Yelich hitting like elite prospect: Marlins outfield prospect Christian Yelich has showed no lingering signs of an elbow injury that sidelined him late in spring training since he made his season debut for Class A Jupiter on April 15. Yelich has hit safely in six of seven games, producing a .500 average (12 for 24), .613 OBP, 1.000 slugging percentage and 1.613 OPS. He has two homers, two doubles, two triples, five RBI, seven walks and nine runs. (Updated 04/23/2012)

Fantasy Analysis
It's just a small sample size, but you see why Yelich is considered one of the Marlins' top prospects. He's doing serious damage in the pitcher-friendly Florida State League, which is very impressive. The scouts project Yelich to be a 25-homer hitter once he fills out his 6-4 frame. While he doesn't have blazing speed, Yelich showed he had good IQ on the base paths last season by swiping 32 stolen bases on 37 attempts. His offense is way ahead of his defense, which needs work. Yelich will likely get a few more years in the minors, so he remains just a long-term Fantasy keeper. (Updated 04/23/2012).
