The 22-year-old hit his seventh homer since being promoted to Triple-A Memphis on July 7, and is slashing .301/.394/.639 in 99 plate appearances during that time. Everything looks great under the hood for the Cardinals' top prospect. He has more walks than strikeouts, has stolen 16 bases across Double-A and Triple-A, and boasts a strong 50% hard-hit rate at Triple-A. He's been able to lift the ball for power, and he should be held in high esteem in dynasty leagues. There's a chance he gets called up when rosters expand, and he'd be worth picking up in most formats.

He should be viewed as a prized asset in dynasty leagues.
