Former UNC baseball standout [autotag]Michael Busch[/autotag] is on a path to the major leagues for the Los Angeles Dodgers. After his hot start to the season in Double-A, the infielder has received the call-up to Triple-A.
And he made an instant impact.
In Oklahoma City’s 13-5 win over El Paso Chihuahuas, Busch hit a home run, finishing the game 2-for-5 with the home run and 2 RBI’s in his Triple-A debut. Busch is the No. 64 overall prospect on MLB Pipeline’s Top 100 list for the Los Angeles Dodgers and could see himself in the big leagues sooner than later if he keeps this up.
After impressing in Spring Training, Busch slashed .310/.444/.681 in 32 games at Double-A Tulsa and now the Oklahoma City Dodgers this season including 12 home runs and 31 RBI.
Busch does have some versatility with being able to play in the infield or outfield as well.
