Alex Kirilloff Hoping For Normal Spring Training
2 years agoMinnesota Twins outfielder/first baseman Alex Kirilloff (wrist) started swinging a bat early in January and said he's taking 50 to 60 swings per day and is on track with what his doctors wanted to see. He's hoping for "mostly a normal" spring training, but the goal is to be healthy for the most possible regular season games in 2023. Kirilloff, a former first-rounder, tore a ligament in his right wrist in 2022 that required season-ending surgery. Wrist issues continue to be a concern for the 25-year-old left-handed slugger, as he's yet to play in more than 59 games in either of his first two MLB seasons. It remains to be seen if Kirilloff can develop high-end power in Minnesota, but he's worth taking a flier on in deeper leagues as a young hitter that could still become an impact bat with better health.
