Follow the Prospects: Jack (not Adam) Dunn, SS

[imref]

Born: 9/05/1996 in Alpharetta, GA
Draft: 2019, Washington Nationals, Round: 20, Overall Pick: 603 (signed for $10k)
College: Northwestern

Currently at AAA Rochester.

Career stats:
https://www.milb.com/player/jack-dunn-686639

Has bounced around between AA and AAA the last 2 seasons.  .244 / .385 / .326 with 15 SBs and 3HRs last season during his time at Rochester (193 ABs).

He started all 211 games the Wildcats played in his four years with the program and led the team this past season with a .340 average. He totaled 230 hits over the course of his career with Northwestern, making him ninth all-time in that category for the purple and white.

The key part missing from Dunn’s playing capability is power at the plate (one HR in four seasons), but he makes up for that flaw in his game with speed and consistency. Dunn recorded clutch hit after clutch hit throughout his senior season, driving in a team-best 36 RBIs and leading the team with 43 runs scored as well.

Figured i'd make a FTP as he's currently the starting SS at Rochester and is off to a hot start. 1.194 OPS through his first two games with a HR.

chill. Org depth. Somebody likes his performance, use him in a deadline deal. He's probably not 40 man roster material next fall. He'll be 28 next year. Maybe somebody sees Ernie Clement in him and would give him a shot as a cheap backup infielder. He's an unproven Ildemaro Vargas.
