Kepler, who was slowed by a forearm strain during spring training, is hitting .308/.351/.439 for Double-A New Britain. Kepler played six games at High-A Fort Myers to begin the season as he worked his way back from the forearm injury. It's nice to see him have a strong start to the year as he's had two lackluster seasons in a row. He's just 22 and may have a later development cycle since he started playing baseball late in his native Germany, but he'll need to show promise this season at Double-A to continue to be considered a top prospect in the organization.
