Prospect Spotlight

As a long, lanky, plus athlete, Bray shows shades of a left-handed Drew Stubbs (OF, Braves) with the actions, plus run and short stroke. His hands are quiet and he has a solid, inside-out approach at the plate. Bray wore out the hole on the left side of the infield this week versus Rancho Cucamonga, racking up four hits in three games and six hits over his current four-game hit streak. The strikeouts have been high for someone with his tool set, however, a trend that is continuing so far this season with 16 Ks over 70 PAs. He is ultra aggressive on the bases, and his wheels make him a consistent threat to take the extra base (4.09 HP-to-1B times). Bray has some room to fill out and get stronger with his frame, so there is a chance some of the doubles he hit in 2015 start leaving the yard this year. He did not show great feel for center field, getting poor jumps on a couple balls over his head. His defense is something to watch going forward, as his prospect value would likely take a hit if he has to move over to a corner-outfield spot. — Dave DeFreitas
