DotF: Wade, Fowler, and Frazier stay hot in blowout AAA win

Five days after hitting a walk-off home run to compete the cycle, OF Dustin Fowler claimed the top spot in this week’s Prospect Hot Sheet. Fowler went 13-for-27 (.481) with two doubles, two triples, one home run, three walks, and two strikeouts overall last week. Also, LHP Daniel Camarena placed 18th on the Hot Sheet. “Camarena throws in the low 90s with a nice changeup, so if he continues to sharpen his breaking stuff he has big league starter potential,” says the write-up.
