Petry’s Power Surge in Double-A

**SPEAKER_1** (0:00)
On June 18th, so you got this young ball player, right? Names Petry, and he's making some noise down in Double-A Harrisburg. He just turned 22, celebrated with a couple of bombs and an 11-6 win. This dude's got power, and he's showing it off early in his time with the team. He hit two solo home runs in that game. The first one was in the sixth inning, just a clean shot the other way. Then he came back in the eighth with another one, adding some breathing room to the score.
It's his second and third homers already, and he's only played seven games at that level.
This kid's been on a tier since last year. He was crushing it in high A, putting up some serious numbers with his bat. Now he's stepped up to double A, and it looks like he's just picking up right where he left off. No signs of slowing down at all.
Petry's considered one of the top prospects in the whole organization, and for good reason. His power is rated as elite, tied for the best in the system. He's not just a one-trick pony either. He also managed to walk and steal a base in that same game. It's exciting to see young talent like this develop. He's showing he can handle the jump to higher competition, and his bat is definitely making a statement. Keep an eye on this guy. He could be something special.
