Things that don't show up in the boxscore
Josh Thole, C, Mets (Double-A Binghamton)
Thursday's stats: 5-for-5, 2B, 2 R, RBI
Thole was a catcher in high school, but didn't begin to don the tools of ignorance professionally until last year. He's an excellent contact hitter with a good approach, and his .349/.421/.468 line is opening some eyes this year, but not as much as his defense, which has come leaps and bounds to the point where scouts really think he could stay there – which makes him a definite prospect.
That is great news, because the bat is definitely legit.
