Prospect to watch: Michael Chavis, 3B. Chavis’ bat is his best tool, as he’s not a great athlete, but he has a natural feel for hitting. He started 2018 with an 80game suspension for violating the Minor League Drug Prevention and Treatment Program for testing positive for a performanc­e-enhancing drug but finished strong with a .298 batting average and .919 on-base plus slugging percentage across three levels (short-season and Classes AA and AAA). The 23-year-old finished at AAA, where he’ll likely return to start the season.
