Heyward blasts third spring homer in loss
Jason Heyward - OF - Atlanta Braves
March 1, 2013 - 9:10 PM ET

Jason Heyward continued his torrid start to the spring on Friday, blasting his third home run in a losing effort against the Nationals.

Heyward finished the afternoon 2-for-3 with a pair of runs scored, and is now hitting .333 (5-for-15) with three bombs and a steal through six games. Still only 23-years-old, it's conceivable that Heyward could improve upon his gaudy numbers from a season ago, making him a very attractive option in the early rounds of fantasy drafts.
