MLB.com's No. 46 prospect was named Most Valuable Player as the Arizona League announced its postseason All-Stars on Monday, an award fueled by his exceptional .401 batting average and .662 slugging percentage, both of which led the league.

He played just two games with the TinCaps following his promotion before a left shoulder contusion landed him on the 7-day injured list August 10.
