Rocchio was promoted to Double-A Akron on July 30 and has hit .167/.306/.267 across his first eight games there.

He was much more productive in High-A, where Rocchio banged out a .265/.337/.428 batting line with nine homers and 14 steals. The 20-year-old shortstop's talent has earned Francisco Lindor comps, but his stats haven't quite caught up to the hype yet. The good news is that despite his tough start in Double-A, Rocchio has posted a strong 5:7 BB:K. With his speed and a solid hit tool, Rocchio carries noteworthy fantasy intrigue, but Cleveland would do well not to rush him to the big leagues.
