[autotag]Michael Busch[/autotag] is already making an impact in the Los Angeles Dodgers organization early on this season.
The former UNC infielder was selected in the first round of the 2019 MLB Draft, going 31st overall to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Going into this season, Busch was listed as the No. 3 prospect for the Dodgers in their farm system and if he continues to play like this, he could climb even higher.
Busch is currently on a hot streak, hitting four home runs in four games for the Tulsa Drillers, the double-A affiliate of the Dodgers. Check out his home run on Saturday night:

Busch is slashing .320/.470/.720 while hitting 6 home runs and driving in 16 runners along the way. The infielder had a solid season last year for Tulsa but this hot play could earn him a call-up to Triple-A before the year is done.
