Tyler Bouldin of KWTX notes that Nate Orf may make it to the majors soon:
The 27-year-old returned to his high-average ways with the Sky Sox, hitting .288 in 89 games one year ago. Now in his first full season in Colorado Springs, Orf has already smashed a career-high in home runs (4) through 78 games and is one RBI shy of reaching his career-high in that department, 43, set in the 2014-15 seasons.
