FORT WAYNE, Ind. (Fort Wayne’s NBC) - San Diego Padres top outfield prospect Robert Hassell III feels primed to build off his first season of pro ball with the Fort Wayne TinCaps this April.

Hassell III says he’s worked on refining his swing and improving his speed over the offseason.

The 20-year-old hit four home runs in just 78 at-bats and stole three bases with the TinCaps, last season.

The TinCaps open up their season at Dayton this weekend, before a home-opening series with the South Bend Cubs.

Opening Day at Parkview Field is set for April 12, next Tuesday.
