Analysis
Ferguson stole an incredible 51 bases in 64 games for Single-A Lake Elsinore to open the season while hitting a solid .247/.403/.364. He's struggled since his promotion to High-A Fort Wayne, however, hitting .162/.270/.343 in 27 games while stealing a modest four bases. Speed and defense could eventually get the 2021 fifth-round pick to the majors, but he'll need a significant step forward from his bat for that to happen.
