Athletics' Lazaro Armenteros: Flashing power stroke in Stockton

Armenteros, RotoWire's No. 6 prospect in the Athletics organization, is slashing .224/.360/.449 with 16 extra-base hits (nine doubles, one triple, nine home runs), 19 RBI, 31 walks, five stolen bases and 30 runs across 189 plate appearances with High-A Stockton.

After a slow start with Low-A Beloit last season, Armenteros bounced back to finish with a solid .277/.374/.401 line across 79 games. The 20-year-old's impressive skill set is likely to enable him to do the same by season's end in Stockton, where he's already set a new career high in homers and is just two extra-base hits short of the career-best 18 he laced during 2018 over 35 additional games. His current 38.6 percent strikeout rate is a reminder of the one major hole in his game that will require significant improvement before he arrives at the big-league level.
