D-Backs prospects on Ball in AFL
10/28/2005
Jarred Ball has an eight-game hitting streak, and he's batted safely in 12 of his last 13 contests. This past week, the 22-year-old outfielder, batting leadoff for the Phoenix Desert Dogs, went 8-for-21 (.381) with three runs, a double and a stolen base.
Ball is now batting .339 with a team-high 20 hits. He's also compiled a .443 on-base percentage while reaching base via hit or walk in all 15 of his games.
Here's how the other Diamondbacks prospects fared during the week of Oct. 21-27:
C Phil Avlas: A recent replacement for the injured Miguel Montero, Avlas struck out in his only at bat of the season.
RHP Casey Daigle: Daigle has pitched exactly one inning in each of his eight appearances this season. Last week, the former first-round draft pick had two scoreless outings before giving up two runs on four hits in his last game. Along the way, he earned his third save to tie him with Solar Sox closer John Koronka for the league lead.
SS Stephen Drew: Another former first-rounder, Drew went 4-for-21 (.190) with a triple, a homer and four runs scored. His season average dropped from .405 to .328.
OF Alex Frazier: Frazier is having a rough time in the desert. In his only game, the 24-year-old Floridian went 0-for-3 with a walk and a strikeout. He has one hit in 15 at-bats for a .067 average this season.
LHP Bill Murphy: The former third-round draft pick suffered his first loss in his only start last week. Murphy yielded five runs -- four earned -- on five hits while walking three and striking out seven over 4 1/3 innings.
LHP Doug Slaten: Slaten tossed one inning in each of his two relief appearances. He pitched scoreless ball against the Solar Sox on Oct. 22, and surrendered a run on two hits versus the Rafters three days later. Overall, the 25-year-old Californian is 1-0 with an 8.00 ERA in nine innings.
IF Dan Uggla: Uggla has officially come back to earth. After swinging an unconsciously hot bat early in the season and holding a .500 batting average on Oct. 13, Uggla dropped to .290 as of Oct. 27. He followed a 2-for-16 week by going 2-for-17 last week. Both hits were doubles.
