Arizona Diamondbacks outfield prospect A.J. Pollock missed all of 2010 with a fractured growth plate in his right elbow, but he's making up for lost time with a hot start for Double-A Mobile, hitting .311/.353/.426 in his first 29 games. He's stolen seven bases in 10 attempts, and is showing no ill effects from the missed development time. A first-rounder out of Notre Dame in 2009, Pollock has slightly above average tools across the board, though some scouts have seen him as a tweener. He runs well enough to play center field right now, though if he loses speed as he ages that won't be true, and his bat won't play quite as well at a corner. For now, Arizona should be happy with his progress from the injury.
