The Book on Kala Ka'aihue
Prospect Info
Kala Ka'aihue
Born 3/29/1985
1B, ATL
The younger of the two Ka'aihue brothers, Kala (full name Isaiah Kala Ka'aihue) is the righthanded half of the matching Hawaiian sluggers. Kala was originally drafted by Boston, but declined and was later drafted by the Braves. He's one of Atlanta's best power prospects, drawing comparisons to Andres Galarraga.
He crushed Myrtle Beach pitching in 2007 (22 homers in only 89 games) and was moved up to AA Mississippi for 2008, where he slashed .274/.417/.457 with 14 homers in 376 at-bats. He's a great sleeper, especially for as long as he quietly develops in his older brother's shadow.
