LF Don Jeppsen (Not Ranked)
Acquired: Via Draft: 9th Round, 144th Overall (1942)
AAA: .214/.259/.291 (40 OPS+), 112 PA, 2B, 2 3B, HR, 13 RBI
AA: .292/.330/.392 (86 OPS+), 372 PA, 14 2B, 4 3B, 4 HR, 44 RBI, 5 SB
CWL: .277/.404/.383 (99 OPS+), 59 PA, 2 2B, HR, 5 RBI

One of the few repeat players from last year, Don Jeppsen went just 2-for-3 in six games last winter. This year, on a roster with far less talent, he's been the Stallions everyday player. It's good for the 23-year-old, as he struggled in AA and was abysmal in AAA, where he posted just a 38 WRC+ in 33 games. He's had far more success with the Stallions, posting a 105 in his first 15 games with more walks (9) then strike outs (8). His .277/.404/.383 (99 OPS+) triple slash is just barely below average in terms of OPS, and he has three extra base hits (2 doubles and a walk) in his 15 appearances. While not great, it's a noticeable improvement from his regular season, and a strong showing here can keep Jeppsen playing regularly next season. A former 9th Rounder, he's never been the highest touted prospect, but he's a good clubhouse guy and has some solid skills. He's quick, can handle all three outfield spots, and can take a walk, but he lacks an intimidating presence at the plate. Homers won't come too often, and even double and triple aren't common either. Jeppsen's age works in his favor, but he's running out of chances to establish himself as even a bench bat at the major league level.
