I think it has a lot to do with the pitchers, Powers waits for the high fastball until he gets two strikes on him then he just swings to protect the plate but I'm very surprised with his numbers as well.

Positional Ranking in the Rays Organization:




Barry Powers did all he could to impress. He dominated all the pitchers in the Double A that he face, and not just by a little but by a lot. Surely he will be at least clled up to the Triple A after the Double A All-Star game but he is more then ready to help the Rays in the majors.




Montgomery Biscuits Standing at the end of the 1st Half:







The 2015 Southern League All-Star Game:




"Barry Powers got over 1 million votes, that's 1 million votes for a Double A All-Star game!!! The Rays better bring this boy up as the nation/world has their eyes on him already. Besides the media attention they would receive, he could actually help them at the CF spot and he couldn't really do any worse then Desmond Jennings is."

Day after the All-Star game at Tropicana Field....


Barry Powers had packed his bags and was waiting for his taxi to take him to the airport to head back to Montgomery. He hadn't heard anything from the Rays GM about where he would be playing, he had met with the some of the ownership who had come down just to see him play.

The taxi had arrived and he was on his way, maybe he could have done better in the game, is going 2 from 2 not good enough? He was was starting to get mad, "If they don't put me up I'm requesting a trade, this is bs that I'm playing in the Double A! I'm Barry Powers!" he said to himself.

Next thing his phone rang, as if the Rays GM heard that Powers wanted out if not put up!

"Hey Barry, sorry I didn't get a chance to catch up with you yesterday. We have decided that we will be moving you up."

First thing came to his head with that he would be heading to Durham to play out the year with the Bulls.

"Can you come and meet me at the stadium so we can get you settled in?"

Wait what....."Settled in? Like in.....?" Barry Powers wasn't expecting this when he woke up this morning.

"You are playing for the Tampa Bay Rays now Barry. We didn't want to send you to the Triple A's and waste this great form you are in, we reckon you can help us in the second half of the season. We need you to bring that raw power and passion to this team. We believe you are ready for the majors."

Barry thought to himself, I was born ready!
















The Rays are currently 12.5 games back from the Boston Red Sox who lead the division. The first team that Barry Powers will face is the Red Sox, he plans to help the Rays close the gap from game 1.
