Scouting Report
Updated May 20, 2026
Henry Bolte, the Athletics' No. 5 prospect and 2022 second-round pick, has been called up to MLB after an exceptional minor league performance in 2026. In Triple-A Las Vegas, Bolte posted a .348/.418/.658 slash line with 12 home runs, 17 stolen bases, and a 157 wRC+ across 37 games. He recently recorded 12 consecutive hits and had consecutive five-hit games. The 22-year-old Palo Alto native will provide outfield depth for the A's, who are currently 21-19 and leading the AL West by 2.5 games. He is expected to have a part-time role initially, primarily playing right field.
