Astros Prospect Report: Games of June 2, 2015

Fresno vs Colorado Springs (Win 5-1):

Presley continues hot streak with a couple hits and RBI's.  Solid night of pitching to defeat Colorado Springs.

Corpus Christi vs NW Arkansas (W 6-1):

VV dominates in win over Naturals.  Six other players have multiple hits nights.

Can we just send @vjvelasquezrhp to the Big Leagues? The only thing he has to work on is his knowledges of Houston traffic.

BP had a blurb on VV:

Vincent Velasquez, RHP, Astros (Corpus Christi, AA): 7 IP, H, R, 2 BB, 9 K. Velasquez has been stellar in his first taste of Double-A action after getting a late start to the season due to a strained lat. The Astros have been bringing him along slowly to begin the season, but Tuesday’s outing marked the longest of his five appearances to date. He continues to miss bats at a remarkably high rate despite the new challenge in competition, thanks in large part to his mid-90s velocity and plus changeup.

Lancaster vs High Desert (L9-8):

High offense night with Wik going for cycle still isn't enough to get win for Lancaster.  AJ Reed with 4 RBI night with Fisher on opposite end gets "Golden Sombrero" with 0x4 night 4K's, he did get 1 BB which helps.

BP had a blurb on Reed.

A.J. Reed, 1B, Astros (Lancaster, A+): 2-3, R, HR, K. Showing off an advanced approach to go with strong power and plate-discipline skills, Reed is hardly being tested in the California League, where he’s happily exploiting the hitter-friendly environments. There’s some swing-and-miss to his game that the Astros would like to see ironed out, but some of that will always be present because of his propensity for working deep counts. The Astros have been aggressive with their prospect promotions recently, so seeing him in Corpus Christi after the All-Star break wouldn’t be shocking.
