Former Arkansas Razorback outfielder Dominic Fletcher was recalled from Triple A to the Arizona Diamondbacks on April 30. Fletcher, who was hitting .323 at Triple A Reno, was promoted to provide depth in the Arizona outfield.
According to Tom Kuebel of Arizonasports.com, Fletcher, “provides some depth in the outfield for the first place D-backs after sending down Jake McCarthy earlier this week and a collision during Saturday’s match-up with the Rockies that sent Corbin Carrol to the bench in the sixth inning.”
The former Razorbacks star has performed well in the minor leagues, especially this season at the Diamondbacks’ Triple A affiliate Reno. There, Fletcher has hit .323 with five doubles, three triples and three home runs. According to Kuebel, “He’s also shown discipline at the plate with ten walks in 22 games while providing some added pop with 13 RBIs.”
Fletcher was drafted in 2019 by Arizona as the 75th overall pick in the draft. In 2022, the former Razorback was added to the D-backs’ 40-man major league roster. He was later optioned to Triple A Reno in 2023 until his recall back to the majors on April 30 of this year.
Fletcher and the D-backs play at Arlington, Texas on Tuesday, May 2 versus the Rangers. Game time is 7:05 p.m.
