Rada is opening the season at Single-A Inland Empire.

EDGE Analysis

This is a noteworthy assignment, as it skips the 17-year-old outfielder over the Arizona Complex League, allowing him to make the rare jump from the Dominican Summer League to Single-A. Rada, who is known for his bat-to-ball ability, had 26 walks and 26 strikeouts in 50 DSL games and won't turn 18 until August. If he makes an impact as the youngest hitter in Single-A, Rada's prospect stock will shoot up.
