Astros OF prospect Ronnie Dawson went 2-for-3 with a pair of homers on Wednesday for Double-A Corpus Christi.
Dawson, 23, now has five homers over his first 18 games of the year. A second-round pick out of Ohio State, the left-handed hitting outfielder is slugging .493 to begin the campaign, but he’s struck out 26 times and is hitting just .233 in that time frame. He has drawn seven walks, however, and he’s shown his above-average speed with three steals. Dawson offers plenty of volatility because of his swing-and-miss, but the power and speed would make him a very interesting fantasy prospect if he can keep the strikeouts to a dull roar. At the very least, he’s a prospect to keep an eye on in deeper dynasty leagues. There could be something here.
