2 years agoMinnesota Twins corner infield prospect Christian Encarnacion-Strand is coming off another strong week of hitting. Selected in the fourth round of last year's draft, the infielder has hit just as well in the minors as he did in college ball (if not better). He owns a good approach at the plate with an impressive knack for spraying the ball to all parts of the field. His power numbers are solid, and he has also improved his discipline drastically in 2022. Defensively, the 22-year-old and former first baseman has seen more reps at third base this season and should stick there as long as he continues to display a solid glove and smart, quick instincts. Encarnacion-Strand looked great this past week, going 12-for-26 with five homers, 15 RBI, three walks, and five strikeouts. He opened the week at High-A and finished at Double-A, setting some history in the process. Indeed, Encarnacion-Strand hit for the cycle on Sunday, making him the first Wind Surge player to ever accomplish said feat. He has quickly shown that his bat can prevail regardless of the level of competition that he's facing.--Andersen Pickard - RotoBaller
