The Brooklyn, NY native put up career numbers in 2022, earning MiLB.com organizational All-Star honors. He hit .285 between High-A Cedar Rapids (46 games) and Wichita (87 games). Prato hit .294 in his time at Double-A. He set new career-highs in homers (10), RBI (64), steals (22) and triples (8) in his time between the two clubs.
