After a great inaugural professional season in Class A last year, Brett Wallace hasn't seen quite as much success thus far in 2009. Wallace started the season with Double-A Springfield and had reasonable success there, batting .281 five homeruns and 16 RBI's in 32 games. However, since is promotion to Triple-A, Wallace has experienced his first struggles in the professional ranks.
In his first 26 Triple A games, Wallace is batting a paltry .234 with two homeruns and only 8 RBI's. Additionally, the great patience at the plate down in Double-A (18 walks with a .403 OBP) has disappeared, having drawn only 6 walks which gives him a .282 OBP.
None of this should cause much alarm, as it isn't unusual for somebody his age and experience level to struggle at the Triple-A level as opposed to lesser levels. However, it would be promising if he started to show some signs of life soon, as he is one of our best hitting prospects.
