Base Runner: Mike Myers – Greenville Drive
(16 R, 7 2B, 3 SB)
Myers was a 12th round selection in the 2012 draft and is a 21-year-old right-handed bat and fielder. Last season at Lowell, Myers struggled with a slash line of .215/.248/.330 with no home runs in 56 games.
This season Myers has advanced up a notch to Greenville and the change has been a positive with a slash of .297/.366/.431 and five home runs and 38 RBI for the hard hitting Drive.
Base runner usually has an accompanying caveat of speed and/or a distinct ability to be an adept runner and Myers has shown that with 11 steals in 13 attempts.
Myers is currently ranked 51st on Sox Prospects.
