Justin Dean had 2 hits last night for AAA OKC, and stole his 17th base of the year. Dean is now hitting .293 with an OPS of .828. He's hitting .361 this month, has 4 multi-hit games in his last 8, and is 13 for his last 32.
This dude is a bundle of electricity and has the "Pete Rose" type hustle to his game, with a lot of speed behind it. Lots of fun to watch!
Here's a look at his base hit to right center from the Bricktown Ballpark. #dodgers
Helluva night for Justin Dean!
Dude is a bolt of lightning, and lit the OKC crowd up last night with 3 hits and 3 RBIs.
Dean banged one up the middle, he sent one oppo, then got an infield hit after falling down 0-2.
You can also bet he played a DAMN good center field too. His game just brings a lot of excitement.
He's hitting .295, OPS of .843, he's hitting .429 this month, has hits in 4 games in a row, and has 3 multi-hit games in his last. #dodgers
Justin Dean added some excitement to an otherwise fairly forgettable game for the OKC Comets. Dean had a SUWEET diving catch, then added a base hit as well.
Dean is hitting .326 this month in 46 ABs, so he's turning it on. #dodgers
Justin Dean had 2 hits last night for AAA OKC, an RBI, and scored a run. Dean is a young man who, quite frankly, we should have covered more of, because he's played very well. He's hitting .284, OPS of .937.
We know about his speed because it turned heads in Spring Training, so you know the defense is good in Center Field, but the hit tool has been good too. He has hits in 3 games in a row, has 3 multi-hits in his last 6 games played, and is hitting .343 this month. #dodgers
