3 years agoArizona Diamondbacks outfield prospect Alek Thomas went 1-for-5 on Tuesday with a run scored and two strikeouts for the Triple-A Reno Aces. The Diamondbacks second round pick in 2018, Thomas has been off to a slow start to his 2022 campaign with a .222 batting average, one RBI and six strikeouts in his first six games. Despite the slow start, Thomas possesses plenty of talent due to his ability to make contact with the ball to go along with strong instincts on the basepaths. With the Diamondbacks unlikely to compete in a tough NL West division this season, it is likely that Thomas will make it to the show at some point in 2022. Managers that have the ability to stash prospects in redraft leagues should consider the left-handed hitter and those who don't should continue to monitor his situation moving forward.--Daniel Burdeen - RotoBaller
