Correlle Prime returns to Fargo-Moorhead in 2021 for his third season with the RedHawks and 10th season of professional baseball. Prime has been one of the rocks in the RedHawks’ batting order over the past two seasons, hitting .321/.358/.423 with 203 hits, 22 home runs, and 108 RBIs in 157 appearances for Fargo-Moorhead. Prime was locked in a great battle with teammate Drew Ward for the batting title in 2020, eventually finishing second in the race by just two ten thousandths of a point with his .33467 average to Ward’s .33486. The great seasons from the duo were a bright spot for the RedHawks in a down year in 2020. All in all, Prime finished the 2020 season hitting .335/.361/.423 with 83 hits, 31 RBIs, eight doubles, and four home runs in a league with an elevated skill level compared to previous seasons. He had a fantastic 2019 season for the RedHawks that earned him an American Association All-Star spot and saw him lead the team in home runs, RBIs, runs scored, and doubles. Prime was named the AA August Batter of the Month after hitting .325 with 29 RBIs and six home runs in 30 games during the month. In total, Prime hit .312/.356/.522 with 120 hits, 77 RBIs, 25 doubles, 18 home runs, and 78 runs scored over 97 games in 2019. He played all five games of the NDCS against St. Paul, going 5-for-20 with a home run and three RBIs in the series.

Originally selected by the Colorado Rockies in the 12th Round of the 2012 MLB Amateur Draft, Prime spent two seasons in rookie ball with the Grand Junction Rockies before advancing up the affiliated ladder to Double-A, where he played three seasons split between the Colorado and Texas organizations. He played for the Perth Heat of the Australian Baseball League, where future RedHawks manager Jim Bennett had the chance to watch him for the first time, in 2015. Prime spent seven seasons in affiliated baseball before signing with the Texas AirHogs midway through the 2018 season. He hit .279/.342/.431 with 16 doubles, 42 RBIs, four triples, and seven home runs despite playing on a team that went 25-74. Prime was invited to spring training with the Winnipeg Goldeyes in 2019, but was cut before the start of the season and picked up by the RedHawks. He went 4-for-33 in nine appearances in 2019-20 for Mayos de Navajoa in the Mexican Winter League.

Prime pitched and played first base during a three-year stint at Manatee H.S. (Bradenton, Fla.) that included three trips to the regional playoffs, a pair of district titles and a berth in the 2011 Florida Class 5A state final four. He was selected to play in the FACA North-South All-Star Games after his senior season in 2012. He was signed to play college baseball at the State College of Florida, but elected to sign with Colorado for $190,000 after he was drafted in 2012. The Rockies told Prime when he was drafted that they planned on developing him as a first baseman.
