).

Trennor O'Donnell starting today for Salem. Looks like Portes is piggy backing O'Donnell. |

Trennor O'Donnell starting today for Salem. I'm told Portes was a late scratch. |

And he homers again. This time 100.2 mph off the bat. I mean, it's not crazy to start thinking about it, is it? Need a RH bat. Slot him in at 2nd. It makes almost too much sense, doesn't it? I mean you gotta find a spot on the 40 man. But he is showing something for sure. |

But he is showing something for sure. It's not completely crazy I don't think but it's still too soon to me and even so he's still young enough and developing that I don't see it being in his best interest to be a weak side platoon player at 2nd who plays a few times a week vs a left handed pitcher. |

What a weird yo-yo minor league career Nick Yorke is having I can't figure him out. He didn't even earn his AAA promotion and he's been mashing ever since. |

Trennor O'Donnell starting today for Salem. I'm told Portes was a late scratch. And it was apparently to follow O'Donnell. Weird. Guessing it wasn't a "scratch" but rather a "change of plans we didn't tell you guys about. Oops." |

This is not really true, his under the hood #s had improved as pointed out in the "Unique Nick Yorke" thread upon his promotion by a tweet from Ian. Sure his back of the card old school type #s were perhaps lagging but when it comes to the minors and promotions that's only a part of the equation. They clearly felt he was ready for the challenge since his approach metrics and EV #s were improving. |

After a solid two innings, Mata goes BB, BB, 1B, 1B and is pulled. I'm surprised they are still trying to stretch him out over ~3 innings.

Including today, Yorke is now 2nd in wRC+ among players 22 or under in AAA this year with at least 120 PAs. #1, #3 and #4 are MLB.com's #1, #2 and #15 prospects in all of baseball. Eye balling the top chart over the list ten years, middle infielders this young who hit this well in AAA generally become good MLB players.
Obviously not saying Yorke is in the prospect tier of Wood, Holliday, & Mayo, just sharing a stat. Also, Meidroth is #6 on the above mentioned list FWIW
