Mountcastle is crushing pitchers to the tune of a .305/.338/.542 slash line with seven home runs, 23 RBI and 22 runs through 33 games with High-A Frederick.

Mountcastle, the O's first-round pick in 2015, is well on his way to MiLB's higher levels. His home run, RBI and run totals are all good for top-five marks in the Carolina League, while the shortstop's 40 hits ranks first. Mountcastle is still working out defensive kinks -- he made 21 errors at short in 2016 -- and where he fits defensively is still up in the air. But one thing's for sure; the 20-year-old can swing it, and Mountcastle is deserving of a spot across most dynasty leagues that reserve slots for minor league players.
