Follow the Prospects: Gavin Fien, OF

[welch]

I missed until today he was playing a lot of CF. Doubt that is his long term home, but I’m intrigued.

CF: 25 games
RF: 20 games.

Also a few games as DH.

Maintaining that level over the 2 weeks since last post.  Now since 6/1:
256 PA (222 AB), .266 / .352 / .450, 9  HR, 12.1 BB%, 24.6 K%, .327 BABIP, 112 wRC+

Let's remember he's 19 years old and this is his 1st full season in the minors.

[Slateman]

I mean, that's really really good for a 19 year old in Single A.

Hitting .242 with .740 OPS on the season. He's a definite maybe.

Pretty good for a 19 year old in A ball. He’s still a year below his league average. Long way to go of course.

and his last half of the season he's been performing better than average

Will play all of next year at 20 starting in high a. He’s doing fine. Still hadn’t fully tapped into his tools yet despite adequate performance

[GataNats]

Where has he been?

[JCA-CrystalCity]

looks like he missed the last series.

He hit a homer in his last game vs Kannapolis on 8/23.

It took me about 4 or 5 queries to get by several AI hallucinations but there does not appear to be an answer as to why he did not play. Not on the development list, not in the box scores, no reporting that I can find.
