4 years agoSan Diego Padres outfield prospect Joshua Mears crushed four homers over the weekend, earning a spot on MLB Pipeline's Prospect Team of the Week. The 20-year-old was in a deep funk at Low-A Lake Elsinore, tallying just two hits in June before the power outburst. Possessing prodigious raw power, the Friars No. 9 prospect is slashing .222/.384/.444 with five dingers and seven steals across 125 plate appearances. Unfortunately, Mears has dealt with persistent contact issues, striking out at a 39 percent clip. With his potential mostly untapped, Mears is several years from major league relevance but certainly someone to observe in dynasty.--Andrew Le - RotoBaller
