Pages went 0-for-5 with a walk Friday for High-A Great Lakes, snapping a nine-game hitting streak during which he hit .452 (14-for-31) with four homers and a 6:8 BB:K.
EDGE Analysis
His hot streak dates back even farther than that, as Pages' last 22 games have seen him hit .359 with six homers, nine doubles, 23 RBI, 21 runs and an excellent 17:20 BB:K. He's cut down on the strikeouts noticeably since we last checked in with him, and his walk rate has spiked as well. All told, the 20-year-old Cuban now sports a .920 OPS and 22 homers in High-A, so he looks ready to test the waters in Double-A -- though it's unclear whether he'll get that chance before the 2021 minor-league season ends. The Dodgers have got to be incredibly happy that the trade that would have sent him to the Angels in early 2020 ended up falling through.
