Other notable prospect performances from March 20:

• Trevor Bauer, RHP, Indians (expected to start the year in Triple-A Columbus): 3 IP, 5 H, 3 ER, 3 BB, 0 K. The third-overall pick the 2011 draft, Bauer has moved on to his second organization and is still working to improve his fastball command; four walks in 14 innings this spring. 
• Jackie Bradley Jr., CF, Red Sox (expected to start the year in Triple-A Pawtucket): 2-4, 2B. The 40^th-overall
