A’s Rising Star Leo De Vries Shines in Double-A with First Home Run

Leo De Vries, the Oakland Athletics’ top prospect, is making waves in Double-A, a rare feat for an 18-year-old. His impressive performance has drawn comparisons to none other than Fernando Tatís Jr., a player who also made a significant impact at the same age in the Texas League.

Early Comparisons to Tatís Jr.

Last week, discussions surrounding De Vries intensified as analysts highlighted his potential. Both he and Tatís Jr. were noted for having the most playing time in Double-A during their respective 18-year-old seasons over the past decade. While Tatís Jr. boasted some superior statistics, De Vries, currently ranked as the A’s No. 1 prospect and the No. 3 prospect in Major League Baseball, has begun to carve out his own identity on the field.

A Strong Return After Injury

De Vries faced a minor setback earlier in the week due to a shoulder issue, sidelining him for a few games. However, he quickly bounced back, showcasing his resilience. In his first game back, he collected both a double and a triple, signaling that he was ready to make an impact.

First Home Run Sparks Excitement

The excitement reached a new high when De Vries hit his first home run in Double-A on Saturday night. This milestone not only marks a significant achievement for the young player but also adds to the growing buzz around his capabilities.

Fans and analysts alike are eager to see how De Vries will continue to develop as he navigates the challenges of Double-A baseball. With his talent and determination, he is poised to become a key player for the A’s in the years to come.
