Michel Baez's impressive season continued as he maintained his perfect record and stockpiled strikeouts in Class A Fort Wayne's 4-3 win over Dayton on Monday.
The Padres No. 7 prospect set the tone early as he struck out the first two batters he faced in what turned out to be a dominant 14-strikeout performance. When it was all said and done, Baez gave up one run on five hits in 6 2/3 innings.
Baez has now struck out 54 hitters in 34 2/3 innings this season and notched multiple strikeouts in each of his first six innings on the mound. The 21-year-old struck out the side in the third, all swinging, and in total, 10 of his career-high 14 strikeouts were of the swing-and-miss variety.

• No. 30 overall prospect Bo Bichette (Blue Jays No. 2) did it all for Class A Advanced Dunedin in a win over Florida.

His average now sits at an even .400 through 19 games for Dunedin. Max Pentecost (No. 9) also came up big for Dunedin as he matched his season-high with five RBIs in a 2-for-5 performance.
"I just try to trust my abilities," Bichette told MiLB.com. "I just try to battle the pitcher and see the ball as long as I can and still trust my ability to be late and still square it up."
• No. 95 overall prospect Keston Hiura (Brewers No. 5) extended his hitting streak to 16 games with a 2-for-4 performance for Class A Wisconsin. The first-round pick is off to a fast start in his professional career, hitting .423 through 27 games.
