Héctor Gómez first reported the news.on Sunday."He has met all of the challenges that we have faced him with, and he loves to play baseball. We are excited to see him get out into the system."
De Vries, MLB Pipeline's No. 1 international prospect, agreed to a $4.2 million contract with San Diego out of the Dominican Republic in January. He arrived in Arizona for the Cactus League in early March and started the Spring Breakout game on March 23, going 1-for-2 with two walks, an RBI, and two runs scored in a 13-10 win over the Mariners' prospects playing all nine innings.
The infielder stands at 6-foot-2 and has the big league scouts enamored with his ability to recognize pitches and make contact consistently at such a young age.
